00:00.000 --> 00:11.160
In this video you'll learn how to compare assessment periods. The report that answers the

00:11.160 --> 00:17.240
question every leadership team eventually asks, did what we changed last term actually

00:17.240 --> 00:25.840
work? Open the assessment period report. Set the academic year, the period and the schools,

00:25.840 --> 00:32.320
subjects and grades you want. The headline row covers participation, completion, average

00:32.320 --> 00:38.680
score and average accuracy. Below sits the analytics block. Take these in order rather

00:38.680 --> 00:44.720
than all at once. Participation rate and completion rate first. These tell you how much

00:44.720 --> 00:50.400
you can trust everything that follows. System scale shows the relative volume of students

00:50.400 --> 00:56.400
and assessments through bubble size, giving you a quick view of overall activity. Assigned

00:56.400 --> 01:01.800
versus completed over time shows whether the gap between what you set and what students

01:01.800 --> 01:09.480
finished is widening or closing. The histogram shows the spread of average scores. A wide

01:09.480 --> 01:16.080
spread means very different experiences inside the same group. The box plot adds the quartiles

01:16.080 --> 01:22.800
and the median, which in average alone hides. Pass versus fail against the 60% threshold

01:22.800 --> 01:28.320
gives a simple headline for governance reporting. The monthly school performance trend adds

01:28.320 --> 01:35.240
a moving average to smooth out noise. The analytical metrics table is the heart of the

01:35.240 --> 01:41.640
report. Each metric appears with its current value, its previous value, the percentage

01:41.640 --> 01:47.720
change and a trend indicator. This is where you judge an intervention. Participation

01:47.720 --> 01:55.240
up but accuracy flat means more students sat the test, not that more students learned.

01:55.240 --> 02:01.200
The period performance comparison chart compares average RIT scores and average accuracy

02:01.200 --> 02:07.040
across assessment periods, helping you track performance changes over time. The students

02:07.040 --> 02:12.440
and assessments by period chart shows the number of unique students and completed assessments

02:12.440 --> 02:18.120
for each period, providing context for the performance data. The period breakdown table

02:18.120 --> 02:25.320
compares each period side by side with an export option. Finally, subject, grade and school

02:25.320 --> 02:32.240
performance panels show which of each moved most. Use this report at the end of every cycle.

02:32.240 --> 02:36.920
It is the only place that answers whether last term's decisions made a difference.
