We need to show all of the specifics for Reading / Language Arts including state and district assessments.
User Story
As a teacher user, I need to see a full picture of the student’s academic performance in STAR Early Literacy so that I can provide the student with appropriate tools and intervention plans to help them reach their potential in this content area.
UI
To view the Star Early Literacy results for a specific student, the user clicks on the Star Early Literacy tab.
Acceptance Criteria
Star Early Literacy and Star Reading Tabs (See image: 4th grade example-change year)
Star Early Literacy is normally given to students in grades K, 1, and 2 but there are a few cases where it was given to an older student therefore:
Given a student has taken the Star Early Literacy test within the school year selected, then they will see the Star Early Literacy Tab.
Given a student has not taken the Star Early Literacy test within the school year selected, then they will not see the Star Early Literacy Tab.
Given a student has taken both the Star Early Literacy and the Star Reading, then they will see both tabs.
User Story
This is for consideration after the first year.
As a teacher user I need to see a full picture of the student’s academic performance in reading over multiple years so that I will know the history of growth in the past and can better prepare for this year’s upcoming tests.
UI
To view the Star Reading results for a specific student, the user clicks on the Star Reading tab.
To select a different year, the user clicks on the the drop down and selects a year.
User sees previous year’s information.
Acceptance Criteria
Selecting a Past School Year
Given the student has been enrolled for multiple years and has taken a reading test (Star Early Literacy and/or Star Math), we will include the years the student has data for reading in the drop down. (See drop down in image: Empty State)
Given a student or the school district has no data for a particular year, then we will not show an option for selection in the drop down.
Given a previous school year is selected from the drop down, then we will show the graph and chart below for the that selection. (See image Previous School year)
Given a previous school year is selected from the drop down, then we will show the graph and chart below for that selection.
Given I am a user viewing one or more school years, I will see all assessment data for the selected time periods.
Define School Year Settings
The default setting for the school year are: Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3, Quarter 4.
Settings options include:
Semesters
Trimesters
Quarters
Seasons
Grading Periods
Marking Periods
Mapping:
See Star Reading | Renaissance | Assessment Integration for field selections.
Important note: We are requiring customers to enter the school year start date and the school year end date in a form when they first start using the product. We will use the user-supplied dates as the “source of truth” for school year start date and school year end date (see).Define School Year Settings
Testing Windows
We will follow Renaissance fields: ScreeningWindowStartDate and ScreeningWindowEndDate to know when to begin and end data collection for each test (Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, Star Math) and each season (Fall, Winter, Spring). That information fills the graphs and charts in the student area. Additional field needed is ScreeningWindowPeriodName which shows the season name (Fall, Winter, Spring) and accompanies each of the ScreeningWindowStartDate and ScreeningWindowEndDate fields for each test.
We will use the ScreeningWindowStartDate to determine which label to use for the time periods as defined by Define School Year Settings and where to put the data in regards to the school year.
Given no data is available for a test, then we will show the Empty state for the graph and chart.
Empty states apply to each of the areas in the Student View (Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, Star Math, Behavior, SEL, Attendance).
User Story
As a teacher viewing the Star Early Literacy Tab for a specific student, I need to see a graph that directs my attention to the specific cut points for the grade level of the student so that I can understand the progress the student is making throughout the year.
UI
Acceptance Criteria
Follow same rules for functionality of graphs as is explained in Star Math.
Columns in table: View Renaissance Early Literacy for Mapping
Percentile
We will show the student’s percentile rank for each of the seasons.
Mapping: See: PercentileRank In Star Early Literacy
Scaled Score
We will show the student’s scaled score for each of the seasons.
Mapping: See: ScaledScore In Star Early Literacy
Category Rating
We will show the student’s category rating based on the percentile.
Mapping: See: RenaissanceBenchmarkCategoryName in Star Early Literacy
Grade Equivalent
We will show the student’s grade equivalency.
Mapping: See: GradeEquivalent in Star Early Literacy
Extra Time
We will show if the student needed extra time: Yes or No are the possibilities
Mapping: See: ExtraTime in Star Early Literacy.
Plan
None (if there is not an MTSS Intervention Plan)
T2 button (Pre-Planning, In-Progress, Mastered, Archived)
T3 button (Pre-Planning, In-Progress, Mastered, Archived)

User Story
As a teacher user who is considering creating a new intervention plan, I need to view past intervention plans so that I can assess the effectiveness of past supports to help me determine the best course of action moving forward.
UI
Viewing an Intervention Plan
To view an intervention plan, the user clicks on the Intervention Plan button and is taken to view the intervention plan. (Need to show an intervention plan.)
Acceptance Criteria
Viewing an Intervention Plan
Intervention Buttons are included on Star Early Literacy (SEL), Star Reading, Star Math, Behavior, SEL.
Given user has clicked on an intervention plan button, they will be taken to view the intervention plan. (See image: Intervention Plan button)
8 Tier Button variations include:
T2 and T3 Plan-Pre Planning
T2 Plan and T3 Plan In -Progress
T2 Plan T3 Plan -Archived
T2 Plan and T3 Plan- Mastered
Given a student has the same intervention plan in the same status (Pre Planning, In Progress, Mastered, Archived) that extends into another testing window, then we show the same button twice-once in the previous testing season and once in the current testing season.
Given the user changes the status of the plan within the current testing season, we will update the button to reflect the change thus showing only one button with the most current updated status.
