Feature Requests

In a meeting with MPS, we were reviewing Mastery Measurement and wanted to see how Wittly might work with Behavioral goals. We put in a prompt for "being respectful" and it provided some really impressive questions/answers. MPS would love to be able to utilize MM for goals outside of Reading and Mathematics. If there was an "Other" option encompass goals that are not reading or math, that would be great!

In a meeting with MPS, they mentioned that as teachers are in the process of writing IEPs, they would love to be able to print the PLOP information in bulk. Right now, it can only be copy/pasted from the Screening tab. If it could be included in the Student Screener Summary report, the teachers would love that.

Gwinnett requests that the scale score targets that appeared underneath the graph on progress monitoring reports before Phase Change was released be reintegrated into the report. This makes it easier for them to see the targets tied to the specific student (even though these are our time of year targets) and helps them understand the difference between moderate and aggressive ROI.

In meeting with KIPP, they had some concerns/requests with regards to reporting for Mastery Measurement. In order to keep scholars and teacher accountable, they would like an easy way to view MM activity. They want to be able to see a total number of students with MM and their consistency. For example, some of the basic information we have on the PM Insights dashboard (number of students and participation)along with completed this week and ROI. We discussed using the MM report for now, but they are taking several minutes to generate depending on length, so not an ideal work around.

In a meeting w/Montgomery, they were looking for a way to view students that have received certificates at a district level. They remembered they used to be able to view badges/certificates within the Individualized Learning/Badges Insights dashboard, but this has been removed since the award system changed over the summer. They are helping out schools when teachers are out/on leave and rather than clicking into each student to see if they have certificates, they would like to see a district view so the can view/print at that level.

Zach Jones from Robeson County NC shared that they have a number of multilingual students with Haitian Creole as their first language. He said it would be helpful to have additional language options beyond Spanish in the platform.

A high school special education teacher from Robeson County NC shared her frustration with the new student view not having a single screen where students could see their overall work for a weekly period of time. See her specific email below. However, for many students, especially our EC students, they have difficulties regulating their own usage and often find that they have hyper focused on one subject and the time they have spent on task in different subjects is extremely disproportionate. The My scores page provided them with a brief snapshot of their weekly progress & minutes. This allowed them to help regulate their own time management by allowing them to see for themselves where they are spending their time. I have been having my students add the minutes together to give themselves an idea of their minutes. However, this is extremely time consuming, especially when the class they are currently in is not a math class. For many of my students, adding their time together takes up a significant amount of their time. It is also not feasible for me to continue running reports multiple times throughout the class in order for students to see their current progress.

In a call with Douglas County, they requested the ability to choose the frequency in which probes are presented to students. For example, their students receiving tier 2 supports only PM once monthly, while tier 3 is bi-weekly. Having to communicate to students to ignore weekly probes until it's time to actually take them could lead to confusion.

In speaking w/Rocketship Schools, we discovered they have a large Vietnamese population in California. It would be helpful to have the ability to change the language of the student module to Vietnamese so that when parents log in at home, they are able to properly translate the information and understand how their child is performing.

A virtual school pilot, GA Connections, has requested a function that groups students performance on the various skills and standards they are working on - to easily find common trends of instructional needs. They would like to use this information to support small groups or drive whole group needs.
