All-in-One Reporting Tool

Consider the Class Progress Report your new best

friend. This all-in-one report was designed to provide

you with a multi-level look into how your students are

performing individually and as a group.

Designed for Differentiation

Today’s classrooms are comprised of students with

different levels of prerequisite knowledge. That’s why

this type of report is especially beneficial—it provides

different perspectives depending upon your needs

and the abilities of your students.

Multi-level Data at Your Fingertips

With the Class Progress Report, you have a big

picture view of your class, but you can also drill

down into data for individual students.

Class Progress Report

To demonstrate the value of the Class Progress Report, we’ll look at some of

the key questions you may ask yourself on a daily basis and the solutions

provided by this PMT report.

Can I progress my lesson or do my students

need to review previous standards and skills?

Am I spending enough time on each concept

and skill?

Should I be providing my students with more

Intervention and Enrichment assignments?

14

To answer this question, simply look at overall class results and trends available through

the Class Progress Report.

Class Progress Report

Can I progress my lesson or do my students need to review previous

standards and skills?

You can view class averages on individual assignments to identify overall strengths and

weaknesses based on standards and skills. The Class Progress Report even shows

overall student averages for each assignment type. With this information, you can easily

identify which standards or skills to target in class or where individual students are in

need of extra help.

15

To answer this question, simply look at information on specific assignments - by class,

student, or question.

If all of your students missed question 4 from lesson 1.1, there is clearly something that

needs to be addressed with the whole class.

Class Progress Report

Am I spending enough time on each concept and skill?

You can also view a summary of items missed

and items correct on individual assignments.

16

Class Progress Report

For an even deeper look at individual student’s strengthen and

weaknesses, we recommend you use Knewton Analytics Reports.

Should I be providing my students with more Intervention and Enrichment

assignments?

To answer this question, look at individual student performance on specific assignments.

To view a student’s scores, simply click on the Student Name.

Chapter 5 Knewton Analytics Report

The Knewton Analytics Report provides

you with a detailed picture of your students

based on their performance within any

assigned Personal Math Trainer

assessment—as a whole and individually.

Consider it this way…Knewton is an artist

that you have commissioned to paint a profile

of each of your students based on their

cumulative PMT experience.

The Knewton Analytics Report is a glimpse

into the portrait that Knewton is continuously

painting. Every time your students work in

the PMT, Knewton will record their

engagement with the lesson content. The

more your students use the PMT, the more

defined each portrait becomes.

So what information is Knewton providing to

you through the Knewton Analytics Report?

Knewton Analytics Report

19

Proficiency is an intelligent

estimate of how well a student understands one or more concepts.

Active Time measures how much productive time learners are

spending studying the material, as opposed to how long a student has been logged in.

Knewton looks at both Proficiency

and Active Time to help you see where students might be struggling because they aren’t spending

enough time using PMT.

Knewton Analytics Report

As a teacher, you can look at class proficiency and active time against different categories including:

• California Common Core Standards • A specific location from the textbook • Depth of Knowledge

20

Knewton’s proficiency estimate reflects a student’s understanding of the concepts covered

by different categories. This proficiency rating can be used to help you identify your students’

strengths on core concepts as well as areas for improvement and further study.

Knewton Analytics Report

Note: If Knewton has no data on a student, the default is to

show the student as having a low proficiency.

Proficiency performance

falls into one of 5 buckets: • Very high • High

• Medium • Low

• Very low

21

For the California Common Core Standards category, you can drill down from domain to

cluster to specific standards.

You can see which standards students have mastered or need additional help with. You

can also see how individual students are performing against each category.
