Some helpful “drill-down” investigations when studying “attendance.”

1. Who are the low-attending students?

2. How do attendance patterns align with WSAS achievement patterns?

14+Thinking Ahead about“Drilling-Down”

Because WISEdash allows you to “drill down” to specific students, think ahead about the role that the ACCESS LEP levels play in planning for students..

Respect confidentiality. Save data in a secure data folder.

Student ListsWill you need lists of …

• Students who are at different ACCESS levels in the four domains?

• Students who are at levels one and two overall?

Student ProfilesWill you need individual student data such as …

• Specific language domain results and history?

• ELL student performance on the WSAS to relate to ACCESS results?

16+ Demo – Drilling Down intoACCESS Data

Example: Entry screen for ACCESS results

Note – take time to study the color coding of results.

Use caution when interpreting longitudinal patterns— annual ”newcomer” families can greatly alter these reports

Check “Enrollment” data to view the shifts in population over time. Summer 2013

17+Demo – Drilling Down to theStudent Profile

Example:

Note the ACCESS test history and details for the student.

Note the varying levels of English proficiency based on domain (reading, writing, speaking, listening)
