How do I read the Assign Growth Diagnostic table?
The Assign Growth Diagnostic table shows one row per student.
Each row summarizes how that student is progressing through their assigned practice recommendation activities and whether Quill considers them ready to take the Growth Diagnostic.
Practiced Skills: The number of assigned practice recommendation activity packs that a student has fully or partially practiced.
Not Practiced Skills: The number of assigned practice recommendation activity packs that a student has not yet started practicing.
Not Assigned Skills: The number of practice recommendation activity packs a student has not yet been assigned, including skill practice that a student did not need based on their diagnostic results.
Activities' Average Score: A student's average score across the practice recommendation activities they have completed.
Activities Completed: The total number of practice recommendation activities a student has finished out of the number assigned.
Growth Assignment Recommendation: Quill's recommendation for whether the student is ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic.
Ready: Indicates that a student has completed all the practice recommendation activities for their assigned skills and is ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic.
Eligible: Indicates that a student has completed all the practice recommendation activities for at least one but not all of their assigned skills, and is eligible to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic as they will show growth in the skills for which they have completed all practice recommendation activities.
Not Yet Ready: Indicates that a student has not yet completed all the practice recommendation activities for any of their assigned skills, and is not yet ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic.
Assign Growth Diagnostic: The status of whether a student is ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic, whether the student has been assigned the Growth Diagnostic, and if the Growth Diagnostic has been assigned, whether the Growth Diagnostic has been scheduled or published for the student.
You can click a student's row to expand it and see a per-skill breakdown. The expanded view lists each of the diagnostic sequence’s skills alongside three details:
Practice Status: Describes how far the student has progressed on that skill's practice.
Fully Practiced: The student was assigned the practice recommendation activities for the skill, and the student has completed all of the activities.
Partially Practiced: The student was assigned the practice recommendation activities for the skill, and the student has completed some but not all of the activities.
Not Practiced: The student was assigned the practice recommendation activities for the skill, but the student has not yet completed any of the activities.
Not Assigned: The student was not assigned the practice recommendation activities for the skill.
Activities Completed: The number of practice recommendation activities the student has completed for the skill.
Activities' Average Score: The student's average score on the practice recommendation activities they have completed for the skill.
How do I assign the Growth Diagnostic to students?
Use the Assign Growth Diagnostic column to assign Growth Diagnostic to students.
The buttons above the Assign Growth Diagnostic table can be used to select students:
The Select all button checks every student's Assign Growth Diagnostic checkbox.
The Select all recommended button checks the checkbox only for students Quill has marked as ready.
The Deselect all button clears your selections.
You can also check or uncheck any individual student's box in the Assign Growth Diagnostic column. When at least one student is selected, the Assign button becomes active.
Clicking the Assign button assigns the Growth Diagnostic to all selected students.
If there is not yet an existing activity pack containing the Growth Diagnostic, a new activity pack containing the Growth Diagnostic will be created and automatically assigned to every selected student. In addition, the Growth Diagnostic will be published immediately.
If there is an existing activity pack containing the Growth Diagnostic, the selected students will be added to the existing activity pack.
An Assign Growth Diagnostic cell shows a student’s status: whether the student is ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic and whether the Growth Diagnostic has been scheduled or published for the student.
Whether a student is ready to be assigned the Growth Diagnostic is indicated by the student’s cell’s background color.
A cell with a green background indicates that the student is ready for the Growth Diagnostic.
A cell with a white background color indicates that the student is not ready for the Growth Diagnostic.
Whether the Growth Diagnostic has been assigned to a student, and, if so, whether it has been published, is indicated by the cell’s text and icons.
A cell with an empty checkbox indicates that the student has not yet been assigned the Growth Diagnostic.
A cell with a Scheduled date and time indicates that the student has been assigned the Growth Diagnostic and that it has not yet been published.
A cell with a Published date and time indicates that the student has been assigned the Growth Diagnostic and that it has been published.
Tip 💡
If you have scheduled the Growth Diagnostic ahead of time, select the "If I have already scheduled the growth diagnostic, publish it immediately when skills are fully practiced" checkbox to allow a Growth Diagnostic to be published immediately for a student if they complete all their assigned practice recommendation activities before the publish date.
Please note that by default, the If I have already scheduled the growth diagnostic, publish it immediately when skills are fully practiced checkbox is selected.
