NHA is a charter school management company currently operating over 70 schools in 9 states.

NHA's team has heavily leveraged Tableau's new JavaScript API to embed Tableau into a new school leadership portal.  This portal allows principals and deans to interact with Tableau data visualizations that pull from a variety of source systems, as well as access important documents and enter information which they then can see visualized.  Areas that are covered include Academics, Behavior, Enrollment, Attendance, and Teacher skill improvement.

This session will focus on how NHA has used the API, and will also show some cool Tableau tips/tricks that they've used to create unique and helpful views.
