With Indiana's newly finalized student-centered A–F accountability model shifting to an "N of one" point system, districts can no longer afford to rely on lagging vendor data or static, retro-active spreadsheets. We need to see student trajectory in real-time.

This technical-yet-accessible session will walk you through the logic and architecture of building custom dashboards using Google’s Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio). While the core build will focus on creating a localized Early Warning System [tracking behavioral, attendance, and academic slips, establishing a weighted score, etc.), we will explicitly demonstrate how these exact same data methodologies can be adapted to build custom school accountability dashboards. Learn how to map student data pipelines to monitor critical new state benchmarks like 9th and 10th Grade On-Track indicators, 7th-grade graduation plans, and attendance thresholds. Furthermore, discover how to leverage AI assistants to quickly write the complex calculated fields, CASE statements, and regular expressions required to make your dashboard dynamic. Walk away with a blueprint for turning your SIS data into a proactive roadmap for student success.
