00:00.000 --> 00:11.560
In this video, you'll learn to read three related reports, competencies, which tells you

00:11.560 --> 00:17.520
which standards are weak, DOK levels, which tells you at what level of thinking students

00:17.520 --> 00:25.400
struggle and lexile, which places reading ability on an external scale.

00:25.400 --> 00:33.320
When reports start with competencies, choose your competency framework first.

00:33.320 --> 00:36.200
The whole report is scoped to it.

00:36.200 --> 00:41.400
Competency health summarizes performance across the frameworks top level competencies.

00:41.400 --> 00:46.680
The radar chart compares schools, select two schools in the filters to see them plotted

00:46.680 --> 00:48.380
against each other.

00:48.380 --> 00:53.720
Top three and bottom three competencies give you an immediate priority list.

00:53.720 --> 00:59.720
The competency bar chart shows side-by-side performance across the main competency areas.

00:59.720 --> 01:05.720
The overview table expands from competency to sub-competency, with the standard code beside

01:05.720 --> 01:06.720
each.

01:06.720 --> 01:09.720
This is the move that changes the conversation.

01:09.720 --> 01:12.720
English is weak is not actionable.

01:12.720 --> 01:18.720
Vocabulary acquisition strategies are weak across two schools is, generate AI competency

01:18.720 --> 01:23.320
analysis, produces a written analysis of the competency patterns.

01:23.320 --> 01:27.440
It requires completed assessments with competency scores.

01:27.440 --> 01:30.680
Now DOK levels, depth of knowledge.

01:30.680 --> 01:36.240
The DOK level comparison chart shows performance across the four DOK levels.

01:36.240 --> 01:42.960
The DOK distribution by subject chart shows how DOK levels are spread across different subjects.

01:42.960 --> 01:49.920
For levels, recall, skill and concept, strategic thinking and extended thinking.

01:49.920 --> 01:54.120
This is the report that separates two very different problems.

01:54.120 --> 01:59.280
Strong at recall, but weak at strategic thinking means students know the content, but cannot

01:59.280 --> 02:00.840
yet apply it.

02:00.840 --> 02:04.960
That is a teaching approach problem, not a knowledge gap.

02:04.960 --> 02:10.040
Ascend writes a key takeaway summarizing performance across all four levels.

02:10.040 --> 02:12.240
Finally, Lexile level.

02:12.240 --> 02:14.040
Note the constraint.

02:14.040 --> 02:19.880
Lexile is available for English only and is estimated from completed English assessments.

02:20.320 --> 02:23.440
Without those, the report will tell you so.

02:23.440 --> 02:26.920
So, select English from the subject filter.

02:26.920 --> 02:33.200
Reading measures using the Lexile framework for reading with grade benchmarks from MetaMetrics.

02:33.200 --> 02:38.640
Together these three tell you which standard at what level of thinking and with what reading

02:38.640 --> 02:39.640
demand.

02:39.640 --> 02:41.640
That's enough to plan teaching from.
