Empowering Educators for a Successful School Year Ahead

As the summer wanes and the school year begins anew, educators are gearing up to guide their students on a fresh path to success. New Visions understands the critical role educators play in shaping the futures of students, and that’s why we’ve been hard at work fine-tuning the Portal – a student data management tool designed to assist educators in planning and guiding students toward their individualized needs and achievements.

The exciting news? New updates have arrived that make it easier than ever to help educators improve student outcomes.

Listening to Feedback and Evolving For Educators

The focus of the Portal remains unwavering – to empower educators in establishing, reflecting upon, and consistently improving key student planning tasks to ensure the success of every student. Let’s take a closer look at the exciting new features that have been introduced:

Easy Access to Key Portal Features

We’ve updated navigation to make top features like the Data Grid and Attendance easier to find – and added one-click access to new experiences for managing Credit Gaps, Graduation Planning, and Regents Planning!

 

We’ve added a “Postsecondary” section to make it easier to enter key college and career readiness experiences for high school students.

Looking for “Wizards”? Not to worry! You can still find them in the “Other Tools” section.

Quick Actions on Key Student Metrics

We built new sections, which make it easy for you to see key school metrics front and center.

We created a way for you to manage your school’s credit requirements and graduation planning metrics directly in the Credits and Graduation sections, and quickly identify students who have gaps to fill.

 

Post-Secondary Efficiency

We’ve created a new “Experiences” section on each Student Profile that allows you to add Post-Secondary experiences for every high school student.

We made sure that the information you enter into the Portal transfers directly and accurately into STARS so you don’t have to enter information twice!

Professional Learning Opportunities
Whether you’re a current Portal user or an interested user, you can attend our free trainings designed to equip educators with the skills and knowledge needed to harness the full potential of the Portal.
