Standards Growth Over Time

Kayla Elam
I would love to see a report that can show my how all of my students have been growing during a certain time period on standards with a breakdown by each assessment as well. I collect this data right now on a Google Sheet and input data manually from Otus data, so being able to create a report here would be great! I just indicate if a student needs improvement, is approaching mastery, or mastered that standard based on their percentage, so it wouldn't even need to indicate an actual number but rather an indicator or color.

Thanks for leaving this feedback Kayla Elam! I'd like to learn more about the scope and view you're envisioning. For example, when you say "all your students" are you thinking all of your students' progress over time in one view, or some kind of aggregation, or just being able to see each student's progress over time in some way? If you're comfortable, a redacted screenshot of your own system might help. Or if you aren't comfortable posting here, I can reach out to you with my email!

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher Here is what I use! I have a list of all my students total and then broken up by class on a different tab. I add columns and track during the year to see a better "map" of how they are doing for standards. The graph isn't necessary, I just find it helps me when I'm glancing and making groups for our Tier 2 interventions!

Kayla Elam - This is super cool! Thanks for sharing! So the "over time" aspect is over time on your assessments, right? Related data collection question: are you always only linking a standard once to your assessments. Ex. RL.7.1 is only tagged to one question (in other words once) on the Nimona assessment. (P.S. Nimona is so good!)

Oop, one more question - what does the checkbox mean under the % student mastery donut chart? That they reached a certain level on the overall mastery of the standard?

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher Over time as in throughout the school year! Ideally, we want students to progress up during the year as we progress through our units and questioning formats get more difficult. If there is a trend (one way or the other), then we dive more into that standard. For your example, even though it was only used once, we often use similar questioning types within a standard on different assessments. That's why looking at a broader scale is better than just looking at one assessment. With the current reports and using "Most Recent" scores, students appear as "Mastered" for a standard when there was only one question.

Stephanie Baeza, UX Researcher I use the checkbox to help for our grouping! If they have showed Mastery for that standard, I mark them off. Then, I reorganize my chart before we create Tier 2 groups to help me create groupings based on where they are at with their Mastery! It's more fluid than anything!

Kayla Elam - Makes a ton of sense! Thank you so much for taking the time today to provide such detailed, clear responses. Much appreciated! Otus always has room to grow and this feedback really helps us do so.
