Glossary for the Data-Anxious
Dashboard
A visual display of your key data, usually updated in real-time, that helps you track progress and make informed decisions.
Looker Studio
A Google tool for creating visual, interactive reports and dashboards from your data sources.
KPI (Key Performance Indicator)
A measurable value that shows how well you’re meeting your goals. Think graduation rates, test scores, attendance — whatever matters most to your district.
Data Integration
Combining information from multiple sources (like SIS, assessments, and spreadsheets) into one place for easier access and analysis.
Real-Time Analytics
Your data updates automatically, so you’re always seeing the most current information — no more waiting for monthly reports.
Dirty Data
Dirty data is information that’s messy or wrong—like missing details, typos, duplicates, or inconsistent formats—that can cause confusion or lead to bad decisions. It’s like trying to follow a recipe with ingredients listed in the wrong order or missing altogether.
