Which items elicited the lowest and highest percentage of student response? Did students who responded incorrectly to a particular item also respond incorrectly to items assessing the same standard? Is there a difference in time spent between students who answered the item correctly vs. incorrectly? What does the amount of time a student spent on an item tell you? Are results different between question types (i.e.multiple choice, open-ended questions, readingvs. writing)? Created by Heather P. Wright & David Bustos, Polk County Schools

Are students equally distributed among the performance categories or are they distributed in the categorical extremes? Is the categorical distribution of students based on a single standard assessment administration or on several administrations? If the standard has been assessed multiple times, what does the data say about my interventions or classroom instructional practices? Is my data based on one item or several items assessing the same standard? What implications are there for my instructional practices? Created by Heather P.

Standards Mastery Report: Drilled Down Shows names of students in each performance category, by standard Shows score ranges for each band (note that this test only has 4 bands set) How can I use this report to target students for intervention?
