Reports & Analytics Guide

Master Zion’s reporting capabilities - from daily centre reports to comprehensive weekly school analytics. This guide covers report generation, interpretation, and strategic use for school improvement.

Reporting Overview

Two Main Report Types: Daily Centre Reports:
  • Scope: Single learning centre, single day
  • Purpose: Document daily Goal Check performance for one centre
  • Generated by: Supervisors or Administrators
  • Frequency: End of each school day when all students marked
Weekly School Reports:
  • Scope: Entire school, full week (Monday-Friday)
  • Purpose: Comprehensive performance analysis across all centres
  • Generated by: Administrators only
  • Frequency: End of each week or as needed

Daily Centre Reports

When to Generate Daily Reports

Readiness Criteria:
  • ALL students in the centre must be marked for that day
  • Readiness indicator shows: “Ready (25/25 students marked)”
  • Typically generated at end of school day (3-4 PM)
Best Practice Timing:
  • End of each school day: Generate for that day
  • Next morning: Review yesterday’s report for patterns
  • Weekly: Review all 5 daily reports together for trends

Interpreting Daily Centre Reports

Healthy Centre Indicators:
  • Completion rate 80-90%
  • Most students in “Completed” status
  • Low variance spread (most students within ±2 pages)
  • Few or no at-risk students
Concerning Patterns:
  • ⚠️ Completion rate 50-70%
  • ⚠️ Many students missed goals
  • ⚠️ Wide variance (some +5, others -5)
  • ⚠️ Growing at-risk list
Critical Issues:
  • 🚨 Completion rate <50%
  • 🚨 Majority missed goals
  • 🚨 Consistent negative variance
  • 🚨 Multiple students with 3+ consecutive misses

Using Daily Centre Reports

Daily Review (Supervisor):
  1. Generate report at end of day
  2. Scan completion rate (goal: >80%)
  3. Note students who missed goals
  4. Review notes column for patterns
  5. Plan tomorrow’s goals based on today’s actual completion
Weekly Review (Supervisor + Administrator):
  1. Compile all 5 daily reports (Mon-Fri)
  2. Compare completion rates across week
  3. Identify students struggling consistently
  4. Note which days of week are hardest
  5. Plan interventions for struggling students
Monthly Archive:
  • Save all daily reports as PDFs
  • Create folder structure: Year/Month/Centre
  • Useful for ACE reviews, parent conferences, historical reference

Troubleshooting

”Report Won’t Generate”

Daily Centre Report:
  • Check: All students marked? Readiness indicator shows “Ready”?
  • Solution: Mark all students, refresh page, try again
Weekly School Report:
  • Check: Week range within active term? At least 3 days of data?
  • Solution: Adjust date range, verify active term, ensure data exists

”Report Data Looks Wrong”

Possible Causes:
  • Wrong term selected
  • Wrong date range
  • Data entry errors (goals/actuals entered incorrectly)
Solutions:
  • Verify term and dates
  • Check source data (Goal Check entries)
  • Regenerate report after corrections

”Report Generation Takes Forever”

Causes:
  • Large school (300+ students)
  • Slow internet connection
  • Server load
Solutions:
  • Be patient (can take up to 2 minutes for very large schools)
  • Try during off-peak hours
  • Close other browser tabs
