The Benchmark Performance Levels Report Provides an In-Depth Analysis of Student Learning

Check out the enhancements to the Benchmark Performance Levels report! It now provides teachers and administrators the capability to evaluate student performance on multiple measures involving classes and schools. This report is useful to answer the following questions:

• which students need intervention?
• which standards have students mastered? 
• which standards should be retaught?
• is student performance improving throughout the year?
• how does class performance compare to school and district performance?
• how does student performance compare across content areas?
• which schools and classes are excelling or struggling?
• how are students performing in each of their classes?

Compare performance across tests at multiple levels in the Benchmark Performance Levels report. 

The new report is accessible from the Benchmark Performance Levels report on the Teacher- and Admin Dashboards as well as from the Reports menu. Chart views include colorful bar graphs that illustrate patterns of performance. Data views provide interactive data tables that enable custom search and sorting. Additionally, print and export capabilities support a variety of formats such as JPG, PDF, and Excel.

What You Need to Know About the New Reporting Functions on the Teacher Dashboard

ATI recently released a new widget on the Galileo K-12 Teacher Dashboard.  This new widget displays Benchmark Performance levels on pre, post and benchmark assessments.  The Benchmark Performance Levels reporting widget displays the percentage of students in each performance level. This performance level is based on where a student’s Development Level (DL) score falls relative to the cut scores and the respective levels, on each benchmark assessment taken. The cut scores on the benchmark assessments are set to correspond to the cut scores and performance bands on the state standardized test. When a user drills down via the View Detailed Benchmark Performance Levels link, he or she will see student and aggregate data including performance levels, student scores, and standards mastery.  New functionality has been added which includes a search and sorting capability.
