AssessmentType

• Not sure if it will be used as a heading- (Assessment) with the Assessment name beneath it or if the Assessment Name will be shown alone--need design

• May be listed in the drop down for Data Sources-Note different types of tests taken: Enterprise, Non-Enterprise, Progress Monitoring, or Grade 3 with Varchar(50) this impacts what the drop down contains. Question: How does user name and update tests taken or does it happen automatically and a new image/line item is added to drop down and user’s dashboard?

• The assessment the student took (Contents under AssessmentType will show here)

• The type of test taken: Enterprise, Non-Enterprise,
Progress Monitoring or Grade3 (for 3rd Grade
Reading Proficiency).
Users can mark a test as a Progress Monitoring
test within the software; any other Enterprise tests
taken should be considered a Benchmark test.

ScaledScore

Scaled Score

• Scaled Score is seen by user as a heading and beneath it is the scaled score for the student.

• Suggest info icon to explain scaled score to user

  • Information Icon reads: Scaled scores range from 0 to 1400.

• Scaled Score ranges from (0 to 1400) It is the Enterprise Scale,

• Data type: Integer

GradeEquivalent

Grade Equivalent

• Grade Equivalent is seen by user as a heading and beneath it is a grade equivalency for the student.

• Suggest info icon to explain grade equivalent

  • Information icon reads: Grade Equivalent is the actual grade level where the student performed on this assessment.

• Grade Equivalent (GE) score ranges from 0.0 to 12.9+.

• GE scores preceded by a “greater than” sign (>) is a capped score meaning that the students actual grade level performance is higher than the current grade the student is enrolled.

• Data type: Text

PercentileRank

Percentile

• Percentile is seen by user as a heading and the student’s percentile is shown beneath it for the student.

• Suggest info icon to explain percentile

  • Info icon reads: The percentage of students nationally that got a score equal to or lower than the score of this student.

• The PercentileRank specific to each student will show under the heading: Percentile.

• Percentile scores range from 1 to 99

• Data type: Integer

ExtraTime

• Shown on Student Report

“Yes” if the student was given extra time to
complete the test.

Lexile

Lexile Level

• Lexile Level is seen by user as a heading and the student’s lexile level is shown beneath it.

• Suggest info icon to explain lexile Level

Lexile® ZPD is a ZPD score converted to the
Lexile® scale.
9.14.20: A student must have a grade level
assigned in the program in order to display the
Lexile Score.

InstructionalReadingLevel

• We did not select this category initially.

• I suggest including it because this will help teachers to select the most appropriate intervention using Vizzle materials.

Instructional Reading Level (IRL) is a criterion-
referenced score that is the highest reading level
at which a student is 80% proficient (or higher) at
comprehending material with assistance.
Instructional Reading Levels are:
Pre-Primer (PP)
Primer (P)
1 through 12
Post-High School (PHS

ScreeningPeriodWindowName

• This shows as Fall, Winter, Spring in sample Design; need to incorporate what each district does so need to think about how districts/specific tests may categorize this. Thinking that some tests will have a Fall/Winter/Spring other tests could have First Quarter, Secord Quarter, Third Quarter, Fourth Quarter or something else entirely. Suggest a different placement in design closer to the test given.

• Where will the ScreeningPeriodWindowName be in the design?

RenaissanceBenchmarkCategoryName

• This shows as the name of the test-Example: Star Reading and is a header for information contained beneath it. -part of the design

• Shown in graphic representation. For example: Urgent Intervention, Intervention, On Watch, At or Above, or N/A

• Suggest account settings so user can decide their own words to put on the graphic to represent their state identification of proficiency categories “standardize customization”

Tiering will be based exclusively on the most recent value of the RenaissanceBenchmarkCategoryName column for each student, where most recent is determined by the CompletedDateLocal column and each student is identified by StudentUserID column.

Renaissance default benchmark categories; these
are standard across all Renaissance customers.
At/Above Benchmark: At/Above 40 PR

Field Description
On Watch: 25 – 39 PR
Intervention: 10 – 24 PR
Urgent Intervention: Below 10 PR

• Need to input cut scores for different types of state tests so that the right graphic shows.

• N/A shows when student did not take the assessment-empty state-not sure if this is a category provided by Renaissance or one we need to create/include if no values are included in the data set

CompletedDateLocal

• Shows in design with the title of the seasons. Contained within each of the tabs for a cumulative view of all the seasons and in column headings.

• Contained in all dashboards-Admin, Classroom, Student.

• We combine the scores for Star Early Literacy and Star Reading to get one graph.

Used for updating the RenaissanceBenchmarkCategoryName. See Column Definitions document for field description.

CompletedDate converted to the time zone
configured for the site where the assessment was
taken. If there is a discrepancy between these two
values, CompletedDate (which is stored as UTC)
is considered authoritative.
Datetime

StudentUserID

• Not sure if this is part of our design that user sees. We show student ID in top part of the design but that may be a different ID than this value.

• Need to map students correctly with number for calculating test results and our Student ID numbers used in Rethink.

• Note the trademark for Renaissance Learning.

• Not the caution for imported/manual entry

Used for identifying specific student for inclusion of most recent CompletedDateLocal and RenaissanceBenchmarkCategoryName

SATBenchmarkCategory

• This is an assessment type that would show either under the heading: Assessment or alone such as SAT Benchmark

• SAT is for older students--maybe show on a design

• These contain subcategories: each with a cut score

• Levels include: At/Above Benchmark, Below Benchmark

• We would need to show cut scores and write logic:

  • Given StudentUserID has a score equal to or greater than X in the Renaissance Field SATBenchmarkCategory, then we show At/Above Benchmark

  • Link to SAT Benchmark Cut Scores:
