Student Standards Progress Graph

The standards progress graph displays student performance on the standard.

For example, if the standard was assessed on five assignments, all five standards scores the student received are displayed. If the calculation method is set to the three most recent scores, those scores are indicated in green on the graph. The dotted line on the graph represents the calculated score.

• Most Recent X – The weighted average of the most recent standard scores where X is the number of scores defined in the Standard Grade Calculations (under Settings)
• Mean – The average of the standard scores
• Median – The middle of the standard scores (half of the scores are higher than this number and half are lower)
• Mode – The most common standard score achieved. In the event of multiple modes, PowerTeacher Pro selects the highest value.
• Wt. Mean – The average of the standard scores based weighted by assignment total value (points possible x weight).
• Highest – The highest standard score

These statistical values indicate how successfully the student mastered a specific standard. If any of the values are low, it may indicate that the student needs additional practice on the skill or concept, or you may want to revise the assignment.

In the summary area, select Show More to display further details of the assignment or standard.
