To Get Started:
Create a new quiz or find one in the shared activities.
Once it's saved to your account, click on "Question Bank" from the left-hand menu. In this area, you can open quizzes and begin to label each question by the standard that it's assessing. See video above for how to do this.
Assign the assessment to students and have them take it as they normally would. After the assessment, go to the quiz and choose "reports."
When you choose the "Labels" report, this will allow you to see how students performed on your assessment by the standards you have labeled. This can actually occur retroactively, meaning that once you label test questions by standard, you can go back to old assessments and pull reports to see this in action!
In my example below, I went back to an assessment I had given in a different district, labeled my questions, and then pulled a report to see how my students performed on those three standards.
I was able to go back to an old assessment, label my test questions, and then pull the report to see how my students performed on each of the three standards below. When you pull your report, you have the ability to indicate the acceptable percentage level to show proficiency. It defaults to 75% but this can be changed. You can also indicate the range for "partially meets," which is 60-74% in the example below.
