Performance Analysis Back to Contents

Performance Analysis Be information rich not data rich Analyse assessment results - grades, points/marks or ages Identify pupils for intervention Variety of analysis grids available

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Analyse one or more groups of pupils Example: Grade / Points Distribution – view one assessment and look at the distribution of grades / points for the group(s)

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Single or multiple groups can be viewed Displays either a count or percentage at each grade/mark

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Example: Grade / Points Average – view multiple assessments and look at the average grade or points score for the group(s)

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Individual attainment can be viewed Displays average grade for the group in each assessment

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Outcome Type changed to Mean Value (Points Score)

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Gender Filters can be quickly applied allowing comparison between the genders and cohort as a whole

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Display rows for each group showing entire group and gender split

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Group Filters facilitate the analysis of vulnerable groups

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Include / Exclude allows very specific filtering Filters match those used in RAISEOnline Filters can be saved and shared across SIMS

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Graphing functionality generates graphs with one mouse click Most types of analysis grids have graphing functionality available

Performance Analysis – Group Analysis Grids Detail of analysis displayed Graph type can be changed

Performance Analysis – Aspect Analysis Grids Designed to look at several assessments at the same time for one group of pupils View either the latest results or results from a certain point in time (Result Set)

Performance Analysis – Aspect Analysis Grids Assessments (Aspects) displayed in rows Analysis by grade, points score/marks or ages

Performance Analysis – Aspect Analysis Grids View all results held in SIMS or specify a group of pupils Filter by gender Custom Filter to view specific pupils in the group

Performance Analysis – Aspect Analysis Grids

Performance Analysis – Result Set Analysis Grids Analyse assessments at different points in time View grade distribution, marks, ages or average grades/points score

Performance Analysis – Result Set Analysis Grids

Performance Analysis – Chance Analysis Grids Compare the relationship between results for two different assessments (Input and Output) – could be same Aspect but different points in time Useful for understanding current/future attainment based on historical

Performance Analysis – Chance Analysis Grids Output specified in columns Input specified in rows

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review) Plot an Input and Outcome and compare result against national trend lines School progression lines can be generated, based on actual results

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review) Actual Results plotted against the line National progression line appropriate to input/outcome The larger the circle, the more pupils with that result

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review) National line in red (see key) School line in green

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review) Individual Outcomes shows actual, expected and difference Choice of scores or grades

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Review) Group Outcomes shows actual versus expected Count or percentage – cumulative available

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction) Generate predictions for future attainment Use national or school progression lines

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction) Predictions will be plotted on the progresion line National progression line used

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction) School trend line added and predictions generated for both lines

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction) Individual Outcomes for both lines comparison and difference calculated

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Progression (Prediction) Group Outcomes compares the two predictions

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Value Added Similar functionality to Trend Analysis: Progression Plot results against national or school value added lines Review results or generate predictions

Performance Analysis – Trend Analysis: Value Added Results plotted against national line can be used to generate school line

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids Similar to ISP Grids Visually establish if progress / attainment is satisfactory or if intervention required Analyse grades, marks/scores or ages Graphs can be generated

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids Target cells allow calculation of on / above / below target Rows relate to Result Sets – analyse assessment over time Target cells identify national benchmark

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids Plot attainment from one term to another (Result Set) Target identifies expected progress

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids Compare two subjects against national benchmark

Performance Analysis – Tracking Grids Benchmarks may be the same for each row or different Compare attainment of groups

Academic Management Back to Contents

Academic Management Manage membership of teaching / intervention groups or extra-curricular activities/clubs Monitor impact of interventions Use these groups to create marksheets / analysis and filter in Group Filters

Academic Management Curriculum Schemes created Teaching Groups defined Pupils placed into Teaching Groups
