How do I interpret students' Skill Snapshot results?
Introduction
The teacher who created the Skill Snapshot determines when the student's goal has been met. The teacher sets the proficiency percentage (70%, 80% or 90%) and stops the probe when they determine the goal has been met. The student's performance is automatically graphed and summarized to help the teacher easily visualize when a goal has been met.
Overview of Performance
- Click on the Screen and Monitor tile, and select Skill Snapshot
- From the student groupings screen, click on a student's name to access the Skill Snapshots
- When the Probe for the Snapshot was created, the teacher set the proficiency goal (70%, 80% or 90%).
Look at the example below:
- Each time the student met the proficiency target set by the teacher, a dark blue square with a check mark was shown.
- This student, Carl, has met his target each time you see a dark blue square with a checkmark.
- Carl's teacher decided when he was ready to start a new probe.
- In this case, Carl's teacher waited until he met his target score 3 times in a row. When he did that, she stopped the probe and started a new one.
You can use this key to know whether a student met the goal or not each week.
First Short Term Objective
Look at Carl's graph below. His teacher set his proficiency target at 80%.
- You can see that Carl met this target three weeks in a row.
- Carl's teacher decided he had met the goal and stopped this probe.
Second Short Term Objective
After his teacher determined he met his first objective, Carl's teacher started a new probe. Her goal for Carl this time was to meet the proficiency target on 4 sequential attempts. Look at Carl's graph below:
- You can see that he met his proficiency target four times in a row.
- Once he had accomplished this, Carl's teacher stopped this probe since he had met this short term objective.
Multiple Short Term Objectives
-
After Carl met his proficiency target with the first two objectives. His teacher created a new measure to help Carl continue to demonstrate proficiency with skills connected to his overall goal.
- You can see how Carl performed on the different short-term objectives.
Notice the dotted horizontal line. This line automatically appears at the percentage the teacher set as Mastery or Proficiency when they created the probe.
