March 24, 2023 17:17

School Administrators and District Administrators can run the Cumulative Performance report to pull student data from Imagine Language & Literacy in a highly customizable format. This article explains how to access the report and then explains the three sections of the report: the Main Filters, the Results, and the additional Filters. The FAQs at the end of the article provide further guidance on using this report.

- Up to 250 results load at one time. If you wish to view all of your results, keep clicking Load More at the bottom of the page until the button becomes disabled, which means there are no further result to load.
- Use the arrow on the bottom right-hand side of the report to show or hide the Filters.

Main Filters section

This portion of the report allows you to perform some basic data filtering to customize the set of students returned in the results.

Caution

The Main Filters filter only the results you've loaded onto your page, so use the Load More button as noted above if you wish to view and filter all results.

Use the drop-down menus next to each section to select the information you want to display, then click Apply.
Click Reset to revert the filters back to their defaults.

Click HERE to learn more about the Main Filters.

The Main Filters are as follows:

Drop-down Menu	Description/Additional Information
School	Select one or more schools to include in the report. If you are a School Administrator, the only option will be your own school. For District Administrators, the default is all schools.
Grade Level	Select one or more grade levels to include in the report. The default setting is all applicable grade levels. Only the grade levels of students rostered in Imagine Language & Literacy in your school or district appear in the menu. If you are at a K-5 elementary school, for example, sixth grade will not be an option for you to select.
Assessment Type	Select one or more assessment types to include in the report. Only the choices applicable to your school or district will display. The possible selections are Embedded (the default Imagine Language & Literacy Benchmark), RLA (the Reading Level Assessment), NWEA, Galileo, and none. None means that the student started an assessment but has not yet finished. (A student who has been rostered but has never logged in yet will not appear on the report at all.)

Results section

This portion of the report is the data itself. All data is calculated since the start of the date selected in the date filter on the right-hand side of the page (or August 1st if no other date is chosen).

Use the arrows in each drop-down to select the information you want to view.

The Select Rows/Columns drop-down menu determines the columns that appear on the far left of the report.

Drag and drop any elements in the Unused section into the Rows section to include that element in the report. Or, drag and drop any dimension already in the Rows section to the Unused section to remove it from the report.

Tip

Filters section

This portion of the report contains additional filters beyond what is available in the Main Filters section. It is for those who want to take a deeper dive into the data.

Notes

In contrast to the Main Filters, the filters on the right side of the screen filter the entire data set, not just the results that have been loaded on your page.
Only the filter options applicable to the groups, teachers, and schools you've selected will appear. For example, if none of the students in your filters have completed more than an hour in the program, 60+ will not appear as an option to select in your Activity Time per Week (Year-to-Date) filter. However, if you edit the filters and select different schools, 60+ will appear in the Activity Time per Week filter if the students in the new schools you selected have reached this usage milestone.
The filters are cumulative, meaning that they work together (i.e., if you select multiple filters, the results contain only the students who meet all the requirements of the all filters.)

Use the options on the far right side of the screen to apply filters to the report. To edit an individual filter, click the yellow Include all button or hover over the top right corner of a filter and click the pencil icon that appears.

Many filters also contain an arrow you can click to access the edit window.
To turn a filter off, click the radio button in the slider. The slider will turn from yellow to gray. Turning the filter off is equivalent to setting it to Include All. Turning a filter off means that the filter will not impact the data.
When you uncheck a selection, it shows in red in the filters once you exit the editing portion of the filter.
To save filter settings, click the vertical ellipsis icon and select Set as My Default Filters.

To revert filters back to their defaults, click the refresh symbol.

Click HERE to learn more about the Filters on the right-hand side of the report.

Here is further information about each of the available Filters:

Name	Definition/Additional Information
School	Admins with only one school will be unable to deselect their school.
Demographics	This pulls from the district's Demographics data provided to Imagine Learning at the time of rostering. The choices available here will depend on what was input during rostering. Examples include SPED, ESOL, ELL, 504, etc.
Date Range	Clicking the yellow button brings up three options for editing. The Calendar view allows you to select the From and To dates with a calendar picker. The List view allows you to include/exclude the dates shown in the list. Time Frame allows you to select a period of time. Note You will receive an empty report if you choose a time frame in the future.
Teachers	Select/deselect the teachers you want to include in the report.

Lesson Pass Rate Grouping (Year-to-Date)	Choose between the various proficiency levels or N/A for students who do not yet have a lesson pass rate. This is the Lesson Pass Rate (total lessons passed/ total lessons completed) and is as follows: Developing is <60% Approaching is 60-69% Proficient is 70% or higher
Active Students	Choose between true and/or false. True means that students are active, while false means that they are not. An active student is one who has completed the Placement test and at least one minute of other activity.

FAQs

Click on a question below to learn more about common use cases for the Cumulative Performance report.

How do I know how many active students I have?

An active student is one who has finished the Placement test and has at least one minute of activity time in the program, and the number of Data Points equals the number of active students. Review the Data Points number at the bottom left of the table. If there are more than 250 students, select Load More until all students are loaded. (The button becomes disabled when all students are loaded.)

How much time are my students spending on their lessons?

Use Select Data to select Activity Time in Min and Avg Activity Time per Unique Day Worked as well as any other dimensions you would like to view.
Use Select Rows/Columns to select Student Number and/or Student First Name and Student Last Name.
Optional additional filter: Use the Grade Level in the search criteria to view a specific grade.

Are students mastering content (based on lesson pass rates)?

Use Select Rows/Columns to select Student Number and/or Student First Name and Student Last Name.
Open Select Data and select the Lessons Completed, Lessons Passed, and Lesson Pass Rate (for overall pass rates). If desired, you can also select fields for specific content areas: Oral Vocabulary Lesson Completed, Oral Vocabulary Lessons Passed, Oral Vocabulary Pass Rate, Literacy Lessons Completed, Literacy Lessons Passed, Literacy Lesson Pass Rate, Grammar Lessons Completed, Grammar Lessons Passed, and Grammar Lessons Pass Rate.

What grade levels are struggling?

Use Select Rows/Columns to select Grade Level.
Open Select Data and select the Lessons Completed, Lessons Passed, and Lesson Pass Rate.
Compare the passing rate across grades.

How do I see growth between assessments/Benchmarks?

Filter on the groups you want to see. If you are comparing the data, select a specific grade and assessment type using the drop-down menus in the Main Filters at the top of the page.
The difference between the beginning of year score and the most current score (middle or end of year) is the growth.
It is best to filter on one Benchmark/assessment at a time since the score ranges differ for each.

Tip

If you use the Cumulative Performance report to view growth, you need to perform the calculations yourself. The IL&L Benchmark Growth report and the Imagine Galileo ELA Benchmark reports automatically calculate and display growth.

How do I determine who has met my school or district's contest criteria?

Filter on the timeframe of the contest using the custom calendar in the Date Range filter (side panel filters)
Filter on the students included in the contest (school, grade, etc.)
Sort on the column(s) that match your contest criteria (For example: unique days worked, lessons completed, or lessons passed).
- Hover to the right of the column heading
- Click the up/down arrows for how you want to see the data (ascending or descending)

What is the lag time between when an action is taken and when it displays on the Cumulative Performance report?

The Cumulative Performance report data populates via an overnight sync. When a student completes a lesson, assessment, etc., the data is collected and compiled for reporting the next day. For example, when a student completes an assessment on Monday, the score displays in the Cumulative Performance report Tuesday.
