天美网站传媒传媒 AI-powered engagement platform and Advisor for education

From school districts to private businesses to government agencies, leaders need reliable data to achieve their objectives鈥攚hether they鈥檙e conducting climate surveys or implementing their strategic plan.

However, accessing employee and community member insights is challenging. 天美网站传媒传媒's AI-powered engagement platform and Advisor can help with everything from gathering, analyzing, and taking action on large amounts of data to making decisions tailored to your organization鈥檚 needs.

Some key uses include:

  • Amplifying student voice for policy changes
  • Tackling attendance and achievement gaps
  • Understanding group-specific feedback and concerns

5 key insights from Schenectady Schools

As mentioned, Schenectady鈥檚 Deputy Superintendent, Joseph DiCaprio, and Director of K12 School Counseling, Dr. Rebecca DeVries joined our recent webinar.

They use 天美网站传媒传媒 to gather insights from their community and align their people on their strategic initiatives and organizational goals.

Here are 5 ways they鈥檙e using the platform to help their district thrive:

1

Improving strategy

天美网站传媒传媒 optimizes Schenectady's 4-pillar strategic plan: student success, passionate employees, family and community partnerships, and efficient systems, from gathering data on student readiness to improving employee retention and engagement.

Advisor helped amplify student voices in policy discussions, directly influencing difficult policy decisions and allowing the district to make informed and representative choices.

2

Tackling achievement gaps and attendance issues

The district uses surveys to address achievement gaps, particularly related to attendance. Gathering feedback from students and families using QR codes has helped them understand barriers to school attendance as they strive to improve student academic outcomes.
3

Understanding group-specific feedback and concerns

Dr. Devries highlights 天美网站传媒传媒鈥檚 flexibility. Schenectady uses the platform for district-wide input (e.g., safety surveys) and more localized, nuanced feedback (e.g., building-specific concerns). They also survey students to gather meaningful insights, moving beyond basic questions to assess how well the district serves them.
4

Improving efficiency and responsiveness with AI

Dicaprio and Devries agree that Advisor has improved the district鈥檚 workflow, allowing them to act on feedback quickly. According to Devries, this is critical to avoid disengaging stakeholders because when people give input, they expect action in return.

She says, 鈥淲hen you ask people鈥檚 opinion about something, there鈥檚 nothing worse for an organization than not doing something about what you鈥檝e asked them.鈥

She adds, 鈥淭he Advisor component allows us to gain back that time. And we needed the time to do something about what people were telling us. Because people will stop talking to you and answering your questions if you don鈥檛 show them you鈥檙e going to do something about what they鈥檝e told you.鈥

The AI-driven analysis accelerates this process by making data easier to present and act on. AI analysis also speeds up the decision-making processes. Mr. DiCaprio shared an example where they used Advisor to analyze safety survey results within weeks鈥攁 process that traditionally took months. Key insights allowed them to quickly adopt a weapons detection policy.

Both DiCaprio and Devries emphasize how Advisor allows for real-time data analysis, during board meetings. Advisor鈥檚 ability to address unanticipated questions on the spot, enhances leadership鈥檚 credibility and decision-making efficiency.

5

Implementing with ease

Devries shares that Advisor is intuitive and easy to use. This gives participants confidence to ask questions and explore the tool. Advisor is particularly helpful for analyzing professional development feedback and exit surveys. Devries also highlights that Advisor allows users to quickly identify key themes, concerns, or successes, leading to better questions and insights.

Key takeaways

Our Advisor demo and Q&A highlighted the benefits of 天美网站传媒传媒鈥檚 AI-powered engagement platform and Advisor for leaders across many types of organizations.

From tapping into student voice for policy changes and tackling attendance and achievement gaps to understanding your community鈥檚 concerns, 天美网站传媒传媒 is efficient and easy to use.
