​Data drives learning in Great Falls. We gather and analyze crucial information to create learning plans for our students’. These Customized Learning Plans follow the student beginning in elementary school through their secondary years to graduation.  Before Mileposts, the data lived in different silos, on different servers, and in paper files throughout the district. We had no effective and consistent way to share information, collaborate on student plans or effectively track and analyze the data over time. With Mileposts, we create a student eFile for every child with all their learning information right at our teachers’ fingertips. This empowers our teachers, gives them more time to teach and effectively collaborate to provide the best learning experience for every student. Mileposts is the one stop shop for our school district.”
Ruth Uecker, Assistant Superintendent, K-6, Great Falls Schools, Great Falls, MT
​What a wonderful thing for a superintendent to witness the joy on the faces of professional educators (teachers as well as principals) when they realized they now had one easily-accessible central location to retrieve relevant educational information on students. As I watched the professional development with each group of teachers in our school district (which were conducted by our own in-house graduates of the Mileposts ‘train-the-trainers’ program,) I was amazed at how easy it was for teachers to look at their class lists and to immediately see all the pertinent historical, demographic, and assessment information data on each of their students; to see which kids had IEP plans; to see which kids were in Title 1 Programs; to see which kids had 504 plans and/or were involved in the district's Student Assistance Team (SAT) process; to see which kids had Response to Intervention accommodations (Tier I through Tier III) and to see which children were economically disadvantaged and who may need just a little extra support from their teacher to realize their vast academic potential.  In my twenty-five years as a school superintendent, I have never seen a program that can do what the Mileposts program can do.”
Dr. Douglas Reisig, Superintendent, Hellgate Elementary District, Missoula, MT
​Mileposts collects vital information about student growth throughout the school year to help teachers and PLC teams guide educational programming for individual students; this is a crucial component of our school improvement process which is to ensure academic success for all students. With Silverback’s longitudinal learning platform we get a comprehensive resource that shows levels of mastery for each of our students, what worked or didn’t work in reference to previous instructional strategies, as well as comprehensive plans and intervention templates. We now have a resource that can be used to improve instructional techniques and interventions to enhance academic growth in all students attending Converse County School District.”
“We now have a resource that can be used to improve instructional techniques and interventions to enhance academic growth for all students attending Converse County School District #1.”
John Weigel - Converse County School District #1 Curriculum Director
​We have a refugee center in our community and there are over 25 languages spoken in the school district. With Mileposts we can keep track of these students, these refugees that need us the most. We use Interventions to make sure we don’t lose a single kid and we track them, monitor them, and make sure they integrate well into our schools.”
