Termly goal predictions project whether a student is on track to complete their termly PACE-count goal in a subject, based on how many PACEs they have finished and how much of the term is left. Administrators and supervisors use this to find students who need intervention before the term ends. Parents and students see the same projection on their own My Progress view.

​
Where to find it

Open Analytics from the sidebar, then select the Predictions card. This lands on the predictions dashboard with org-wide data across all learning centres.

​
How a projection is calculated

Zion computes one projection per student per subject, using PACEs completed so far and the pace at which the student is completing them.
1

Velocity

Velocity is the student’s PACEs completed divided by the number of weeks elapsed in the term so far. Weeks elapsed is floored at 1, so a projection can be produced even in the first days of a term.
2

Projected total

The projected end-of-term PACE count is the PACEs already completed plus velocity multiplied by the weeks remaining in the term. Weeks remaining is floored at 0.
3

Status

The projected total is compared against the student’s termly PACE target for that subject to assign a status of on track, at risk, or off track.

​
Status thresholds

For a student with zero PACEs completed so far, Zion classifies status by how far into the term the class is, since there is no completion velocity yet to project from:
These thresholds are the same for every student and subject. Zion does not let staff adjust them from the dashboard.

​
Reading the dashboard

Predictions dashboard showing on track, at risk, and off track student status

The predictions dashboard with a status donut chart and searchable, filterable student cards.

The predictions dashboard opens with a donut chart summarizing how many students fall into each status: on track, at risk, and off track. Below it, student cards are searchable by name and filterable by centre, status, and subject. The centre filter only appears when your scope includes more than one centre. Clicking a student card opens a detail panel for that student and subject, showing the underlying PACE counts and target used in the projection.

​
Exporting at-risk students

1

Filter if needed

Narrow the dashboard by centre or subject first if you only want a subset.
2

Export

Select Export At-Risk Students to download a CSV listing every student and subject currently classified as at risk or off track.
This export is available to administrators and supervisors. A supervisor’s export is limited to their assigned centre or centres.

​
Same numbers in My Progress

Predictions on the admin and supervisor dashboards, and the termly-goal projection shown to a parent or student in My Progress, are computed by the same underlying calculation. A parent viewing their child’s projection sees the identical status and projected PACE count that an administrator would see for that student, not a separate estimate. Parents and students only see their own child’s or their own record. Neither view offers editing, export, or cross-student visibility.
