Engaging with stakeholders to gather their input is a critical component in the design and development of new systems;
Overview-
The engagement meetings consist of holding in-person sessions and online demo and survey, all designed to capture feedback from relevant stakeholders.
Meetings were targeted towards a range of end-users, including teachers, principals and district administrators, to provide differentiated feedback to guide the development process
The feedback from actual users is reviewed and prioritized for incorporation
Goals-
The goals for the stakeholder meetings were to ensure that all participants:
Understood the ADE vision

We often hear from districts concerning why they should use StudentGPS and what benefit their teachers will have from using the dashboards. We understand much of the data that is currently available within StudentGPS is available in other places. However, we also heard through the stakeholder engagement sessions that educators across the state were consistent in telling us they wanted 1 system where the could go and get all the information they need. So, instead of spending time trying to locate the data from various systems, educators have everything they need in one simple location. The dashboards use the same login information as teachers already use for the Teacher Access Center, so teachers are already familiar with their logins. Also, since the dashboards are updated nightly, there’s no additional data required to be entered. It’s already available for them

6. Where Does the Information Come From?

7. How much does StudentGPS cost?
There is no cost nor will there ever be a cost for the districts. We have been lucky enough to secure a significant amount of grant funding for the first two phases of development

75. Key Considerations for the Dashboards
ADE is committed to continuous improvement of the dashboards – your feedback is vital to this improvement process.
Relevance of the dashboard metrics depends on the timeliness and accuracy of available data - the majority of which is from eSchoolPlus. Verifying in eSchoolPlus should always be the first step in support.
Some data is not currently available - historical results will accumulate over time as implementation moves forward.
