Assessing Progress
Teachers can review a variety of reports on their students. After the
students have finished a problem set the teacher can determine how
well they did. This allows the teacher to use the data to inform
instruction. There are three ways to look at the data:
Item Analysis
In this report the teacher can find out how well
the group of students did on each individual item from a problem set
or over all the work to date on the Assistments.
Learning Standards Report
Assistments teaches 98 skills that
are included in the MCAS. Each problem in each problem set has been
tagged with one or more of these skills. This report shows how well
the entire class is performing in each of these skills.
Gradebook:
This report shows more "summative" information, such as
how long the student has worked on the Assistments, gives them an
estimate of their MCAS score and reports on how many problems the
student has performed and how many hints they asked for.
