Innovation with Salesforce Education Cloud

Middle school is a key transition point in a student’s educational career, where they face new rules, expectations, and people.

To build meaningful student engagement and ensure that every student has access to the best education regardless of circumstance, Salesforce Education Cloud for K-12 was born.

With the Education Cloud innovations for K-12, schools can now support educators, students, parents, and school districts.

The Student Success Hub is here to make the leap from Kindergarten to Elementary to Middle to High school as smoothly as possible.

Salesforce Education Cloud Powered K-12 Schools

In anticipation of School closures during one of the worst snow storms in history, this middle school in Anchorage, Alaska, had to assess what it would need to do to maintain continuity of learning. At the same time, students and educators were stuck at home.

The challenge was that lesson plans and timetables would have to be adjusted for an online environment, and educators would need to integrate new tools into their delivery of teaching.

Most importantly, students would have to adapt to a whole new school day, and the educators had to make sure they had the opportunity to succeed personally and academically.

To get ahead, the School had to meet its student’s needs by extending its technology to enable its staff to efficiently deliver the best possible services. 

Thus, addressing online learning issues took on heightened importance for the principal and educators in this Middle School.

The Elementary School needed to provide new and existing parents with an automated admissions process making it easier for parents to apply online.

It was also essential for the Admissions Manager to find a way to move forward with reliable, real-time data that could be easily updated and shared directly in Salesforce.

Drag-and-Drop Experiences in Salesforce Education Cloud

The Education Cloud provides the School with a 360-degree view of each student – in other words, all interactions with a student are captured so that educators and parents can track and monitor student progress.

To achieve these goals, the Middle School enlisted Titan, who offered solutions that work seamlessly with Education Cloud. to plan and implement their Student Success Hub.

With our drag-and-drop conditional logic in Titan, the admissions team can identify new or returning students and customize their admissions and enrollment process. They can create and update Salesforce records with pre-filled data in a flash.

Parents can submit applications quickly, which helps the admissions team confirm a student’s placement much faster. Once a parent submits their application, the data is instantly sent to one of the admissions officers’ emails. From there, the admissions officer can download and process it.

This digital transformation increased engagement between educators and students by:

facilitating easy communication between students and educators.

allowing educators to spend less time on manual processes and more time interacting online with students.

the Student Success Hub offers support and resources in one easy, central place.

Because student data is centralized into one system, Salesforce reports and dashboards can be used to view students’ test and assignment marks.

Since Education Cloud is student, teacher, and family-centric, Salesforce is always endeavoring to enhance its features and to offer schools new innovations to provide excellent student support, automate processes, and boost faculty productivity.

Let us take a look at two cool features that are to be perfected and released in 2023:

• Data Mover: Easily bring external data into the Education Data Architecture (EDA) and Student Success Hub with ready-to-use importing, custom mapping, and duplication prevention logic.
• Guidance Center: Admins get onboarding support with step-by-step instructions and resources to set up Student Success Hub quickly and easily.
