The circle charts at the top of the page display the average diagnostic results for your class.
Each card is associated with one skill group. A skill group aggregates multiple specific skills. For example, the skill group "Prepositional Phrases" contains three skills: 1. Subject-Verb Agreement 2. Prepositional Phrases 3. Adjectives, Adverbs, & Prepositional Phrases
The label that says the number of students that need practice indicates which students are not yet proficient in the skill group
Proficiency means the students got all of the skills in the skill group correct
Need practice means the students who got at least one skill incorrect in the skill group

Proficiency means the student got all of the skills in the skill group correct
Partial proficiency means the student got at least one skill correct and at least one skill incorrect
No proficiency means the student did not get any of the skills correct
Individual skills grading
With each skill group, the number of skills correct will be displayed for each student
Click on a cell box to see how a student performed in specific skills
Fully correct means the students got the skill correct every time it was used
Partially correct means the student got the skill correct at least once and at least once the skill was incorrect
Not present means that the student did not use the skill
The number of correct and incorrect skills counts the instances in the diagnostics in which a skill was triggered
Assigning a growth diagnostic
Measure your students' growth by assigning a growth diagnostic. The growth diagnostics work like a post-test and assess your students on the same skills as in the baseline diagnostics, but with different questions.
You can assign a growth diagnostic as soon as your students complete the corresponding baseline diagnostic. However, we recommend waiting until your students have completed some or all of their recommended practice. The more recommendations they've completed, the more growth you're likely to see on the growth diagnostic!
You can assign a growth diagnostic from the Assign Activities tab, clicking on "Assess student writing with a diagnostic", or through the sidebar on the left-hand side of the screen when viewing a specific Diagnostic Report.
