Our Data Journey

Welcome to Louis Riel School Division's Data Journey. We created these web pages to share interactive and updated data visualizations of learning in grades K-12 in the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD), as communicated in the Manitoba Report Card.  We built the interactive data visualizations using a Microsoft product called Power BI. The "BI" stands for Business Intelligence.

What is "Our Data Journey"?

From this page, we will share current and historic report card data using interactive data visualizations to help tell the stories of learning in LRSD.

The community will also have access to a grades K-8 and a grades 9-12 data discovery dashboard, allowing users to explore final grades in core subjects from the Manitoba Report Card by interacting with a series of data visualizations.

Life-Changing Technology

Why Power BI?

Power BI is a product that allows us to connect multiple data sources in real-time and easily create datasets, data models, and multiple AI-assisted visualizations of the data. It also allows us to publish and share data reports and dashboards, like the two we share with the community. The reports and dashboards allow staff to better understand the data we collect, leading to better decision-making. Our goal is to empower evidence-informed decision-making in classrooms, schools, and all areas of the organization.

Grades K-8 Data Discovery Dashboard (Click here to open.)

The data you see when you open this Data Discovery Dashboard is based on students' final grades from the Manitoba Report Card. In K-8, students are assessed on a scale of 1 to 4.  The 1 to 4 scale also parallels the percentage grades used for assessment in grades 7 to 12.

• Does not yet demonstrate the required understanding and application of concepts and skills (less than 50%)

1. Limited understanding and application of concepts and skills (50% to 59%)
2. Basic understanding and application of concepts and skills (60% to 69%)
3. Good understanding and application of concepts and skills (70% to 79%)
4. Very good to excellent understanding and application of concepts and skills (80% to 100%)
