A2i Assessment Data Displays
There are three main data visualizations for our teacher dashboard display. One reflects usage for a user on the platform, and the other three display aggregated visualizations of the assessment data for a classroom. The teacher also has access to individual student data on the Progress Monitor page. A description of each of these data displays is included below, along with a screenshot of the actual visualization.
Teacher Usage Report This display reports a user’s weekly usage time within A2i. This graph can be used to help guide login patterns to align with ideal teacher usage patterns seen in our research studies. Previous data on software usage averaged out to about 10–20 minutes per week spent on A2i. In fact, analysis of A2i teacher usage results has revealed that users who were consistently spending time on the A2i platform had better student outcomes (Connor et al., 2013). Average Growth Rate The second dashboard display provides a visualization of the classroom-level growth rate. This panel displays the average performance of students on the L2M assessment across the school year as well as a Research Classrooms comparison line as a reference point. A2i was designed to support the needs of all students, regardless of where they begin the school year in reading ability and, with the right amount and type of instruction, will ensure that all students make gains. This graph allows a teacher to track that progress at a classroom level before focusing on specific A2i groups or individual students.
