Wondering how your peers are utilizing the Insight to Impact Dashboards? Wait no further! The 2025 Insight to Impact Kickoff Survey results are in, so you can take a behind-the-scenes look at how your EPP peers are making the most of the I2I Dashboards.
Power Users
If you picture a room of EPP professionals who completed this survey, 88 percent were users, with the demographic being split pretty evenly between faculty and certification officers/technical staff. However, even principals, counselors, and librarians are finding value in the dashboards. While faculty had a slight advantage in terms of the number of users, how everyone utilized the dashboards differed.
While some check in quarterly, monthly, or once a year, only a few haven’t started yet. This mix shows that while access is nearly universal, everyone’s dashboard journey is unique.
Trending Dashboard Data
Exam Pass Rates is the marquee dashboard at the moment, with most respondents not only completing this protocol but also ranking it as the most important metric. Initial employment data was a close second.
Student Growth and Perception Surveys are gaining some traction, while Clinical Experience was often ranked as the lowest.
A Call to Protocol
Here’s a slightly surprising nugget of data that was uncovered. Of those surveyed, 63 percent haven’t completed a protocol yet. That sounds like a training opportunity waiting to happen, but more on that later.
Wins and Opportunities
Some candid feedback from peers about their experiences included:
Wins: Many say the dashboards have made data more accessible and filled gaps, especially regarding employment data. For some, it’s the first time they’ve had this kind of information at their fingertips, making program development and decision-making easier than ever.
Opportunities: There was an appeal for TEA to help with information overload, data timeliness, and navigation challenges. Several users would like clearer explanations about how data is pulled and updated, which the I2I Dashboards Team has heard loud and clear.
A Data Success Story
One faculty member shared that their team struggled to access reliable employment data for program graduates before the I2I Dashboards. With the dashboards, they were able to quickly find and use this information to identify programmatic trends and gaps. This new visibility empowered their team to make targeted improvements to their program, ultimately supporting better outcomes for future candidates. The dashboards didn’t just provide numbers, but they also sparked meaningful conversations and tangible change.
Takeaways
One takeaway that EPPs considered helpful was setting up a data review routine, whether it’s quarterly or monthly, but definitely making dashboard reviews a regular part of your workflow.
Another takeaway was that some EPPs took the opportunity to celebrate their progress. Even small wins, like finding a new data point or completing a protocol, helped build momentum for their teams. In fact, if you have a win to announce, feel free to contact Communications Specialist Stefan Swiat to potentially have your story told in the EPP Newsletter.
The last takeaway, and maybe the most important, was asking for help. Communication and feedback help inform future improvements and training from the I2I Dashboards Team.
So, whether it’s attending a TEA training, learning tips from the EPP Newsletter, or emailing the Help Desk, reaching out to a Data Governance Committee member, opportunities are available for those who need clarification or are stuck.
