From your Admin's dashboard you can view all of your teachers' data in one place. The "Team Tracker" section allows you to see and compare progress - by teacher, class, and individual students - on formatives and against standards. The "Progress" section provides you with a more detailed view into your teachers' and students' trends and progress on standards over time. And the "Teachers Report" section enables you to view usage and activity for individual teachers and gives you access to acting on their behalf in their classes and formatives.

Let's take a closer look at each of these sections:

Within the Team Tracker section you can navigate to view results by formatives, or by standards.

Notes:

Click on the "totals" percentage for a specific student to pull up an overview of their performance on all the formatives matching your filters. The data will be presented on the right-side panel, and you can continue to click into each to view the students' submission of the formative.

You can also click directly on the student's result on a specific formative within the table to pull up the student's submission on the right-side panel.

Each standards strand will be listed at the top of the table. Clicking on the strand will expand the view to the specific standards nested within it, and similarly clicking the each standard will exapnd the view to the sub-standards as well (if applicable):

Click on the "totals" percentage for a specific teacher or a specific student to pull up additional information on their performance on standards. The data will be presented on the right-side panel, and you can continue to click into each standard to view the specific questions that were tagged to that standard as well as the students' responses to them.

You can even click on "View Progress" at the bottom of the panel to navigate directly to the "Progress" section.

Pro-tip!

If you run the same tracker report repeatedly you can add a quick link to a specific report (along with the settings defined on it) to any folder in your account.

To add a quick link:

First, use the Team Management section to confirm that all teachers are showing correctly in your organization. Any teachers who are "invited" instead of "verified" will need to accept their invitation to the Gold organization in order to use all the features!

If all teachers are correctly associated with your org, verify that their classes are also correctly associated:

Teachers are prompted to select the grade, subject, and org when creating a class in Formative. If they did not add an org, or added the wrong one, they can fix this on the "Classes" tab by selecting a class, clicking "Edit", and choosing the correct team under "Org".

Make sure that you have adjusted the Date Range filter to the date range containing the formatives you want to track. The tracker filters by most recent submission and defaults to the last 14 days.

Co-teachers will not appear in the tracker, even if they have created and/or assigned formatives. Anything assigned by co-teachers will show under the primary teacher for the class in your tracker. This helps prevent duplication of class data when viewing the tracker.

If a teacher has created or assigned formatives, but they have not yet been submitted and graded, the teacher's name will not show up in the tracker. Once the assignments have been submitted (or force submitted) and graded, the teacher's name will appear with the scores.

While the Team Tracker's Standards view provides an overview of your students and teachers performance on standards at any given moment, on specific formatives; the Progress section allows for a more in-depth look on their progress on standards over time!

Standards Progress will present trends in relation to former semesters and even years, and will allow you to create in-depth reports.

The Standards Progress Over Time (SPOT) report is a valuable way to analyze student and teacher progress when responding to different question types and tasks tagged to your standards. Because Formative is an instructional tool, consider how teachers are using the tool in their classroom when viewing responses. The data shown on this report provides you with a lens through which you can view understanding and progress based on questions that are asked by the teacher on an individual student level, an individual class level, or an individual teacher level , but we recommend that this report be used as one of multiple measures of student progress.

In the Progress section:

The report will be presented on the right side of the screen.

On the report generated, you will see a list of all the standards the teacher(s) tagged on formatives that fit your filters.

In the example below, a report was generated to view all standards tagged to formatives that were assign to one of the teacher's classes in the last half year:

# Graded Questions:

Any questions tagged to a standard that have both a student response and a grade.

Selected Date Average:

A teacher or student's number of total points awarded divided by the number of all possible points for all questions associated with a particular standard during the selected date range.

Trend:

How a teacher or student's average on the last 25% of total possible points on a standard compares to their average on the first 75% of total possible points during the selected date range.

For example: If a teacher's average on the last 25% of total possible points on standard "ELA.1.R.1" is higher than their average on the first 75% of total possible points, that teacher is trending upwards on standard "ELA.1.R.1".

Click the down carats to the left of each standard to drill down into sub-standards data.

Click on the far right carat to pull up a more in-depth view of the specific standard or sub-standard chosen.

From the in-depth view, you can see how a class or a group of classes by the same teacher averaged on each standard or sub-standard on specific dates. Under each date you will see a summary of how many questions were tagged to that specific standard or sub-standard at that time.

Click the carat to the left of the date, or the respective bar within the chart, to reveal the list of formatives in which the teacher has tagged that standard or sub-standard that were submitted on that date.

Click a formative's title to open it in a new window. This is a great tool to look at the specific questions and responses on those formatives to inform yourself of any instructional corrections needed.

Set a reference line by entering a number into the box below the bar graph for a visual of how students, classes or teachers are doing compared to any baseline, such as instructional goals, school averages, or district averages.

Has the teacher tagged formative questions to standards? Data on this report is drawn from standards that have been tagged to individual formative questions. If teachers have not added a standards set and tagged questions to standards, or if a student has not taken any formatives that have standards tagged, no data will appear.

If your data are not continually trending in the same direction for students, consider the following:

View activity and tracker for each teacher across your organization, and access their classes and formatives. You will be able to perform different actions within these, including transferring ownership of classes from one teacher to another.

Go to the Teachers Report section and a full list of teachers in your organization will appear on the left side of the screen. For each teacher you willsee an overview of the amount of formatives assigned by the teacher and when they were last seen in the system.

Using the buttons at the top right corner you can sort the overview list at your convenience by name, by amount of formatives created or by most recently seen. You can further filter your results to specific teams, subjects, grades, and status.

You can also use the search bar to locate an individual teacher by name. Simply start typing in and click Entr/Return to bring up the search results (to go back to the full list, delete the keywords you entered previously into the search bar and click "Entr/Return" again)

Click on an individual teacher's name to bring up their individual report on the right side panel, with a list of all the formatives they have created, and performance data for the ones that were assigned and have student responses in them.

From here you can:
