View the descriptions of supplementary tools below that were designed to help you maximize the effectiveness of the CCMR Insights tool in your district. Additional tools will be developed in 2021.
Counselors can use the student success planning tool to create action plans for individual students. The goal of using the tool is to map out multiple pathways that students can take to earn at least one CCMR A-F point and to prepare them for success on the postsecondary pathway(s) of their choice.
Use the column header filters on the student view page in CCMR Insights to identify students who: (1) have zero A-F points; (2) are not TSI-met; and (3) who are classified as “approaching” on one or more TSI assessments.
To facilitate analysis with large groups of students, note that you can export the list on the student view page to Excel-compatible CSV (comma-separated values) format by clicking the “Export as CSV” button at the bottom right.
For the selected students, use the student success planning tool to create two or more personalized action plans. When you create the goal for each action plan, outline the steps that should be followed to attain that goal and the timeline for completing each step.
Campus and district leaders can use a CCMR Indicators template and a modified version of the TEA CCMR board goals template to document historical CCMR data and CCMR Outcomes Bonus data. These tools will also generate charts that highlight equity gaps and surface opportunities to expand programs related to particular CCMR indicators.
The TEA data links page explains how to gather the information you will need to fill out the tool template. To fill out the orange rows on the TEA CCMR board goals template for 2018, 2019, and 2020, you will need TAPR reports. You will need Summary of Finances reports for the blue column. To fill out the blue rows on the CCMR Indicators template for the same three years, use academic accountability reports.
Note that because CCMR accountability data lags, the TAPR reports for 2020, 2019, and 2018 report data for your graduates from 2019, 2018, and 2017 respectively.
Using data from CCMR Insights, CCMR Verifier, or from other sources, you may be able to enter projections for the 2021 and 2022 rows on the tool template. If you add data for additional years, you will need to adjust the data selected for the graphs to include those years.
View sample graphs generated by the tool on the Data Collection page. The “student groups” graph will illustrate equity gaps over time (if those gaps exist in your district). The “CCMR indicators” graph will illustrate the proportion of students who have earned an A-F CCMR point on different CCMR indicators over time.
Campus and district leaders can use the success rates tool to view the proportion of students who have met TSI on each of the eight methods to meet TSI (see “percent of class” graph below). Leaders can also view student success rates on each method (see “percent success” graph below).
On the CCMR Insights dashboard, the percentages displayed are the number of students who met on ACT Math, for example, divided by the total number of students in the class.
However, as all students do not take each assessment, for analysis purposes, it is more helpful to divide the number of students who met on ACT math by the number of students who took that assessment (rather than by the number of students in the entire class). Then, leaders can compare success rates across the different assessments to determine what types of interventions and supports students need to be successful.
To fill in the data on the table in the tool template, use the numbers displayed when you hover over the bars. For example, on the ACT math bar, if 38 students met, enter 38 in the “Met (#)” column in the ACT Math row. Do the same for “met,” “approaching,” and “did not meet” for each TSI method. The percentages will populate automatically.
Finally, in the “% of class” column, update the denominator to reflect the total number of students in the class you are evaluating.
