Open HMH Growth Reports

HMH Growth Measure Reports show class and student results from growth measure assessments. All Growth Measure Reports provide comparisons, such as the change in a student's score from one test to another and the difference between the student scores and the end-of-year state testing performance levels for each score group. The growth measure assessment scores appear as Scaled Scores.

Note:

      If your organization does not have access to any of the growth measure learning programs, such as Into Reading, Into Literature, Into Math, Into AGA, Math in Focus, ¡Arriba la Lectura!, Waggle, Math 180, and Read 180, then the growth reports are not available to you.

      Reports for the school years 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 show five performance levels (Far Below Level, Below Level, Approaching, On Level, and Above Level).

      At this time, reports for the school year 2020–2021 continue to show three performance levels (Below Level, Approaching/On Level, and Above Level).

      Reports from the 2019–2020 school year continue to show the previously offered performance levels (Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced).

 

To open a Growth Report:

1.    Do either of the following:

      In the Your Messages area of the Dashboard, locate the Growth Report Update message for the growth measure you want to open and click View Report.

Note: The Class Key Performance Indicator (KPI) widget in the left panel of the page provides a quick view of the class average scaled score and the class average grade level equivalency (GLE) for the report; this widget remains in place as you scroll down the report page.

 

2.    Above the report graphs, use the lists provided to select the report that you want to view, as follows:  

      In the Class list, select the class.

      In the Assessment list, select the test title and school year.

      In the Test Level list, select another level of the test (if available).

      In the Test Window list, select the test window of the test (Beginning-of-Year, Middle-of-Year, or End-of-Year).

      In the Student list, select an individual student for which to view the report. (Skip to step 5 for details.)

 

3.    Use the buttons at the top of the page to print the report or export a CSV file of the report. (See Print or Export Growth Reports for details.)

 

4.    On the Growth Report for All Students (class report), note the three areas of the report.

      In the Current Performance for All Students scatter plot, do any of the following:

      Note the average class score, which is indicated by the large black and white node class average icon.

      Click a color band link (below the graph) to view a dialog box listing the students whose HMH Scaled Scores fall within that score range; the test score for each student is also displayed.

      Within the dialog box, click Create Group to create a group of the students listed in this performance level. The Create Groups page appears with the listed students in a group named for the performance level (for example, "On Level"). Click to view example of Create Groups page.

The Create Groups page displays the other students in the class and allows you to create additional groups. For details about renaming and managing groups, see Edit Groups.

 

      In the Domain Performance Levels bar graph, do any of the following:

      View the break down in your class test performance by the skill domains and see how many students in your class are performing Above Level, Approaching, On Level, Below Level, and Far Below Level for each domain.

      Click any bar to view a dialog box listing the students whose scores fall within that score range.

      Within the dialog box, click Create Group to create a group of the students listed in this domain performance level. The Create Groups page appears with the listed students in a group named for the domain performance level (for example, "On Level") and a description of groups named for the domain (for example, "Reading Comprehension").

Note: The Key Performance Indicator (KPI) widget in the left panel of the page provides a quick view of the student's average scaled score and student's average grade level equivalency (GLE) for the report; this widget remains in place for you to review as you scroll down the report page.

 

6.    On the Growth Report for Individual Student page, do any of the following:

      Use the buttons at the top of the page to print the report or export a CSV file of the report. (See Print or Export Growth Reports for details.)

      Click the Go to Parent View button to view the student report with the class comparison data removed. This provides a report with only the selected student's data displayed, which allows you to save or print a report that is appropriate to share with parents. Click to view example of a Parent View report page.

    To return to the individual student report with class comparisons displayed, click the Go to Teacher View button.

      View the student's test results, including the selected test scores, proficiency rating, total year-to-date growth (which shows the growth of the most recent tests scores from the scores of the first test of the year), and if available, the state forecasted proficiency.

      In the Current Performance scatter plot, note the student's score, which is represented by the node with the student's initials Graph node with Student Initials, compared to the class score. The class average score is represented on the graph by the large black and white node class average icon.

      In the Domain Performance Levels graph, view the student's performance for each domain. Click any bar to view the list of students whose scores fall within that score range.

      In the table, see the student's test results for all the test events offered for this test.

Note: Unlike other assessments and activities, Growth Measure assessments do not allow you to review student responses.
