At #ISTELive22, Sam Sale showed THE Journal readers how the educator dashboard of two PowerSchool K–12 software solutions bring together multiple sources of data to simplify real-time interventions and lesson decision-making for teachers and administrators: Unified Insights with MTSS and Unified Classroom Curriculum and Instruction.

MTSS-based Unified Insights brings all data together to see for example reading success, attendance, intervention notes, meeting completion, educator observation notes, and much more.

Unified Classroom Curriculum and Instruction brings curriculum, lesson planning, framework, scope and sequence together in one location, saving time for teachers as they create and select lessons that match their district standards; for administrators, the platform provides vertical and horizontal alignment and makes teachers’ lessons easy to save and share with colleagues.

PowerSchool offers cloud-based solutions to help K–12 schools and districts efficiently manage state reporting and related compliance, special education, finance, human resources, talent, enrollment, attendance, funding, learning, instruction, grading, assessments, and analytics — all in one unified platform.
