Which teachers may need more support?

To access Kickboard Analysis as a School or Kickboard Admin, navigate to Culture > KB Next (beta). If you are designated as a Teacher on Kickboard, follow these instructions.

Kickboard Analysis reveals important information about staff members’ overall usage through two indicators: Interactions and Positivity. These two metrics will help you determine which teachers may need more support.

To see these indicators, access the staff table by clicking Staff in the filter panel on the right side of the screen.

Next, adjust the time period for which you want to analyze the data. Click on the Time Period dropdown in the top right, then either select a preset time range or choose a custom range. 

Double-check that you have all students, staff, and interactions selected. To select specific students, staff, or behaviors, simply click the arrow next to the section you'd like to expand and select which options you'd like to include in your data. Once you have selected your desired students, staff and interactions, click Apply Filters.

Now that your filters are all set, you can begin reviewing the data for your teachers. Above the list of individual staff member data, you will see per staff averages for each indicator.

Interactions

The Interactions column tells you the number of interactions each teacher has recorded.  The term "interactions" refers to both behaviors and consequences. The number is “0” tells you that the teacher hasn’t recorded any behaviors for the given date range. If the teacher has recorded significantly fewer than the average, the teacher may need more support.

Positivity

The Positivity column indicates the positivity ratio of the recorded interactions. We suggest a 3:1 positive to negative behavior ratio. If a teacher has a positivity ratio less than 75%, they might need more support recognizing students for making good choices.
