What is our district’s current chronic absenteeism rate? How many middle schoolers, currently enrolled in our district, are in an English Language Learner program—and what are their reading assessment scores? How did third graders perform on their fall benchmark assessments compared to last year?

Each of these questions can consume hours of staff time—requiring effort to connect data across systems, calculate key metrics, and present findings. Podium streamlines this process with intuitive dashboards that empower school and district leaders to find answers in minutes, freeing up valuable time to focus on planning and implementing student supports.

Illustration displaying several different dashboard views in Podium with the following phrases listed: 1) clear and consistent dashboard layouts, 2) summary and over time data all in one place, and 3) student demographic and program filtering.

While the questions encountered across different districts are similar, the intricacies and rules behind the answers can vary significantly. Podium’s dashboards offer customizable configurations, ensuring that metrics align with the specific context of your district or state.

Podium dashboards include:

• Insights on chronic absence so educators can identify which groups and students are at risk for targeted interventions

• Behavior and discipline data that can be analyzed by a range of student attributes to ensure equity

• Current enrollment data at a glance for evaluating enrollment trends and identifying new or withdrawn students

• Term-based grades that can be analyzed to intervene with students who many be falling off-track for graduation

• Assessment data and assessment history for currently enrolled students

• A variety of profile dashboards that provide a high-level summary across data domains

Podium is built on the Ed-Fi data standard, leveraging data sourced from Stadium, another EA-hosted product. Ed-Fi enables education agencies to bring their operational data from different sources together and Stadium formats that operational data for analytics and research.

From Data to Decisions: Scaling Custom Insights with Podium

Across districts and states, education leaders are asking more specific, more urgent questions about their data. EA’s data visualization product, Podium, helps to answer common questions about topics such as chronic absenteeism, enrollment trends, behavior patterns, and performance. But many of our partners also need additional dashboards tailored to their local context, priorities, and strategies. Podium+, our self-service dashboarding add-on, empowers partners to build custom dashboards using Podium’s platform and tools. Sharing those dashboards broadly with the educators and leaders who need them most hasn't been easy — until now. In this blog, we’re introducing Embed Studio, a new Podium+ feature that enables partners to publish the dashboards they build directly into the Podium application alongside the EA-managed dashboards.
