At this year\u2019s ISTE conference in Philadelphia, we proudly featured several of our partners in the Microsoft Education booth. These are organizations that share our mission of working to empower every student on the planet to achieve more. Throughout the summer and into the fall, we\u2019ll be highlighting some of those collaborations here<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Santa Clara County Office of Education has partnered with Hoonuit, a data management and analytics solution, over the past few years to successfully increase graduation and AP course-taking rates and decrease inequitable disciplinary procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchools simply can\u2019t tackle the hard work of creating a more just and equitable education system without good data,\u201d says Marcy Lauck, director of data governance for the county office of education.<\/p>\n

Hoonuit\u2019s data solutions are delivered through the Cloud with Microsoft Azure, and Hoonuit embeds Microsoft Power BI within the platform to help with ad hoc reporting needs. \u201cWe\u2019re better together,\u201d Shayne Kendall, Education Solutions Engineer for Hoonuit, said describing the Microsoft-Hoonuit partnership, announced last year.<\/p>\n

Kendall was previously the director of information systems for schools for Albuquerque Public Schools, where he used Hoonuit to drive improvements by creating a more organized, comprehensive and user-friendly way of collecting, organizing and analyzing key data. \u201cMost districts are very data rich yet information poor, and this helps them translate their data into actionable information,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Hoonuit also embeds professional development experiences into the solution. So, for example, if you\u2019re analyzing attendance data through Hoonuit, there will be professional-learning opportunities related to attendance embedded right into the dashboards.<\/p>\n

In Kentucky\u2019s Fayette County Public Schools, all district employees have at least some of their data in Hoonuit. Access is limited based on each staff member\u2019s role, but everyone is given a stake in ensuring the district delivers the best educational experience possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t gain efficiencies or gain effectiveness if you have no visibility into what works, no ability to determine why it works, and no way of sharing that information\u2014that story\u2014in a way that helps your staff and community really understand what it is you\u2019re spending their resources on,\u201d says Billy Buchanan, who oversees data and accountability for the district.<\/p>\n

Hoonuit\u2019s innovation and expertise contribute to the strength of the Microsoft partnership community and drive student-centered learning and student-centered decision making in schools.
