Data Source: Check-in assessment

Updated: Daily (during assessment window)

Principals, school leaders, and teachers can use this report to explore how the cohort has performed by Domains (e.g. Reading & Numeracy) and view performance compared to school, SSSG, and state. Directors, Educational Leadership, and Executive Directors can view all schools within their network.

Benefits

How can I use this report?

This report allows schools to analyse cohort performance in each item of the Check-in assessment by stage, syllabus outcomes, and learning progressions. The report compares cohort scores against the school in the first instance and will compare against SSSG (statistically similar school group) and the State once all schools have completed their assessments, and the results have been statistically analysed. Please note that the SSSG may contain different schools from those that would be present in a statewide assessment as the Check-in is an opt-in assessment and does not include all schools in NSW.

More information can be found on the Check-in assessment webpage.

What should I look for?

The report provides cohort performance by individual items and includes item-level details. It allows you to identify cohort strengths and areas for growth as well as students who may need support in specific areas. The learning progression indicators can assist you in identifying skills the cohort was able to demonstrate during the assessment. Schools can use this report to compare students in the school that have completed the assessments to SSSG and state following analysis of the results from all participating schools.

Summary

This section of the report will provide a quick snapshot of cohort performance compared to statistically similar schools and the State DoE for participating schools in each domain.

Scaled scores are based on a weighted average of items in each domain and compared against the school, SSSG, and State.

The number of students who participated in the assessment, the average time taken and the maximum possible score in the selected area of learning are displayed on the right-hand side of the Summary.

Performance by Syllabus, Stage & Syllabus Outcome

This bar chart provides the overview of cohort performance by Syllabus (objective of English syllabus and strand of mathematics syllabus), Stage and Syllabus Outcome in each domain for the selected scholastic year:

Cohort % Correct by Question

This section provides 100% column bar chart to display cohort percent of questions (items) correct (and incorrect) for each item in each domain for the selected scholastic year:

Question Details

This table displays all questions in the assessment and the cohort’s % correct response to each question (item) along with item level details, including links to suggested teaching strategies, syllabus outcome, literacy or numeracy learning progression level and indicator description for each domain of the selected scholastic year.
