Case Study: New London Community School District saves time and improves instruction with PowerSchool's PowerTeacher Pro

PowerTeacher Pro Saves Time and Improves Instruction at New London Community School District

PowerSchool’s PowerTeacher Pro helped Iowa’s New London Community School District modernize its move to K–12 standards-based grading. The district had built detailed “I Can” standards but struggled to consistently track student mastery, identify who needed interventions, and spent too much time compiling reports from disparate sources.

By piloting PowerTeacher Pro the district gained color-coded standards progress and distribution reports and visual class-level proficiency graphs that map directly to their “I Can” statements. Teachers now drill into skill-by-skill data instantly, target instruction where students struggle, collaborate more effectively, and save significant time previously spent on data collection—freeing up minutes for feedback, stronger interventions, and improved student outcomes.
