Homeroom Dashboards - Student Growth By Assessment Test List Data Extract

The Student Growth by Assessment List extract creates an Excel document listing individual student scale score progress over a series of assessments. This extract allows teachers, specialists and others to monitor the progress of students on a series of assessments. This extract creates an easy way to identify students who are growing, stagnating or falling behind over the course of a year in order to target students for intervention.

For the chosen student group and assessments, the extract provides a list of students in the group and their scores on each assessment. In addition to scale scores, the extract also includes the scale score growth and percent change between each assessment, as well as the percent change from the first assessment to the last.

*NOTE: For the data delivered to be useful, it's important that users choose comparable assessments for which scale score growth is meaningful.
