Edwin Analytics

Edwin FAQ

A. General

A1. What is Edwin Analytics?

Edwin Analytics, or Edwin, provides authorized users access to student data as well as information for and about educators that support planning and decision-making in classrooms, schools, and districts.

Edwin integrates data sources to give educators a richer, more comprehensive view of student trends, performance, and outcomes. The resulting reports, dashboards and analytical tools can provide educators statewide — from superintendents to teachers — with information and knowledge to make important decisions that continually improve teaching and learning across the state.

Using Edwin Analytics, classroom teachers, principals, professional support personnel, and district leaders will be able to access a wide range of data, including attendance, course enrollment, and student's growing acquisition of new knowledge, skills and abilities, to postsecondary enrollment, persistence and completion. Student, teacher, and course data coming in through the SIF exchange (Schools Interoperability Framework), as well as historical data including state assessment data, will give educators new actionable information and tools to serve their current students and grow as professionals.

A2. What does 'Edwin' stand for?

Edwin is not an acronym. The name Edwin conveys ESE's goals of providing accessible tools to help educators and students "win."

A3. Why does Edwin look different than the last time I logged on?

The Education Security Portal has been updated and the Edwin application has had to undergo some changes as a result. This new version looks and operates slightly differently. Some of the changes, especially in selecting prompts and running reports, as well as how to download data, are important to review to assist you in using Edwin.
