We need to integrate new assessment data (NWEA) into our framework for MTSS Dashboard. While previous sections (District, Classroom, Student) and functionality within will be reused, we will update them to include references to NWEA. We will also include Define School year for this project. A settings page will be unique to NWEA where admin user selects Tiers. Unique fields will be identified in the data set that will replace those used previously for Renaissance or iReady. This is especially impacted in the Student View.
Unique to the project: The grade bands will be 6-12 grade and the content areas are Reading and Math. Client will also provide historical data for these student when they were in grades K-5. (From brief research it seems like 3rd grade might be the starting point).
User Story: As a school district that uses NWEA as a formative assessment for predicting the achievement on state tests, we need to see the full picture of how students in grades 6-12 are growing based on their current and past scores on NWEA tests so that we can intervene for our Tier 2 and Tier 3 students by using all tools provided in MTSS Dashboard.
Reference guide: Indicates percentile ranges for each category and may also include field descriptors
Low: <21
Low Average: (21-40)
Average: (41-60)
High Average (61-80)
High (>80)
Possible Field Descriptors:
Student RIT
Norm Grade Level Mean RIT
Goals Performance--maybe for mapping tiers with performance level names (Low, Low Ave, etc)
Lexile Range
Growth Comparison Period-maybe a date range like ScreeningWindowStartDate and ScreeningWindowEndDate
RIT
RIT Growth
Growth Projection
Percentile Range-refers to a middle number which could be like our Percentile Rank
The following are areas that are unique to NWEA.
