Analyzing the Imagine Español Benchmark Growth report at the group and student levels

Teachers and Administrators: After reading the Overview of the Imagine Español Benchmark Growth report and accessing the report on your device, use this article to help you interpret your students' results. 

To analyze the IE Growth report at the group (class) and student levels:

1. Verify all drop-down menus and filters are set to populate the data you wish to view. Click Apply Changes if you select anything other than the default. (The default test window selections are all test windows since August 1st; the default rostered grade selection is All.)
   

    Tip

   The Rostered Grade filter can be helpful if you have students from multiple grades in the same group, and you'd like to focus on only one rostered grade at a time.

2. Interpret your results in the Overall Performance section at the top of the report.

   Overall Performance/At-a-Glance View

   

   The horizontal bar shows the count of students who performed in each proficiency level for each assessment in the Test Windows filter. Hover over a section of the graph to see the percentage.
   

3. Interpret your results in the Status section in the top right corner of the report.

   Status View

   
   The current or most recently closed testing window will display by default; click on a different testing window, if available, to see a previous result.
   
   This portion of the report displays the count of students with a test status of:

   • Completed
   • Not Started
   • Expired (started, but not submitted within 28 calendar days)
   • In Progress
   • Not eligible (due to students' rostered grade level)

   
   Optional: Download this portion of the report using the download icon and selecting Download student statuses. This provides a CSV file of each student's first name, last name, ID, rostered grade level, and test status. Data will be available for all testing windows you selected.
   
    

4. Interpret your results in the Detailed Student Performance section at the bottom of the report.

   Data Table/Detailed Performance View 

   
   
   The columns in this portion of the report are:

   • Student: An alphabetical list of students by their last name. 
   • Rostered Grade: The rostered grade level of the student.
   • Test Window: BOY, MOY, or EOY. This column only displays when you are viewing results for more than one Benchmark.
   • Completion Date:  The date the student finished the Benchmark. If they did not complete it, this column will display No data.
   • Percent Correct: The overall % the student earned on the Benchmark. If the student has not finished the Benchmark, this field will display No data. 
   • Growth YTD: The change in Percent Correct between the first and most recent assessment selected in the Test Window filter. This column only displays when you are viewing results for more than one Benchmark.
   • Performance: The student's performance level, color-coded to match the key at the top of the report. The options are Minimally Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, and Advanced. 

    Note

   When you're analyzing multiple testing windows, a row displays for each window. You can use the arrow to close this view so that only the most recent assessment displays.

8. The student-level report opens with data for each assessment you selected in the Test Windows filter in the group-level report, or you can access and change the filter at the student level, too. For each assessment, the student's percentage correct is placed in the corresponding grade-level proficiency band. The Growth column populates when the student has completed more than 1 assessment. Positive growth is indicated by a green arrow and negative growth, by a red arrow. 
   
   
   In this table, you can also view the date the student completed each Benchmark and the amount of time the student was actively working on it.
   
   If the student didn't take the assessment, you'll see one of the following messages instead:

   Message	Explanation
   	This student is assigned to take the test but has not yet taken it.
   	This message appears for students who are ineligible for the test.   Students in Grades PreK and Grades 6+  are ineligible for the Benchmark.

9. To navigate to another student's report, select a different student's name in the Student drop-down menu at the top of the page, then click Apply Changes.
