Class Atlas and Progress Data

How to look at class profiles in Class Atlas, track progress of the class and students on standards and skills, and create intervention steps that will have the most impact on student learning

Choose which class profile you want to look at in the drop-down menu at the top.


Students

On the left side, you'll see the roster of Students in this class, along with various Filters you can use to view the students. You can choose one of the pre-made filters shown, or choose Select an item.


Data for this Class

One filter for viewing the students is called Low Confidence, which, if selected, highlights students for whom we don't yet have enough data on their work in some content or skill areas to have confidence in reporting their progress.

The Last synced data in the top right allows you to force an update, to make sure you're looking at the most up-to-date data for this class.

And if you want to just look at the performance data for this class on a particular assessment, you can choose Filter by Assessment.


Class Summary

The Class Summary near the top of the profile highlights patterns and trends in the student learning data for this class. And the What to do next? section offers concrete next steps you can take to address the current learning gaps.

Clicking on any of the What to do next? tiles brings up the Kira AI in a right side panel, and it will create new content for you, or organize particular groups of students in the class, so you can take that specific action to improve learning!


3 Visualizations of the Data

In the next row we see three visualizations of the data on the class' skills progress. First, the Zones of Proximal Development (or ZPD) - a phrase coined by Vygotsky, an influential educational psychologist - shows three levels of skills that the class is working on mastering:

  • Emerging - skills that students are in the beginning stages of mastering

  • Ready to Grow - skills that students have made progress on mastering

  • Secure - skills in which the students have demonstrated mastery

The 2nd chart, Skill Distribution, shows the same skills data as the ZPD chart, but in a pie chart format.

The 3rd chart, Tiered Support Distribution, displays the same skills data across Tiers 0-3 (from the MTSS / RTI intervention framework).

  • Tier 0 - Skills in which students are performing strongly, needs no intervention

  • Tier 1 - Skills where no intervention is needed beyond core instruction

  • Tier 2 - Skills where students might benefit from targeted intervention support

  • Tier 3 - Skills where intensive support is recommended to help students attain mastery


Skills Needing Attention

This section displays ranked skill cards with signal badges (regression spike, low confidence gap, overlapping group) showing exactly which skills the class needs most help on, and why.

Clicking on any of these skills brings up a deep dive about the students' performance on the skill in a full side panel on the right.

You can also scroll to the right to see more of these priority skills.


Learning Data on All Domains, Standards, Skills

In the All Domains section, on the right you can Search by skills or standards, as well as Filter by mastery level, by whether the skills have been introduced or not, and by domain, as shown below.

In the All Domains table, the hierarchy is Domain - Standards - Skills: clicking on a domain shows the standards in that domain, then another click reveals the associated skills. Then clicking on a skill will again bring up that right side panel showing the distribution of students' skill data, as shown below.


How to Make Best Use of This Data - Let Kira AI Help!

So you have all this great data on the current state of learning in your class - how can you make best use of it? Let's circle back up to that big purple Recommended Actions button on the left!

Clicking on this Recommended Actions button brings up a new right side panel, where the Kira AI will consider all the data for this class, and make recommendations, in priority order, for instructional moves you can make next to take these students' learning to the next level.

We guide you in how to follow up on these recommended actions in a different Help Center article on creating personalized learning content for these students.
