Settings | iReady

iReady has only grades K-8 at this time.
We need to create the Setting for iReady customers that establishes the Tier Settings for the school year for both reading and math. Settings provide the rules that carry through in all areas for determining Tier Levels including: Tier Notices, Approaching and At Risk Indicators, Behavior Intervention Plan Buttons. All functionality is the same as is built for Renaissance.
Tara has created a spreadsheet (named “tier_mappings_for_academic_asessments” + date/time stamp) to show default tiers and at-risk/approaching indicators for academic assessments across all different assessment makers (iReady, Renaissance, NWEA MAP, etc.). She has written code that will help update the spreadsheet as we integrate new academic assessments. The idea is for DEV to use this spreadsheet as the source of truth for tier recommendations, at-risk, and approaching indicators for academic assessments.
Important note: DEV will always use the .csv file with the most recent date/time stamp in its name from the following SharePoint folder: MTSS Academic Assessment Mapping. For this assessment, the specs below also spell out how default tiers will work, but all of this same information is also in the most recent .csv file.
Reading Settings Kdg-8 Grade
User Story
As an Admin user who is responsible for setting up the tier levels for Reading Assessments in Grades K-8, I need a simple way to select tier levels once for the entire school year so that our testing data integrates over already sorted in the respective tier for each of the testing windows.
UI
The user sees ELA Tab opened or clicks on ELA Tab.
To edit the default settings, user clicks on Edit button.
To cancel edits and restore to default, user clicks on Cancel button.
To save changes and apply settings, user clicks on Save button.
To view information for Percentile Rank, user clicks on or hovers over information icon.
To remove Percentile Rank information, user clicks on Close.
Acceptance Criteria
Follow same navigation and functionality as already built for ELA Tab | Cut Scores | Settings | MTSS Dashboard
iReady data is collected for grades Kindergarten through Grade 8.
iReady data is NOT collected for grades 9-12 at this time.
Default Settings (See image: ELA Tab-View Screen):
Tier 1 : 25% to 100%
Tier 2 : 10% to 24%
Tier 3 : 0% to 9%
Given no changes are made, we will calculate inclusion into each tier from percentile field ( See page: Mutual Content Fields | iReady | MTSS Dashboard) as follows:
Tier 1 contains percentiles with a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 100.
Tier 2 contains percentiles with a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 24.
Tier 3 contains percentile with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 9.
Editing Settings (See image: Edit Button Selected)
Tier 1 always ends with 100% and is not editable.
Tier 1 must have at least a range of 2 percentages so that At Risk indicators can be applied.
Tier 3 always starts with 0% and is not editable.
User must have at least 2 selected for the top range of Tier 3 so that we can apply the Approaching indicator throughout the product.
Drop down contains numbers from 1 to 99.
Edited fields must be all inclusive and mutually exclusive from 1% to 99%
Tier 2 must contain a higher range than Tier 3 and a lower range than Tier 1.
Tier 2 must have at least a range of 2 percentages so that Approaching and At Risk indicators can be applied.
Given edits are made, then we will calculate inclusion into tiers from the percentile field according to the user’s selections.
Given edits have been made to settings, then we will show the admin name and date the changes were made. (See image: Admin Name)
Percentile Rank Icon (See image: icon)
We will use the same information for both Reading and Math.
Tier Notices
Tier notices are provided using Percentile Rank.
Given student’s assessment falls within the Tier 2 Percentile range set in this section and the student does not have an intervention plan (Tier 2 or Tier 3 plan qualifies-user can have a Tier 3 plan for a student who has scored within the Tier 2 ranges), then we will show a Tier 2 Notice.
Given student’s assessment falls within the Tier 2 Percentile range set in this section and the student currently has a Tier 3 plan, then we will NOT send a Tier 2 Notice.
Given
Approaching and At Risk indicators Using Percentile Rank selections. (Reading and Math)
iReady uses Percentile Rank field to determine appearance of Approaching indicators.
Given Tier 2 ranges are in the default setting (10% to 24%) and the student has a percentile rank of 23 or 24, then we show the Approaching Tier 1 indicator.
Given Tier 3 ranges are in the default setting (0% to 9%) and the student has a percentile rank of 8 or 9, then we show the Approaching Tier 2 indicator.
We apply same logic for any customizations admin user has made to settings.
iReady uses Percentile Rank field to determine appearance of At Risk indicators.
Given Tier 1 ranges are in the default settings (25% to 100%) and the student has a percentile rank of 25 or 26, then we show the At Risk of Tier 2 indicator.
Given Tier 2 ranges are in the default setting (10% to 24%) and the student has a percentile rank of 11 or 10, then we will show the At Risk of Tier 3 indicator.
We apply same logic for any customizations admin user has made to settings.
Percentile Rank scores dictate Tier Level Filters.
Percentile Rank scores dictate appearance of tier level color changes in classroom reports when no intervention plan is in place and student’s assessment score indicates that student should have a Tier 2 or Tier 3 plan.
Math Settings Kdg-8th Grade
User Story
As an Admin user who is responsible for setting up the tier levels for Math Assessments in grades K-8, I need a simple way to select tier levels once for the entire school year so that our testing data integrates over already sorted in the respective tier for each of the testing windows.
UI
The user clicks on Math Tab.
To edit the default settings, user clicks on Edit button.
To cancel edits and restore to default, user clicks on Cancel button.
To save changes and apply settings, user clicks on Save button.
To view information for Percentile Rank, user clicks on or hovers over information icon.
To remove Percentile Rank information, user clicks on Close.
Acceptance Criteria
Apply rules shown above for Reading.
