All-in-One Reporting Tool
Consider the Class Progress Report your new best
friend. This all-in-one report was designed to provide
you with a multi-level look into how your students are
performing individually and as a group.
Designed for Differentiation
Today’s classrooms are comprised of students with
different levels of prerequisite knowledge. That’s why
this type of report is especially beneficial—it provides
different perspectives depending upon your needs
and the abilities of your students.
Multi-level Data at Your Fingertips
With the Class Progress Report, you have a big
picture view of your class, but you can also drill
down into data for individual students.

Class Progress Report
To demonstrate the value of the Class Progress Report, we’ll look at some of
the key questions you may ask yourself on a daily basis and the solutions
provided by this PMT report.
Can I progress my lesson or do my students
need to review previous standards and skills?
Am I spending enough time on each concept
and skill?
Should I be providing my students with more
Intervention and Enrichment assignments?
14
To answer this question, simply look at overall class results and trends available through
the Class Progress Report.
Class Progress Report
Can I progress my lesson or do my students need to review previous
standards and skills?
You can view class averages on individual assignments to identify overall strengths and
weaknesses based on standards and skills. The Class Progress Report even shows
overall student averages for each assignment type. With this information, you can easily
identify which standards or skills to target in class or where individual students are in
need of extra help.
15
To answer this question, simply look at information on specific assignments - by class,
student, or question.
If all of your students missed question 4 from lesson 1.1, there is clearly something that
needs to be addressed with the whole class.
Class Progress Report
Am I spending enough time on each concept and skill?
You can also view a summary of items missed
and items correct on individual assignments.
16
Class Progress Report
For an even deeper look at individual student’s strengthen and
weaknesses, we recommend you use Knewton Analytics Reports.
Should I be providing my students with more Intervention and Enrichment
assignments?
To answer this question, look at individual student performance on specific assignments.
To view a student’s scores, simply click on the Student Name.
Chapter 5 Knewton Analytics Report
The Knewton Analytics Report provides
you with a detailed picture of your students
based on their performance within any
assigned Personal Math Trainer
assessment—as a whole and individually.
Consider it this way…Knewton is an artist
that you have commissioned to paint a profile
of each of your students based on their
cumulative PMT experience.
The Knewton Analytics Report is a glimpse
into the portrait that Knewton is continuously
painting. Every time your students work in
the PMT, Knewton will record their
engagement with the lesson content. The
more your students use the PMT, the more
defined each portrait becomes.
So what information is Knewton providing to
you through the Knewton Analytics Report?

Knewton Analytics Report
19
Proficiency is an intelligent
estimate of how well a student understands one or more concepts.
Active Time measures how much productive time learners are
spending studying the material, as opposed to how long a student has been logged in.
Knewton looks at both Proficiency
and Active Time to help you see where students might be struggling because they aren’t spending
enough time using PMT.
Knewton Analytics Report
As a teacher, you can look at class proficiency and active time against different categories including:
• California Common Core Standards • A specific location from the textbook • Depth of Knowledge
20
Knewton’s proficiency estimate reflects a student’s understanding of the concepts covered
by different categories. This proficiency rating can be used to help you identify your students’
strengths on core concepts as well as areas for improvement and further study.
Knewton Analytics Report
Note: If Knewton has no data on a student, the default is to
show the student as having a low proficiency.
Proficiency performance
falls into one of 5 buckets: • Very high • High
• Medium • Low
• Very low
21
For the California Common Core Standards category, you can drill down from domain to
cluster to specific standards.
You can see which standards students have mastered or need additional help with. You
can also see how individual students are performing against each category.
