This replaces the “selection tree” in the old system which asked users to select grade and subject but did not provide any data.

7. Performance Reports: Subject Performance Users will see the same data that were available in the old performance reports (Average Scale Score at This Time Last Year, Count, etc. in addition to what is shown) District users will see performance data for the district and its schools; school users will see data for a school and each teacher; etc. The distribution of students across performance levels will be shown graphically to allow easier comparison between groups Users will be able to view the data for subgroups by choosing an option from the “Breakdown By” dropdown

The buttons on the control panel will update to identify the data the user will be accessing. This will help users answer “who” questions. For example: Who is struggling in algebra?
