Which groups of students have shown an increase or decrease in certain interactions?

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.

Being able to see which groups of students have increased or decreased the number of certain interactions over a given time period can help you see patterns in classroom-wide behavior across the school. For example, if you are trying to focus on the Core Value of Kindness one quarter, you can see which classrooms increased the amount of times Kindness was recorded.

To find this information, navigate to the students table by clicking Students 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 the students you need selected. When you first log in to Kickboard Analysis, the student selection will be filtered to include all students. If you want to include specific students, click the arrow next to students and choose the appropriate grades, groups, or students. 

Now let's narrow the data down to the particular behavior that you are interested in. In the filter panel to the right, click on the arrow next to the Interactions filter to expand your list of interaction categories.

Click on the check box next to the word Interactions to deselect all interaction categories.

Find the appropriate category and click on the arrow to expand it, then click the checkbox to select the specific behavior you are interested in.

Lastly, you must click the Apply Filters button to update the data in the table to reflect your updated selections.

Next, click the graph icon to bring you to the graph visualization of the data.

You will see a graph that includes data points for each day in the selected date range and a line representing the positivity ratio for all of your groups. You want to view the number of interactions, so change the Metric dropdown to Interactions. Changing the Unit to Weeks will create a point on the graph for every week included in the selected time period. Changing the Unit to Month will create a point on the graph for every month included in the selected time period.

Hover over any of the points on the graph to find the exact number of interactions for the group on the corresponding day or week.

If you hover your mouse over one of the groups listed under the graph, it will highlight that line in the graph.
