Leadership Dashboard
An executive view of school improvement at a glance. The dashboard rolls up the six improvement domains into one operating picture β the School Health Index, strategic-goal progress, key outcomes, initiative momentum, performance trends, priorities, and risks β so leaders can see, decide, and act in the same place.
All figures below are illustrative sample data for portfolio demonstration β not from any real school.

Risk indicators
Select a risk to view its mitigation plan.
Signal: operational performance at 64% and trending down; resource-to-priority alignment lagging.
Mitigation: re-sequence the budget around the top three priorities, add an operations sprint to the PDSA cycle, and report alignment monthly to the leadership team.
Signal: intervention rollout at 74%; subgroup proficiency improving but below target.
Mitigation: protect intervention time, coach for fidelity, and review progress-monitoring data every two weeks.
Signal: engagement initiative at 58%; participation uneven across the community.
Mitigation: diversify channels and times, gather family feedback, and set a quarterly participation target with the community liaison.
Signal: six active initiatives; capacity stretched but holding.
Mitigation: hold the line on new commitments, finish high-progress initiatives first, and embed them before scaling the next.

The School Health Index is a leading-and-lagging composite designed to be reviewed each PDSA cycle β not a one-time grade. Read alongside the strategic priorities and risk indicators, it turns the dashboard into a decision tool: see the trend, study the cause, act, and re-measure next quarter. All data shown is illustrative.
