DataDirector

A Data Solution Built By Educators, For Educators

DataDirector is an innovative online data management solution that puts a fast, powerful decision-support system at your fingertips. Designed to help educators meet the needs of every student and improve student performance, DataDirector helps make sense of a huge range of data to provide longitudinal tracking and reporting of student assessment data, student demographic data, and program/event attendance, as well as professional development activities, paraprofessional activities, student grades and teacher data.

DataDirector was built by educators, for educators and distinguishes itself from simpler assessment solutions by allowing users to combine and utilize data from multiple sources and formats, and then compare and refine those data sets to help answer complex questions like, "Who are my highly qualified teachers and are they teaching my lowest-performing students?"

Make Sense of Complex Data

DataDirector's powerful tools provide insight into every student. With test scores as the starting point, not the endpoint, DataDirector integrates data from many sources, including:

• Assessments such as state tests
• Demographic information and grades
• District or system administered tests
• Daily classroom assessments given by teachers

Build a Culture of Data-Driven Decision Making

At the district, system, school and classroom level, educators can analyze and create custom reports on:

• Patterns and needs
• Enrichment programs and interventions
• Areas for further professional development

System Requirements

DataDirector is a web-based, cross-platform application (Windows and Macintosh) and supports most modern browsers. DataDirector will function with all network speeds – including dial-up. Of course, as with any web-based application, the faster the connection to the Internet, the faster the response time.

Riverside Publishing provides hosting for DataDirector through an application service provider (ASP) model that allows users to access the system from any computer with Internet access. DataDirector uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to ensure the security of customer data.

DataDirector is fully compatible with data from SASI, Aeries, PowerSchools and all other SIS.
