Perfection Next® Reports Guide
Data-Driven Instruction with Perfection Next® Reporting
Reports Overview
Educators need to know how students are progressing and how they can best
support them. Using data can help accomplish this, and having reliable data
provided in real-time is critical to making important instructional decisions.

instruction. Recognizing student performance, monitoring progress toward
academic goals, and identifying areas for improvement closes gaps and
increases student achievement.
