  1. Using the Data From AIMSweb

  2. To view your students’ scores: • Click on “My Classes” tab

  3. The current Benchmark period will display by default. • To go back and view previous benchmarking data, use the ‘timeframe’ drop down menu and click the benchmarking time period you want. • Then click the ‘Go’ button to select.

  4. Use the gray sub-tabs to choose the specific measure that you want to view. • AIMSweb TEL - Early Literacy • AIMSweb TEN - Early Numeracy • Reading - Reading Fluency (R-CBM) & MAZE • Mathematics - Computation (M-COMP) and Concepts & Applications (M-CAP)

  5. Report Types • Class Distribution by Scores and Percentile Report. This report will list your students from highest to the lowest in a single area. This will give you the “Rainbow Chart”. • This will give you the “Rainbow Chart” in all measures for a given area (such as reading, mathematics, early literacy, or early numeracy)

  6. Report Types • NEW REPORT • Available for some measures. • Will provide instructional recommendations from Pearson materials.

  7. Comparisons • You can compare your students to students within your school or to national norms. • To choose national norms, pull up a report. • Beside Report Options, click on “Expand.” • Then click on Criterion. • Using the drop-down menu, choose “National (area) 2010-2011

  8. Buttons • Use the green back button to go back. (When it is present, always use it, not the back browser button) • E-Mail button allows you to email the report to someone. • PDF button makes the report a PDF. Before printing, make the report a PDF.

  9. Individual Student Reports • Before looking at individual student reports, review the norm tables and growth rates. • These growth rates will help you determine if students who are below average are growing at a rate that will catch them up with their peers. • On the individual student reports, the student’s growth rate will be reported as his or her rate of improvement.

  10. Aggregate Norm Table • To find the growth rates, you look at the aggregate norm table. • Directions for locating the aggregate norm table can be found on the AIMSweb wiki, under support materials. • http://chathamcountyaimsweb.wikispaces.com/Support+Materials

  11. Finding the individual student reports. • To view all measures in a particular area (such as early literacy, early numeracy, reading, math) to see if the student is growing, click on “Report” under the column Pathway for that student. • To view a student’s rate of improvement in a particular measure, click on the student’s score for that measure.

  12. How to look for growth • This student is growing in computation, but has not had any growth in concepts & applications. • However, even though the student is growing in computation, the student is still below average • This report was obtain, by clicking on the word “Report” under the pathway column.

  13. Looking at same student further in computation by clicking on the student’s computation score. • Here we see the student is growing, but is still below average. • If you look at the table below the chart, you can find at what rate this student is growing. • This student is growing at 0.4 pts a week. However, looking at the growth rates (see the slide), the average student grows at 0.8 pts. per week. • At this rate, this student will continue to get further and further behind.

  14. Now What? • After looking at your students’ reports, things to consider include: • Students who are below average and are not growing at a faster rate than their peers need an intervention plan, if they do not already have one. • If the student already has an intervention plan, then the intensity of the interventions need to be increased.

  15. Additional things to consider • How can you differentiate instruction for students who are above average, but are not growing? • What circumstances may have caused a student’s growth to decline, for a student who has a downward growth line? • Is there additional data that is needed to determine the student’s needs? Look at the Comprehensive Assessment Plan on the AIMSWeb wiki.
