Demographics are stored and displayed in eduCLIMBER. Additional demographics added can display on the Student Profile and on Data walls. They can also be used to filter data on the district/grade/class tabs, Program Evaluation, Thresholds, and Incidents. While additional demographic data are typically added to the Student Information System (SIS), many are not automated with the sync from the SIS to eduCLIMBER. Therefore, districts can choose to add any additional demographic data to eduCLIMBER via automated upload, manual upload, or custom creation within the system.

Academic and screener data added to eduCLIMBER is visualized within charts and data walls. The data displayed is colored based on the Peformance Band configured. If no Performance Band is configred, charts display gray in color and data walls display with no color. Performance Bands are a group of bands used to determine mastery or proficiency in an assessment. They are a quick way to indicate what range a score fell by applying a color to the score. Performance Bands can be created to answer a variety of questions. Therefore, a Performance Band can be configured for different data sets for any given assessment and any cut scores can be used to define the ranges displayed within the band. This course provides users with an understanding of how to navigate existing performance bands as well as how to create and edit them.
The Create and Manage Performance Bands course (36 min) contains the following modules:
