Understanding Your Dashboard
Your dashboard is your home base in myPDI, giving you a quick overview of your progress and recent activity.
PDI Dashboard Overview
As a PDI, your dashboard is designed to help you understand where you are in your training journey and what to focus on next.
Metric Boxes
At the top of your dashboard, you'll see three key metrics:
- Learners - The number of learner drivers you've added to the system
- Latest Score - Your total score from your most recent trainer observation (out of 51)
- My Logs - The number of reflective logs you've created
Quick Actions
Below the metrics, you'll find quick action buttons:
- New Log - Create a new reflective log
- All Logs - View all your logs
- Book Lesson - Schedule a new lesson
Score Trend
If you have two or more trainer observations, you'll see a score trend graph. This shows how your total observation scores have changed over time.
An upward trend indicates improvement. Don't worry about small dips - focus on the overall direction. Consistent scores around 40+ suggest you're approaching Standards Check readiness.
Latest Observation Scores
This section shows your scores from your most recent trainer observation, organised by category:
Lesson Planning (4 competencies)
Scores for competencies 1-4, relating to how you plan and structure lessons.
Risk Management (5 competencies)
Scores for competencies 5-9, relating to safety and risk awareness.
Teaching & Learning (8 competencies)
Scores for competencies 10-17, relating to your teaching methods and techniques.
Score Colours
- Red (1) - Needs significant work
- Amber (2) - Adequate but needs improvement
- Green (3) - Competent
Tap on any competency row to see the specific feedback your trainer provided for that competency.
Top Development Needs
This section highlights competencies where you scored 1 (needs significant work) in your latest observation. These are your priority areas for improvement.
How to Use This
- Focus your self-study and practice on these areas
- Discuss them with your trainer
- Look for learning resources related to these competencies
- Pay extra attention to these areas in your next lessons
Top Strengths
This section shows competencies where you scored 3 (competent) in your latest observation. Celebrate these wins!
Your strengths can help you improve your weaknesses. Think about what you do well in these areas and whether those techniques could apply elsewhere.
Average Performance Over Time
Expand this collapsible section to see your average scores across all observations, not just the most recent one.
- Avg. Development Needs - Competencies where your average score is below 2.0
- Avg. Strengths - Competencies where your average score is 2.5 or above
The "n=" number shows how many observations the average is based on. More observations mean a more reliable average.
Recent Observations
A list of your most recent trainer observations showing:
- Date of the observation
- Which learner you were teaching
