What separates higher-achieving students

The class tiers form a clean behavioral gradient: every major engagement measure rises from Low to Medium to High, and the biggest step-changes appear in self-directed learning behaviors rather than discussion alone.

  • Attendance stands out most sharply: students in the High tier are overwhelmingly in the under-7-absences group, while the Low tier is dominated by above-7 absences.
  • Resource visits and raised hands are the clearest engagement differentiators, with announcement views also showing a strong middle-to-top uplift.
  • Discussion activity still trends upward, but it is the weakest discriminator, which suggests that broad participation without attendance and follow-through is less predictive.
How to read this dashboard

The charts combine two lenses: practical gap size from Low to High tiers and model-based separation from the regression coefficients comparing the extremes.

Gradient across Low → Medium → High Low vs High ranking Attendance split from raw data Common favorable-score scale
Engagement behaviors climb steadily across achievement tiers
Each trace shows the mean value for one classroom behavior; the middle band sits between low and high on every factor.
Largest practical gaps from Low to High performance
Attendance is shown as the share of students with under-7 absences so every factor reads in a favorable direction.
Regression ranking of extreme-tier discriminators
Positive coefficients align with stronger high-performance behaviors; the negative coefficient indicates a high-absence pattern that pulls students toward the Low tier.
Favorable-score heatmap across the tier ladder
Values are normalized within each factor so the color intensity shows how completely each behavior shifts from Low to High.
Absence profile changes dramatically by achievement tier
The low-performing group is mostly above 7 absences, while the high-performing group is almost entirely in the under-7 band.
Tier profiles separate in a participation vs. self-directed learning map
Bubble size reflects attendance consistency, creating a compact view of how classroom participation, independent engagement, and attendance move together.
