Data Provided Previously is Still Available System Requirements around Browsers and Operating Systems What’s the Same? PERFORMANCE REPORTS

New look and feel New enhanced navigation –What can I do with this data? New landing page –Provides data across grades and subjects Dashboard data integrated with performance information New content standard report Trend analysis available at the strand level (in addition to subject) Enhanced help features What’s Changed? PERFORMANCE REPORTS

Performance Reports: Logging On Upon logging on, users will see a snapshot of the performance and testing progress of their district or school across all grades and subjects. By clicking on the percentage of students proficient for a particular test, they will be able to access more information for that test. This replaces the “selection tree” in the old system which asked users to select grade and subject but did not provide any data.

Performance Reports: Subject Performance Users will see the same data that were available in the old performance reports (Average Scale Score at This Time Last Year, Count, etc. in addition to what is shown) District users will see performance data for the district and its schools; school users will see data for a school and each teacher; etc. The distribution of students across performance levels will be shown graphically to allow easier comparison between groups Users will be able to view the data for subgroups by choosing an option from the “Breakdown By” dropdown

Performance Reports: Navigation Users will be able to explore the data in various ways to answer questions they have of the performance reports and identify strengths and weaknesses This icon will indicate that data can be further explored When users click the icon, they will see a control panel that will let them select whether they want to see more or less group detail, more or less content detail, or if they want to see a trend for a particular piece of data

Performance Reports: Navigation (cont) By choosing more or less group detail, users will be able to see data for schools, individual personnel, classes, or individual students. The buttons on the control panel will update to identify the data the user will be accessing. This will help users answer “who” questions. For example: Who is struggling in algebra? This is similar to the “drill down” feature of the old site.

Performance Reports: Navigation (cont) By choosing more or less content detail, users will be able to navigate between performance information at the subject, strand, and content standard level. This will help users answer “What” questions. For example: What areas of Reading are my school’s strengths?

Performance Reports: Navigation (cont) By choosing “Trend” or “Current” users will be able to choose whether they want information on the current year performance of a student, group of students, school or district or if they want a historical trend of that performance. This will help users answer “When” questions. For example, Has this group of students struggled in science in the past?

Performance Reports: Data and Tools The Performance Reports will continue to provide data and tools provided by the old Performance Reports. Users will be able to use the navigation described earlier to access these data and tools. Longitudinal Reports Rosters of students with scores Ability to create custom rosters Ability to view all aggregated data for custom rosters Printable family-friendly student reports Ability to print and export pages
