Benefits

How can I use this report?

The Student Differentiation report allows schools to analyse student groups by performance in reading and numeracy assessment scores by stage and syllabus outcomes. Up to five clusters will be created, automatically grouping students with similar scores. Student results are included to analyse each cluster at levels of domain (reading or numeracy), area of learning and stage.

What should I look for?

The report provides automatically generated suggestions of potential student grouping based on performance in the Check-in assessment. Visual representations of these groups, or clusters, can be explored by scrolling down to the tables for more detail. This report is intended to assist with planning for the differentiation of teaching.

View the charts

Your selections will automatically be applied to all charts.

% of Questions Correct – Grouped by Class and Domain

The first graph provides a high-level snapshot of the clusters representing groups of students based on similar % correct for selected roll class/es in each domain:

These clusters are represented by circles for each grouping. Hovering over each circle will bring up a text box detailing the number in the group and the average % correct. The circles are colour coded to correspond with individual students in the graph below.

Student Performance by Syllabus Outcome

This table shows details for every student, colour-coded by their group/cluster. Student names display on the left side of this table.

The details include the correct response percentage by Area of Learning and Stage for each domain of the selected scholastic year.

% of Questions Correct – Grouped by Class, Area of Learning and Stage

This interactive visual represents groups by percentage correct for the questions assessing each Stage. There are additional options to select Domain, Area of Learning and Stage. These options can be changed by selecting the headings across the top of the report and will result in different groups being shown. The names of students will be arranged under each group in a table to the right of the visual.

In the example image below, students have been grouped based on their responses to the Reading assessment, for items related to the Processes Area of Learning at the level of a Stage 2 syllabus outcome.
