How have the positivity ratios of my teachers changed over time?

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

You have been encouraging your teachers to create a positive school culture and you want to see if their ratios of positive to negative interactions is improving over time.

To see changes in the positivity ratios among your teachers, access the Staff tab by clicking Staff on the top left 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 click on any two dates to select a range. Once the start and end dates are selected, click anywhere outside the dropdown to apply the date range filter.

Double check that you have all students, staff, and interactions selected. When you first log in to Kickboard Answers, the student selection will be filtered to only your default group. If you want to include all students, staff, and interactions, start by clicking Advanced Filters. Then click Check All for each dropdown to select all the available Interactions, Students, and Staff.

Now that all your filters are set, you will see the overall positivity ratio for each teacher listed in the Positivity column. To view how this ratio has changed over time, click on the graph icon in the center of the page below the filters.

You will see a graph that includes data points for each day in the selected date range and a line representing the average positivity ratio for all of your teachers. You can adjust how the data is displayed by using the other options on the top right:

• Teams- Uncheck the Teams box to hide the summative line for “All Staff”
• Staff- Check the Staff box to show lines for each individual staff member
• Unit- To see fewer data points for longer date ranges, change from Days to either Weeks or Months

If you hover your mouse over a point on the graph, a pop up will appear describing that data point.

If you hover your mouse over one of the staff members listed under the graph, it will highlight that teacher’s line in the graph.

Want to filter this down to see only certain teachers? Use the Include dropdown to filter down certain staff members. Click Uncheck All and Show Staff, then check off only the teachers you want to include.
