The Curriculum Tracker tab shows how often each lesson in your district’s curriculum was launched. It plots launches week by week across a school year. Select any cell to see which educators launched that lesson that week.
Only users with District Admin access can view District Usage Report. If you don’t have District Admin access, please contact QuaverEd’s Sales team for setup assistance.
How to Access the Curriculum Tracker #
- Select the Admin Tools icon on your dashboard.
- Select District Admin to open the District Admin Dashboard.
- Select Usage Reports.
- Select the Curriculum Tracker tab.
The header controls work the same on every tab. They’re described on the Overview page under Report Navigation.
Curriculum Tracker Layout #
The School Year dropdown sits at the top left of the tab. Beside it are the Grade selector and, for districts that publish their own scope and sequence, the Curriculum selector. Both are described below. Under the controls is the heading Curriculum Progress by Week. Its info icon explains how launches are counted. At the top right are the Download Excel and Download CSV buttons.
Under the heading, a short line states the scope shown, for example “All 23 lessons.” It has its own info icon. The heatmap table fills the rest of the tab. The header’s date range display shows the selected school year.
Choosing a School Year #
The School Year dropdown lists the school years available to your district, newest first. A school year runs from July through June.
Choosing a year here changes the shared date selection for the whole report. The Overview and Detailed Report tabs then show that year as their date range. A date range chosen on those tabs shows here as its school year.
Reading the Heatmap #
Each row is one lesson from your district’s scope and sequence, in order. Rows are numbered down the left. The unit name appears before the lesson name. For example, “Beat & Rhythm” then “Beat is in Your Feet.” Rest on a lesson name to see the full unit and lesson title.
Each column is one week, from Wk 1 through Wk 36. Each is labeled with its start date. Each cell shows how many times that lesson was launched that week. Darker green means more launches. An empty cell means none.
A launch is one sitting on a lesson by anyone with a valid district license. Views less than 30 minutes apart count once. One view must last 10 seconds or more. Rows keep their zeros. A lesson filed under several grades shows the same count on each.
The lesson column can be resized. Drag the divider at its right edge. With the divider focused, the arrow keys work too. Double-click the divider to reset it.
Choosing a Grade #
The heatmap shows one grade at a time. Above it, beside the School Year dropdown, a row of buttons labeled Grade lists every grade your curriculum covers. Select a button to change the grade on the heatmap.
The buttons list only the grades your district’s curriculum actually offers, so two districts can see different sets. Use the arrow keys to move between them.
If the grade you had selected isn’t offered, the report shows the nearest available grade instead and tells you so. A banner above the heatmap names both. This can happen when you change school year and your curriculum for the new year covers different grades. Select another grade to change the view.
Choosing a Curriculum #
If your district publishes its own scope and sequence, a Curriculum selector sits beside the Grade buttons with two choices:
- Custom Scope & Sequence: Rows follow the scope and sequence your district publishes to its educators, in your district’s own order.
- Quaver Scope & Sequence: Rows follow the Quaver scope and sequence for the curriculum your district adopted, in order.
Either way the rows are a curriculum in sequence, not a ranking of your most-used lessons, and either way the counting is the same. Only the list of lessons changes.
Districts that haven’t published a scope and sequence don’t see this selector. If one is expected but can’t be found for your district and product, the report shows the Quaver Scope & Sequence view and a banner above the heatmap reads “No custom scope and sequence is available for this district and product yet, so the Quaver Scope & Sequence view is shown instead.”
Viewing Educators for a Cell #
Select any cell with a number to see who launched that lesson that week. A dialog opens titled with the lesson name. Under the title, it shows the week label and how many educators launched the lesson.
Each educator is listed with their number of launches. An educator’s name is a link. Selecting it opens the Detailed Report tab and shows that educator’s daily activity. Select the Close button at the top right to return to the heatmap.
The dialog that opens may be titled Educator # and a number instead of the educator’s name. This happens when that educator isn’t in the Detailed Report’s own ranked list, which covers the top 200 educators for the school and date range selected on that tab. The daily activity shown is still theirs. To see the name, widen the school scope or the date range on the Detailed Report until that educator appears in the list.
Downloading the Tracker #
Select Download Excel or Download CSV at the top right to save the heatmap. Both files reflect the selected product, school year, and curriculum. The two cover different amounts of your curriculum:
- Download Excel: One sheet per grade, named for the grade, covering every grade your curriculum offers. The green shading is preserved.
- Download CSV: One grade only, the grade on the heatmap. The file is named for that grade, so you can save several grades to the same folder.
Both files lay out the same way as the screen. One row per lesson, one column per week, in curriculum order with zeros kept. Both add a Total column at the right, which the screen doesn’t show. A header line names your district, the product, the school year, the grade, and the curriculum, followed by a line stating how launches are counted.
The Excel file takes longer to prepare than most downloads, because it builds every grade. Give it a moment.
**Downloads are turned off in Demo Data mode. Leave Demo Data mode to save a file.**
This page covers the Curriculum Tracker tab. The Overview, Monthly Report, and Curriculum Tracker tabs each have their own page.
