Read the Class summary report for a Growth Diagnostic

The Class summary report for a Growth Diagnostic displays a whole class's growth in their proficiency for each of the writing skills assessed by the Growth Diagnostic and the corresponding Baseline Diagnostic.

Each card on the Class summary report is associated with a writing skill assessed by the Growth Diagnostic and the corresponding Baseline Diagnostic.

The leftmost circle chart indicates the percentage of students who submitted a correct response for the prompts assessing the corresponding writing skill based on the Baseline Diagnostic data. The rightmost circle chart indicates the percentage of students who submitted a correct response for the prompts assessing the corresponding writing skill based on the Growth Diagnostic data.

The number at the bottom of a card on the Class summary report indicates the number of students who were not proficient in a writing skill and need practice in the writing skill.

The percentage in the bottom right corner of a card on the Class summary report is calculated by subtracting the leftmost circle chart percentage from the rightmost circle chart percentage percentage and is the percentage of students who demonstrated growth in a writing skill when comparing their performance on the Growth Diagnostic to their performance on the Baseline Diagnostic.

Tip ๐Ÿ’ก

If all the students who completed the Baseline Diagnostic have not yet completed the corresponding Growth Diagnostic, you will notice that the percentage for the Post proficient circle chart for a card on the Class summary report will fluctuate. Once all the students who have completed the Baseline Diagnostic complete the corresponding Growth Diagnostic, the percentage will stabilize.
