• Option to have a "Group View" for grade level teaming, collaborating, and RIT days.
   

• New this year: Option to view "Grade Level Results"
   

• Color Coding: Red-below or far below basic, white-basic, green-proficient, blue-advanced (based on if the student had this score in the spring testing for the current grade
   

• Individual Student Profiles: Click on a student's name for students who need specific instruction or support
   

• Upper Left Navigation provides:
  
  Class Breakdown by Goal Area:  Great info for differentiating with the concepts needed for each area (not a good choice for printing!) The concepts are currently called the "Learning Continuum."  In the future it will be the newest version of the Learning Continuum which is called DesCartes
  
  Class Breakdown by Goal Area without Continuum: Great to have a list you can print to show where students are by each goal area for flexible grouping
  
  Class Report: Great for class goal-setting by using the means at the bottom of the page.  Great for student goal setting (purple is the student's lowest goal area...which is the best area for a goal)

3.  ARC

• ASG Reports- http://home.pusd/arcweb/arc.html

• After each testing window closes, PUSD retrieves all the data and reports from NWEA, cleans them, creates additional reports, and posts them on ARC.

  For each student tested in the fall  you can print the ASG (Achievement Status and Growth) Class Report Fall 200_ to see growth targets for each student.  Then, if you test these students in the spring you can print the ASG Class Report for the Spring to see the actual growth compared to the targeted growth. See sample reports below. 

  Ray Wilson also provides optimal growth targets.  If a student who is far below basic achieves optimal growth each year, they will attain grade level proficiency within a three year period.  Advanced students need to reach optimal growth targets in order to stay in the advanced range. 

  Instructions:  to Print the Achievement Status and Growth Targets Class Reports select them from your site's MAP reports in ARC.  You can always contact Karen Eccles and she will have someone in her department secure these reports for your site.

   

4.  NWEA

      http://www.nwea.org

      What's available:
 

• Class Reports 24 hours after Testing  Instructions to retrieve reports (page 1)  (Sample for how to interpret class reports.)

• DesCartes:  teachers can look up any RIT score in any goal area to see what a student is ready to learn.  The RIT score is a student's instructional level.  They know 50% of the items listed in the range of their score.  After logging in at the NWEA site, teachers need to scroll down the page until they see the word "DesCartes" under Data Tools in the menu on the left. 
   

• DesCartes Vocabulary and Signs and Symbols: teachers can look up or print the new vocabulary and symbols for each RIT range.
