State Standards - Class Report

The State Standards - Class Report shows estimates of students' mastery of their state's grade-level standards or the Common Core State Standards. The report is designed to group small groups of students, such as a class, by their estimated mastery of each state standard, so that the teacher can group students for instruction.

There are two ways to begin printing the State Standards - Class Report; use whichever method you prefer, then go to step 1:

From the Star Early Literacy Reports page

   Select Students

   Use the drop-down list to choose all the students in a specific class, or click Students, Classes, or Groups to choose specific students, classes, or groups.

   "Groups" refers to groups of students that have been created specifically for reporting purposes.
   

   • When selecting specific students, you will see a checklist of all students enrolled in Star Early Literacy classes. Check each student you want on the report, or check the Student box at the top of the column to select all of them.
   • When selecting specific classes, you will see a checklist of all Star Early Literacy classes. Check each class you want on the report, or check the Class box at the top of the column to select all of them.
   • When selecting specific groups, you will see a checklist of all student groups in Star Early Literacy classes. Check each group you want on the report, or check the Group box at the top of the column to select all of them.

   Reporting Period

   The State Standards - Class report shows data from test scores spanning a 30-day period. Enter the date you want to use as the end of this 30-day span. For example, if you choose April 15 as the date, the report will show data from all Star Early Literacy tests taken between March 17–April 15.

   

   Select Standards to Show

   Choose which standards will be shown on the report: the assessment standards for your own state, or the Common Core State Standards, which is a diverse group of standards for reading practice that has been adopted by multiple states. (The name of the state standards will vary depending on your state.)

   If your state has no assessment standards, the Common Core State Standards will be used.

   

   Show Projected Growth

   Projected growth is an estimate of how much improvement a student or group of students should experience between the current date and a future date based on Star Early Literacy test results to date.

   The end of the school year is the default date, but a different date can be selected; you can also choose not to include this data in the report.

   If you enter a custom date for Show Projected Growth that is earlier than the date picked for the Reporting Period, then growth cannot be calculated for some or all of the students.

   

   Use Trend Score

   Choose whether to use the trend score or the student's actual Scaled Score from the most recent test to determine the student's suggested skills.

   

   Group By

   Choose how to group the information on the report: by grade, teacher, or class.

   Note: This report uses both the Group By and Sort By options; on the report, the Group By option is applied first.

   

   Sort By

   Choose how to sort information on the report: by students' rank or name (alphabetical order).

   Note: This report uses both the Group By and Sort By options; on the report, the Group By option is applied first.

   

   Page Break

   Use this option to put the different standards (chosen in the Select Standards to Show option) on separate pages.

   

   Print Report Options

   Use this option to print a list of the options you've chosen on the report. If you decide to run the report again at a later date, you can refer to this list of options to make sure you're using the same ones.

2. Click View Report when you are finished choosing options.
3. Star Early Literacy will generate the report. When it's ready, the report will open in Adobe Reader, or your default PDF reader.
