Guide to Reading the District Dashboard

Pulse Network Reporting is a dashboard designed to make data easily accessible for someone overseeing a network of schools. You can use this dashboard to easily view Pulse Check-in data gathered from all schools in your network.

The Network Dashboard is split into the Wellbeing insights and Experience insights based on the types of questions asked in Pulse check-in.

1. Select the Wellbeing or Experience tab on top to change your view.
2. You can change the overview to Month, Term or Year on the top right.

Wellbeing Overview

Wellbeing Overview shows the overall response to the Wellbeing question from the schools in your network. There are two views:

• Overview & Insights
• View All Schools
  • Individual school view

Wellbeing Overview and Insights

You can see the proportion of students who have responded to the question, “How are you feeling?” with a green response (either ‘I’m feeling great’ or ‘I’m feeling positive’).

In this example:

1. Eight (8) out of every 10 students have reported that they are feeling either positive or great.
2. The smaller number represents whether the score was higher or lower than the last time period selected (Month, Term or Year).
3. You can also see the percentage of students that selected each response option and overall participation in Pulse Check-in.
4. The Over Time view will show the score changes over the period of time.

Highlights, Challenges, Check-ins

The Highlights, Challenges, and Check-ins section helps you compare schools in your network and check for schools that need support. The following example shows which schools had:

1. Most Positive Score: the highest average green responses to the Wellbeing question in the current time period.
2. Most Improved Score: the highest increase in average green responses to the Wellbeing question since the last time period.
3. Most Negative Score: the most non-green responses to the Wellbeing question in the current time period.
4. Most Declined Score: the highest decrease in average green responses to the Wellbeing question since the last time period.

Under Check-ins, you can also see (e) how many students from each school have checked in with Pulse and (f) Participation trends over time.

Heatmap

The Heatmap shows a table of every school in the network and every category of experience questions and their scores (out of 10). Each score represents the proportion of students in that school who have answered questions in each category more positively. The closer the number is to 10, the higher the proportion of students who have responded positively in that domain, sub-domain or question.
