Unlocking the potential of data for educators.

OnTrackCA

Envisioned by Elk Grove Unified School DistrictPowered by School Loop 5.0

WelcomeGreg Lindner, Director of Technology Services at Elk Grove Unified School District had a vision that all schools in California could share a system to improve graduation rates and decrease dropouts. It had to make effective use of data. It had to be easy to use. And it had to be free.

With partners School Loop and CSIS, and with funding from an ARRA EETT Competitive grant, that dream is about to become a reality.

OnTrackCA aligns objectives, data, strategy and action, helping schools solve hard problems.

OnTrackCA launches easily: Each week, educators get an email noting who needs support, strategies to consider, and ways to help.

OnTrackCA saves time, makes systems more effective, and ensures that the right students get the right supports at the right time.

What it does

People assign objectives, establish indicators to measure progress, and align support strategies to guide intervention.

Educators use this information to intervene.

Intervention generates results, redirecting objectives ina cycle of continuous improvement.

Why it works

“Improve grad rates! Raise test scores!”

“The data shows we must improve in Math, English, Attendance and behavior”

We must improve attendance!

“Attendance? My job is to teach math!”
