Interpreting the Data
The data in this report is color-coded so that patterns can be identified easily. The value-added colors have the same meaning here as on the value-added reports. For more information, see School Value-Added.
| Color | Growth Index Compared to Expected Growth | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Level 5 | At least 2 standard errors above | Significant evidence that the group of students exceeded expected growth |
| Level 4 | Between 1 and 2 standard errors above | Moderate evidence that the teacher's students made more progress than expected growth |
| Level 3 | Between 1 standard error above and 1 standard error below | Evidence that the teacher's students made progress similar to expected growth |
| Level 2 | Between 1 and 2 standard errors below | Moderate evidence that the group of students did not meet expected growth |
| Level 1 | More than 2 standard errors below | Significant evidence that the group of students did not meet expected growth |
The colors in the pie charts have the same meaning here as on the diagnostic reports. For more information, see the Diagnostics section of Help.
Diagnostic Color | Growth Measure Compared to Expected Growth | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
Light Blue | At least one standard error above | Moderate evidence that the students made more growth than expected. |
Light Green | Between one standard error above and one standard error below | Evidence that the students made growth as expected. |
Light Red | More than one standard error below | Moderate evidence that the students made less growth than expected. |
White | N/A | Not enough students to generate a growth measure. |
As you consider the data, you'll want to note any patterns of growth that you observe. For example,
- Are students in all grades, subjects, and courses meeting or exceeding expected growth?
- Was there stronger growth in one subject area than in others? Did this pattern persist across multiple grades?
- Was there stronger growth in one grade than in others? Did this pattern persist across multiple subjects?
- Looking across grades and subjects, did some achievement groups consistently make more growth than others?
Examining these patterns can provide insight into the overall effectiveness of the School's instructional program. In addition, the growth patterns can highlight both strengths and areas for improvement.
