001Welcome. This short video will review a sample student report that is available after each STAR interim assessment. You may have been provided a copy of this report from your students teacher. Here is a sample of a one-page report from a grade three mathematics interim assessment. At the top of the report under your students information is the predicted star performance level and scale score your student received on the assessment. Note, there are four possible performance levels on the STAR interim assessment. Predicted to be did not meet grade level, predicted to be approaches grade level, predicted to be meets grade level, and predicted to be master's grade level. So, what does this predicted STAR performance level mean? Assuming a student's learning pace stays the same, the predicted STAR performance level is what the student may achieve on
002the STAR summit of assessment based on this interim score. This assumes the student will continue on the same instructional path and maintain the same learning trajectory. Students who miss opportunities to learn, such as changes in motivation or attendance, are likely to score lower on the actual STAR summit of assessment than this predicted star performance level. Note, predictions are just one multiple data point to consider when determining which students need additional support. The next part of the report shows how the scale score your student received compares to the maximum score for this test. The scale score is the overall performance score. The table at the bottom of the page breaks down how well the student performed within the four content reporting categories. Reporting categories are groups of related knowledge and skills that students need to learn
003over the course of the year. How your student performed in each group is measured by three target levels under, near, or above target. In this example, above target, as seen here in reporting category 1, means the student was proficient in their performance and are able to successfully answer questions within this group of questions. Undertarget as in reporting category 4 means that the student scored below the expected level performance for these standards and are in need of additional support and instruction to reach proficiency. four-star summitive near target in reporting categories two and three means that due to the small number of questions there is not enough information to determine if they're actually above or below target in that reporting category. Note reporting categories are not included in any science interim assessment. A second page of the
004report may have been provided by your students teacher. The first column in the report shows the question number. The second column identifies the standard that was assessed by each question. Each standard key is listed in the chart. The first number in the standard key is the grade level, which for this group was all grade three. The second number is the reporting category. The last number in letter combination, for example, 2D identifies the Texas essential knowledge and skill or TIGs for this grade level. The third column in the table is the actual language for the student expectation. And finally, the last column refers to how many points a student earned from the total points they could have earned for each question. Note that some questions are worth more than one point. It is important to also
005note that if a question is answered correctly, that does not necessarily mean that the student mastered that standard as a single instance of a question cannot determine this. Thank you for viewing this overview of the STAR interim assessment student reports. If you have any additional questions, please contact your student school.
