Comprehensive view of student progress and growth across the classroom.

Proficiency Forecast Distribution


Forecast Comparison

Forecast category rates vs. state, district, and school.

Mastery Growth Index

Each dot shows a student's growth score.

Growth Comparison

Growth category rates vs. state, district, and school.

Student Details

Proficiency forecast, Mastery Growth Index category, and assessment completion for each student.

Standards Mastery by Student

Each cell shows whether a student has mastered (✓), approached (~), or not met (✗) the standard. Gray cells indicate the standard has not yet been assessed for that student. Level 3 = mastered.

Testlet Details

For each testlet completed by the class, the distribution of student performance levels and the standards assessed. Level 3 indicates mastery.

Growth Report

Mastery Growth Index analysis showing ability change and content mastery across the classroom.
Understanding Pace & Trajectory
Pace reflects testlet mastery: how much content a student has mastered so far, like a speedometer showing current speed. Students already at high pace have mastered most content and have limited room to go faster.
Trajectory reflects ability change over time: whether a student's measured ability is increasing, steady, or decreasing. A rising trajectory means the student is accelerating their learning. Together, these two dimensions give a fuller picture. A student at high pace but flat trajectory is maintaining strong performance, while a student at lower pace but rising trajectory is catching up.

Growth v2 Report

Split-minimum MGI: mastery contributes from testlet 3, ability growth from testlet 6.
How Growth v2 Works
This report uses a split-minimum approach to the Mastery Growth Index. Rather than requiring a single minimum number of testlets for the full MGI, each component activates independently: content mastery (Pace) begins contributing to MGI once a student completes their 3rd testlet, while ability growth (Trajectory) begins contributing once the 6th testlet is completed. Before each threshold, that component is treated as zero. This gives earlier, partial growth signals — teachers can see mastery trends by testlet 3 without waiting for enough data to measure ability change.

Split-Minimum MGI Formula

Each component of the Mastery Growth Index activates at a different point in the year.
Content Mastery Component
Active from testlet 3. Counts standards mastered out of 12 total.
Ability Growth Component
Active from testlet 6. Compares early ability to current ability estimate.
Current formula: MGI = 50% × Ability Growth + 50% × Mastery Rate (Mastered / 12)

Mastery Growth Index

Each dot shows a student's growth score (split-minimum formula).

Student Details

Individual student MGI scores using split-minimum formula. Mastery contributes from T3, ability from T6.

MGI Explorer

2D view of student ability growth vs. mastery rate with adjustable weighting.
About the MGI Explorer
This tool lets you explore how the two components of the Mastery Growth Index (ability growth and content mastery) interact. Use the weight slider to adjust how much each component contributes to MGI. Changes made here apply across all tabs: adjusting the weighting will recalculate MGI scores, shift the diagonal category boundaries, and update every chart and table in the report.

MGI = 50% × Ability Growth + 50% × Mastery Rate (Mastered / 12). Changing the weight shifts the diagonal category boundaries and recalculates MGI values.

Growth Sufficiency

Is each student's current growth rate sufficient to reach proficiency by end of year?

Projection Detail

Current score range → projected EOY score for each student.

Growth Analysis

Multiple psychometrically grounded perspectives on student growth — during the year and looking back.

MGI Sufficiency — Is Each Student Growing Fast Enough?

X-axis = current ability estimate (scale score). Y-axis = Mastery Growth Index (MGI). Each dot shows a student's current position and growth. The arrow shows how far they've moved from their early score — curvature indicates acceleration or deceleration. Green = on pace to reach next proficiency tier; red = below required pace. Hover a student to see their individual growth goal.
This chart answers three questions at once: Where is the student now? How fast are they growing? Is that fast enough?

Classroom Growth Narrative

Auto-generated synthesis of multiple growth indicators. Updates as more assessment data becomes available.

Student Growth Profiles

Multi-indicator evidence chains for each student. Each profile synthesizes starting point, growth rate, trajectory, sufficiency, and forecast into a defensible interpretation.

Category Definitions

How each classification used in this report is determined.

2. Tier Transitions

Where did students in each starting tier end up? Flow widths show how many students moved between performance levels. Upward flows (lighter colors) represent growth; downward flows (darker colors) represent regression. This is the clearest answer to "did our instruction move students to higher tiers?"
Available from testlet 3. Most meaningful at testlet 12 (summative).

3. Achievement Matrix

A 4×4 grid crossing starting tier (rows) with current achievement level (columns). Cell color intensity shows student density. The diagonal represents students who maintained their level. Cells right of the diagonal = growth; cells left = regression. This immediately highlights which starting groups moved and where they went.
Available from testlet 3.
