Where to find it
- Administrator
- Supervisor
- Parent or student
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.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.
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.
Status thresholds
| Projected total vs target | Status |
|---|---|
| Projection meets or exceeds the target | On track |
| Projection is at least 80% of the target | At risk |
| Projection is below 80%, but the student’s progress-to-date is at least 70% of what would be expected at this point in the term | At risk |
| Below both of the above | Off track |
| Term elapsed | Status |
|---|---|
| Less than 25% | On track |
| Less than 50% | At risk |
| 50% or more | Off track |
These thresholds are the same for every student and subject. Zion does not let staff adjust them from the dashboard.
Reading the dashboard
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
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.Insights Overview
