About this report

Information

Data Source: Check-in assessment

Updated: Daily (during assessment window)

Designed for

Principals, school leaders and teachers can use this report to explore how an individual student has performed by Domains (e.g. Reading & Numeracy) and view performance by syllabus, stage and syllabus outcomes for their schools. 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 student performance on each item of the Check-in assessment by stage, syllabus outcomes, and learning progression. The report compares student scores against the school once all students in the school have completed the assessments. The report will also compare student scores against average scores for a Statistically Similar School Group (SSSG) and State following analysis of results for participating schools across NSW. Please note that the SSSG may be different from the usual statewide grouping as the assessment is opt-in and, therefore, does not include all schools.

What should I look for?

The report provides student performance by individual item, with details for each item. You can use the learning progression indicators to identify skills the student was able to demonstrate during the assessment and areas that may require further focus. Schools can use this report to view the performance of a student compared to the average school results. Comparison to SSSG and DoE State percentages will be available following statistical analysis of the results from all participating schools.
