Class Progress Report

With the Class Progress Report, teachers can easily view and compare the Beginning of Year (BOY), Middle of Year (MOY), and End of Year (EOY) scores, along with percentile ranks, for all their students in a single view.

Gone are the days of toggling between multiple screens to track a student's progress. Now, you can instantly observe shifts in assessment scores throughout the year.

 

How to access the Class Progress Report

Teachers can access the Class Progress Report from the Teacher Dashboard in Reading Assistant by clicking on the Class Progress Report tile.

How to use the Class Progress Report

As students complete assessments during the Beginning of Year (BOY), Middle of Year (MOY), and End of Year (EOY) periods, their scores and corresponding percentile rankings will be displayed. By considering the benchmark scores, a teacher can easily see student progress, growth, or concern.  We recommend teachers begin by using the percentile ranks and then ARM scores when considering the change in scores.

To facilitate easy understanding, the scores will be color-coded according to our Red/Yellow/Green (R/Y/G) cut score system:

 

  • Red: 24th percentile or below

  • Yellow: 25th to 74th percentile

  • Green: 75th percentile or above

...

 

In the 'Latest' column, you will find the score from the most recent progress monitoring that the student has completed. If a student hasn’t completed progress monitoring between benchmark assessments, the score will reflect the same as from the benchmark assessment.

Considering the percentile ranks and change in scores can help teachers identify students in need of additional intervention and support and communicate the need for such support. To understand the skill development a student needs, teachers should consider the Skills Diagnostic or Skills Status reports.

Metrics in the Class Progress Report 

While we recommend focusing on the ARM score you can change the metrics displayed by using the dropdown on the left of the report.

...

The Progress Report displays each individual student's performance over time across assessments and practice sessions along with a projection of expected performance tied to key metrics. The Progress Report can be used to analyze a student's reading behaviors across multiple practice or assessment sessions, track growth, and set goals.

Estimated Mastery:

 

  • The Progress Line in the Progress Report is the focal point for each student’s current and predicted progress.

  • This Progress Line is calculated from all the data available.  Screening data, Benchmark Assessment, bi-weekly Progress Monitors, Practice and Skills Scaffold sessions will all be used in concert to calculate a student’s current and EOY mastery.

  •  The Progress Line  utilizes a sophisticated algorithm leveraging Amira’s experience with hundreds of thousands of students to estimate the trajectory of growth.

  •  Progress Lines will now work better for students in the Early Reader Skills Scaffold. 

  • Equivalent For Spanish & English

 

Percentile Rank

The percentile ranks are based on national norms, as displayed in the benchmark section of the Score Configuration sidebar.
