73
What is State Analysis?

• Through the State Analysis module, Edusoft users
  can generate reports which disaggregate State
  Test data in a variety of ways (ethnicity, ed
  program, gender, etc)
• Users can create Intervention Groups to track a
  specific group of students over time
• Users can also use the Comparison Tool and the
  Logitudinal Tool to compare groups in the same
  year, or over time

74
How does it work?

• Roster information is supplied to Edusoft from
  the district SIS
• State assessment data is taken from state CDs
  that the district supplies to Edusoft
• All users types have access to the State Analysis
  functionality, but access to data is informed by
  system permissions
• District Administrators have access to all
  schools within the district
• School Administrators have access to all students
  within their school
• Teachers have access to the students on their
  roster

Correct, and then shows how that information
relates to the state information overall
86
Creating an Individual Report
First, using the drop down menu, select the
assessment on which youd like to run your report
Second, select Individual Report by clicking on

  assessment (You will select the students from a
  list)
• Generate a reports for all the students who took
  the assessment (You will not be able to select
  from a student list. A report for each student
  will automatically be generated.)

For this example, lets choose option A and click
continue
89
Select one or more students from the list by
clicking the check boxes next to each students
name. Click continue when done to generate the
report. (If you opted to create a report for all

Cluster Scores
Information about the State Average, State
Minimally Proficient, and State Minimally
Advanced shows where the student compares to the
State averages
Points Possible, Raw Score, and Percent Correct
are shown for each cluster area.
91
Understanding the CAHSEE Options
Summative combines all the scores from all the
CAHSEE administrations
The dates correspond to the administration dates
for the CAHSEE
92
How the scores display on an individual student
report
This student took the CAHSEE ELA section in March
and did not pass. The student took it again in
May and did not pass. The highest non-passing
score is included in the CAHSEE Summative
93
Another Example
94
Intervention Groups
95
Intervention Groups
To create an Intervention Group, click on the
Intervention Groups link or icon
96
Select an assessment, and click continue
For this example, lets select CST
97
Using the drop down menus, select the School(s),
Exam, and Grades for the report

performance on a specific standard.
Select the standards for your intervention group,
and click continue.
99
Select the students to include in the
intervention group. You can chose to include all
students, or you can base the group on a specific
performance criteria
This option will allow you to select students
based on a specific performance threshold
This option will allow you to select students
based on a specific increase or decrease since
taking a previous assessment
100
For this example, the option to determine
intervention based on performance from one
assessment to the next has been selected. This
screen allows you to enter specific criteria.
Using the drop down menus, select performance
criteria. For this example, lets select
students whose performance has increased at least
10.
101
This is your Intervention Group. This group
includes all students in the Class Size
Reduction Full Day Educational Program who had
at least a 10 increase in performance from one
assessment to the next.
Once the Intervention Group has been determined,
it can be further refined by selecting other
demographic options. For example, if we now
sorted by Gender, we could get a group that only
included the girls in this group.
Scores in salmon indicate performance which is
below the Performance Threshold.
The Intervention Group can be saved as a Custom
Group for use on future reporting

Its a Cross Sectional analysis so it compares
how last years students performed compared to
this years students on the same test
This view shows performance changes, grouped by
school from the 03-04 CST to the 04-05
administration of the same assessment
Use the drop down menus to drill down to more
specific information
115
This is the same grouping of students, broken
down by ethnicity
Performance of Alaskan Indian sub-population has
risen by 28.3 points
This shows us that 32 students took the 03-04
assessment, and 36 students took the 04-05
administration of the assessment. A matched
group would give us the most accurate indicator
of progress for this sub-population

Hands on Activity

• Using the Performance Band Report and Item
  Response Reports that youve generated for a
  recent assessment, identify the standard that was
  most challenging for your students.
• Which standard had the most students performing
  at the lowest performance band?
• Following the Quick Guide Defining Intervention
  Groups Based on Benchmark Exams, create an
  intervention group based on student performance
  on the same assessment. Create your group to
  reflect the list of students that scored in the
  lowest performance band for the standard listed
  in Step 1.
• How many students scored in that band?
• Which teacher had the most students in this
  Intervention Group?
• Narrow down the Intervention Group to only
  include only female students.
• How many students are now in this Intervention
  Group?
• Which teacher had the most students in this
  Intervention Group?

• Tips
• Write the standards on a copy of the test before
  aligning.
• Have the answer key in front of you.
• Click the Save button frequently
• (system will log out after 30 minutes of

• Circumvents self-registration flow which is
  harder for younger students.

  taking test outside of class if the testing
  window is open for more than 24 hours.
• Cons

  getting tickets to students.
• Disallows students from selecting a test to take
  from a list of tests.
• Disallows students from seeing their test results
  if not used in conjunction with user name and
  password.

399

  log in and see multiple tests assigned to them.
• Allows students to log in and see their test
  results.
• Cons
• Susceptible to cheating, since students can share
  logins with others.
• Requires initial self-registration by students.

Current Roadblocks

  preventing full utilization of Edusoft that
  currently exist in your school/district.

405
Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings

• Training Suggestions
• Dedicate one hour a week in regularly scheduled
  meetings to teacher training.
• Use the Edusoft sample agenda for each module
  found in the Implementation Support section of
  the Library and break the agenda down into 1 hour
  topics.
• Order these topics in order of importance.
• Create a schedule for training topics for an
  entire month at a time.
• If you only have one two hour session, chose the
  one or two most important training topics from
  the sample agendas to cover.

406
Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings

• Determine your desired outcome.
• Consider these questions
• What do you want teachers to know when they leave
  this training?
• Is there a district mandated use for Edusoft that
  they all need to be trained in?
• Why have you scheduled this training?

407
Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings

• Training suggestion
• Think about the original reason why Edusoft was
  brought into your district. Do all of your
  teachers know why they have it? Do they know how
  to use all the Edusoft features to reach this
  desired outcome?

408
Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings

• Set Concrete Goals
• Set goals for each of your training sessions in
  order to reach your desired outcomes for the
  training.
• What do you want to accomplish at each session?
