Performance Summary by Class

The Performance Summary report provides a
summary of your class’ performance for all class
assignments in a category over a specified date
range. The Performance Summary report lists a
learning objective/standard, the number of items
(i.e., questions) that assess that
objective/standard, and the proficiency level that
the class as a whole has attained.

To use the Performance Summary report
effectively, you must consistently include
question information for one or more of the
following fields in each of the items you create:
learning objective, local standard, state standard,
or national standard. (Many publishers include
this information for the questions they provide.)

You can customize the Performance Summary
report to generate the performance data that best
meet your needs. You can select the date range
for the class assignments, and you can set an appropriate proficiency target (e.g., 70% and above) for the class assignments
at a particular time in the term. As an example, you might set the proficiency target at 70% with the first class assignment that
covers a particular learning objective/standard. Then, on a subsequent class assignment on the same learning
objectives/standards, you might set the proficiency target at 80%.

Click Report from the menu bar and select Performance Summary by Class.

Select which assignments the report should include. You can choose assignments by Category or Term. Or a range of
assignment dates.

Select whether you want your report focus to be learning objectives, national standards, state standards, or local
standards. The available choices will depend on the information available in the selected assignments.

Set the proficiency target. To change the default setting, set it in the Preferences.

Select whether you want to show the names of students who are proficient at each objective or standard.

To view reports for selected students only, select a report filter. Click Filters to create, edit, or delete an existing filter.

Click OK to view the report.

NOTE

The shaded area shows the performance for the median 70% of the students in your class.
For example, if there are 20 students in your class, the top 3 scores (15%) and lowest 3
scores (15%) would not be included. The range of scores represents 14 students or 70% of
the class. The diamond shows the actual class average. Use the graphs to see how the
majority of students performed. If the area is relatively short, students’ scores were similar.

Select a percentage from the Zoom drop-down list to change the zoom setting.
