The data will be shared with you as a spreadsheet in Google Drive.
When you open the spreadsheet you will notice the following:
First 2 columns are the student names.
First row are the learning goals (from the previous grade level) each question is aligned to.
Second row are the questions.
Third row is the answer key.
There are 2 tabs at the bottom, one says Student Submissions and the other says Grades.
The Student Submissions tab is great for looking at the answers the students entered and for error analysis (What mistake did they make when solving the problem? Are there multiple students who made the same mistake?)
The Grades tab will show the following:
Student names with total points and percent correct on the assessment. Students in red font scored below 60%.
For each problem students will either have a 1 or a 0. 1 = correct answer, 0 = incorrect answer (multi-select problems are also only 1 point, must be exactly right to earn the point, but worth looking at the students' answers)
All of the questions and learning goals are listed across the top. Learning Goals highlighted in orange are questions which were answered correctly by less than 60% of the class. This will guide you to some concepts that may require whole group review. It will be especially helpful to go back to the Student Submissions tab for these questions to see what incorrect answers were given.
Below all the student data there is a row which has the percent correct for each question in your class.
The bottom row(s) include the building wide (if applicable) and district wide averages on the assessment and the average for each question. This will be helpful for comparing how the students did overall and on each question compared to the rest of the students in the district.
It is also helpful to look at questions that had a high percentage of correct answers.
As a reminder, these assessments are based on the previous grade level curriculum
