Goal Check Reports
Comprehensive guide to generating, interpreting, and using Zion’s automated Goal Check reports. Transform daily data into actionable intelligence in under 30 seconds.Reports Overview
Two Report Types:- Daily Centre Reports - Single centre, single day performance
- Weekly School Reports - Whole school, full week performance
- 2-3 hours of manual compilation per day
- Error-prone calculations
- Limited insights
- Difficult to identify patterns
- Less than 30 seconds to generate
- 100% accurate automated calculations
- Rich insights with variance analysis
- Automatic at-risk student identification
Daily Centre Reports
Purpose and Use Cases
Purpose: Document single centre’s performance for a specific day with student-by-student detail. Use Cases:- End-of-day supervisor review
- Share performance with administrator
- Document centre achievement
- Identify students needing intervention
- Evidence for parent meetings
- Compliance documentation
- Supervisors (for their assigned centres)
- Administrators (for any centre)
- Can only generate when ALL students in centre are marked
- Typically generated at end of day after progress marking complete
Prerequisites for Generation
Before You Can Generate:
Readiness Indicator:
- “Ready (25/25 students marked)” - Generate now!
- “Pending (22/25 students marked)” - 3 more students need marking
- “Incomplete (0/25 students marked)” - Haven’t started marking yet

Interpreting Daily Centre Reports
Completion Rate Targets:- 85%+ = Excellent - Goals well-calibrated, students succeeding
- 75-84% = Good - Most students meeting goals
- 60-74% = Fair - Goals may be too ambitious
- <60% = Poor - Significant issue, review goal difficulty
- Most students exceeded goals
- May indicate goals too low
- Consider increasing goals tomorrow
- Most students missed goals
- May indicate goals too high or difficult day
- Consider lowering goals tomorrow
- Some students over, some under
- Normal and expected pattern
- Goals appropriately challenging
- All students struggling in one subject (e.g., Math)
- Indicates PACE difficulty or topic complexity
- Plan group review or lower goals for that subject

Interpreting Weekly School Reports
School-Wide Completion Rate:- 80%+ = Excellent - School performing well
- 70-79% = Good - Most students succeeding
- 60-69% = Fair - Review goal-setting strategies
- <60% = Needs Attention - Significant interventions required
- Lower completion Monday, improves Tue-Thu
- Normal pattern (post-weekend adjustment)
- No action needed
- Lower completion Friday
- Normal pattern (end-week fatigue)
- Consider lower Friday goals
- Drop on Wednesday
- Investigate: Was there disruption? Event? Holiday preparation?
- Similar completion Mon-Fri
- Ideal pattern
- Goals well-calibrated
- Completion rate 85%+
- Positive variance
- Learn from their strategies:
- How do they set goals?
- How do they support students?
- What’s their approach?
- Completion rate <70%
- Negative variance
- Provide support:
- Review goal-setting with supervisor
- Offer additional training
- Assess centre-specific challenges
- Example: Math 65% vs English 85%
- Not a centre-specific issue, school-wide
- Action: Review Math PACE difficulty, plan professional development, lower Math goals
- Example: English 90% consistently
- Goals may be too low for English
- Action: Consider increasing English goals slightly

Using Reports for Strategic Decisions
Goal Adjustment
When Reports Indicate:- Centre completion <70% for 2+ weeks consistently
- Negative variance school-wide
- Multiple students at-risk
- Lower goal page counts
- Review goal-setting with supervisors
- Provide goal templates based on grade
Curriculum Planning
When Reports Indicate:- Specific subject struggling school-wide (e.g., Math 65%)
- All centres struggle with same PACE
- Plan professional development on subject
- Review PACE curriculum for difficulty
- Consider group review sessions for difficult topics
Staffing and Support
When Reports Indicate:- One centre consistently underperforming
- One supervisor’s centres all struggling
- Provide additional training to supervisor
- Assign mentor supervisor
- Assess centre-specific challenges (resources, student mix, etc.)
Student Interventions
When Reports Indicate:- Specific students at-risk (3+ consecutive misses)
- Students with severe declining trends
- One-on-one tutoring
- Parent meetings
- Learning assessment
- Adjust PACE assignments or goals
Troubleshooting Reports
”Cannot Generate Report - Data Incomplete”
Cause:- Not all students in centre have progress marked
- Or week has missing days (holidays, weekends)
- Check readiness indicator
- Mark progress for remaining students
- If day was holiday/no school, that’s normal - generate for available days
”Report Generation Failed”
Causes:- Server error (rare)
- Too much data (300+ students)
- Internet connection lost
- Wait 30 seconds and try again
- Contact support if repeated failures
- Check internet connection
”Report Shows Incorrect Data”
Common Causes:- Viewing wrong date/week
- Data entry errors (typos in progress marking)
- Centre assignment changed mid-week
- Confirm date range at top of report
- Spot-check few students’ data against actual PACEs
- Review audit log if available
”Report Download Not Working”
Causes:- Browser pop-up blocker
- Browser download settings
- No PDF viewer installed
- Allow pop-ups for Zion domain
- Check browser downloads folder
- Install PDF viewer (Adobe Reader, Preview, etc.)
