Open Assessment Reports

HMH Ed offers a set of reporting dashboards for district and school administrators. The Administrator Assessment report offers district and school assessment coordinators, instructional leaders, and many other roles across our districts, the tools to view and analyze student results from a variety of assessments included with many of the Core, Supplemental, and Intervention curriculum programs from HMH.

Teachers have their own Assessment Overview and Assessment Details Reports that are based on the program assessments they assign to their classes. Teachers use these reports for a variety of data-driven instructional planning, item and standards analysis, gradebook and report card workflows.

The Administrator Assessment report provides district administrators a "rolled up" version of the teacher Class Reports across classes, teachers, and schools for a broader analysis. For most US K–12 school districts, the Assessment Report shows each school’s averages, and for larger districts, the first view is their school groups (regions and community school districts, for example). School groups drill into schools, schools drill into leader teachers, and leader teachers drill down into classes.

Administrators can view completed test counts, unique student counts, school groups, and schools for an overall participation gauge as well as evaluate item and distractor data point like standard alignment, average score, time spent, and distractor analysis for select item types.

This report...

      Combines thousands and in many cases hundreds of thousands of student-completed item and test records and may take a full minute to load the summary information.

      Displays all the assessments completed in the current school year for the program and assessment type selected for the “organization” connected to the role of the user interacting with the report.  For example, if you have a district administrator role, the report shows all schools (or all school groups if your district has school groups); if you have a school administrator role, the report shows all the completed assessments for your school only.  

      Organizes data into three components—the Overall Performance (donut chart), Assessment Average (bar chart), and Assessment Results (table).

The organization may be a district, school groups, a school, lead teachers, or classes.

 

 

The three sections of the Assessment Overview Report are detailed as follows:

 

Overall Performance (donut chart)

This chart shows the overall performance on the selected assessments for all school groups, all schools, all lead teachers’ classes, or a single teacher’s classes. Overall performance is categorized by the same three performance levels in the Administrator Standards Report and both the Teacher Assessment and Standards Reports for consistency.  

The average overall performance for each assessment is then averaged across all other assessments (for the type) and the associated performance level is applied.  

The three performance levels are:

      Above Level:   80% to 100%

      On Level: 65% to 79.99%

      Below Level 0% to 64.99%

You can click the donut component to view more details about the respective performance level. A dialog box opens with the number of students tested by their organization and average time spent across all assessments in that type for the current school year.

Click the listed organization link (for example: school) in the dialog box to open the Administrator Assessment Overview Report for the selected organization.

 

Admin Assessment Overview Bar Chart

The bar chart component allows you to see your organizations, average percent score by assessment name starting with the earliest assessment on the left of the bar chart.

The bar chart displays the three performance level colors (green, orange, red). Pagination arrows appear in the upper right of the bar chart for large data sets.

Clicking the bar chart opens a dialog box with details, such as:

      Overall performance color circle and percent score

      Organization (for example: schools, class) grouping by the three-performance levels

      Average Time Spent

      Number of Test Taken

      Number of Unique Students

      Number of School Groups

      Number of Schools

      Number of Teachers

      Number of Classes

 

You can click the Go to Detailed View button to view the Administrator Assessment Detail Report.

 

 

Admin Assessment Overview Table

The table shows the assessment result for a given organization, program and their overall performance, and per test performance levels. The first column of the table lists the organization.

You can click an organization link and navigate to schools, teachers, or classes Administrator Assessment Overview Report.

 

Clicking the table header assessment name allows you to navigate to the Administrator Assessment Details Report as shown in the example below.

 

 

4.    From the Assessment Overview Report, drill into your Administrator Assessment Details Report and note the following about this report:

The Assessment Details Report provides you with that next level of analysis assessment-oriented leaders need. While the Summary Report provides a snapshot of overall performance to look across assessments and gauge overall participation and performance, the Assessment Details Report takes that next step by focusing on the items in a single test. The same levels of aggregation and disaggregation remain available as in the Summary Report. The default view is the top level district performance, school group by school group and or school by school. Drilling further unpacks the results by teacher and class.  

The data is a combination of overall assessment details AND item details.

This report includes the following four components:

      Key Performance Indicators

      Overall Performance Bar Chart

      Item Analysis table

      Assessment Result table

 

The four sections of the Assessment Details Report are described as follows:

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

This section provides you with a quick summary of pertinent usage and performance details for your organization.

 

 

Admin Assessment Details Overall Performance (donut chart)

This component allows you to see in-depth details of the selected assessment, overall performance, and average percent correct.

The performance level-colored circles (green, orange, red) breakdown percent within your organization across these three broad categories.

When you click in the chart, a dialog box opens with the number of students tested by your organization and average time spent.

You can click the listed organization (example: school) link in the dialog box to further view Administrator Assessment Details report for your respective organization.

 

Admin Assessment Details Item Analysis Table

The Item Analysis section lists each item on the test with a set of information for each item to help meet a variety of data-driven workflows.

The data includes:

      Item Sequence number

      Standard alignment coding number

      Maximum points possible

      Average item score

      Average time spent per item

      Distractor Analysis columns, which are labeled Options A to Option F.  

When available, these columns show the percent of students that selected each answer choice and the correct answer(s) marked with a green check.

 

Note:  Item Analysis table indicates multiple-part questions with an arrow beside the item number. Clicking the arrow expands to show the multi-part question students’ score and option choice.

Clicking the arrow again collapses the item multi-part display.

 

Note that filters can be applied on the Administrator Assessment Overview/Detail Reports.

 

Applied Filters are displayed on the reports as you navigate through the reports. You can remove filters by clicking the X button or Clear All text.

You can click the organization link to narrow down details to school, teacher, or classes assessment report. The table header items show the points possible; primary and secondary standards display as applicable.
