Andrew Davey at Insight (@insightHQ; world wide web.insighttracking.com) has been busy building a very peachy, intuitive interface for the quick uploading of standardised test scores into Progress Banking concern and Insight, and analysis of the data.
Equally stated previously, the aim of Progress Depository financial institution is to provide schools with a simple, online system that will capture any standardised exam data from any provider and mensurate progress between any ii points. The sort of data that could be uploaded and analysed includes:
- NFER tests
- GL progress tests
- CAT4
- PUMA/PIRA
- STAR Cess
- KS1 scaled scores
- KS2 practice SATS results
- KS2 actual SATS results
- Reception baseline scores
Ultimately, we want to be able to build upwardly enough data to enable the calculation of VA betwixt any ii points. This volition involve a DfE-style calculation whereby pupils are placed into prior attainment groups based on a previous assessment, and their score on a following assessment is compared to the boilerplate score of pupils in the same prior attainment group. This could exist from reception to KS1, or from KS1 to KS2, or from Y1 autumn to Y5 spring, or Y3 entry to Y6 SATS (useful for junior schools). In theory, if we get enough data, we can measure progress between whatever ii points. The progress scores will be shown for pupils, key groups and cohorts, for reading and maths (and possibly SPaG if yous are testing that too). Past measuring progress using standardised tests, it is hoped schools will terminate reinventing levels and use instructor cess purely in the classroom, for determinative purposes.
Until we reach the betoken where we have plenty data to summate VA, we will instead rails changes in standardised scores or percentile rank for cohorts, groups and pupils (bearing in mind that standardised scores do not e'er go up, and no change is oftentimes fine).
The organisation involves a three step process:
- Upload CTF (it is secure and GDPR compliant)
- Upload test scores
- Analyse data
Information technology is adequately quick to do. Once a CTF file has been uploaded, users can and so upload test scores via a unproblematic procedure that allows them to copy and paste data onto the screen.
And then paste the names and chose the social club of surname and forename. This will enable the system to match pupils to those already in the organisation:
So validate the data. Whatever pupils that don't match will be flagged and can be matched manually.
we can then select the assessment for which we want to upload scores for this particular accomplice:
and add the scores on the side by side screen, again by copying and pasting from a spreadsheet:
That gets the data into the organisation (yous tin can retrospectively upload data for previous years and terms by the way) and all we need to exercise now is analyse it. This is washed via a simple pivot tabular array tool within the organization. The following screen shows summary of year five'south NFER tests scores for fall and summertime term broken downwards by central group. There are various options to select cohorts, showtime and cease points, assessments, columns and rows values, and cell calculations. Notation that the progress column currently shows change in standardised score, and the programme is to movement that to a VA measure when enough data is bachelor.
And finally, past clicking on a cell, we can drill downwards to student level; and by clicking on a progress cell we tin can access a clickable scatter plot, too.
Carmine dots point those pupils whose scores have dropped, and green dots prove those whose scores have gone up. Clicking on the dots will identify the pupil, their previous and current test scores, and progress score between the two points selected. The colours are non intended to be a judgement, more an piece of cake manner to explore the data.
That's a quick bout of the Progress Bank concept, as it currently stands. The upload tool is already bachelor to Insight users, and the pivot table report will be rolled out very soon. Progress Bank, featuring data upload, pin tables and scatter plots, volition be launched as a standalone tool in the Fall term, for those schools that just want to capture and analyse their standardised scores without the full tracking functionality of Insight. It will therefore complement existing systems, and provide a quick and simple fashion of generating progress scores for Ofsted, governors and others.
Prices to exist announced.
