A-F Prediction/Progress

Partial screen capture showing 75 percent projected CCMR A-F score, 2034 students, 497 students with no points, and 1537 who met criteria

To determine where you are in meeting the A-F CCMR accountability measures, simply look at the percentage in the upper left corner of the main dashboard. This tells you the percent of the senior class that met at least one A-F indicator. Students with no A-F indicator are highlighted in red; if you click on the number, the list of students will appear that can be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet. You can also click on the number of students who met criteria to see the list of those students. Scroll down the screen to see how students are performing in each A-F indicator area.

 

 

 

District, Campus and Grade-level Views

The upper, top left of the screen has a toggle where you can select “All Schools” or select a high school campus. This allows you to disaggregate the data by campus and district. This will allow you to see progress by campus so that gaps can be identified and to ensure each school is meeting district goals for CCMR.

There is also a drop-down toggle for which grade-level to view: Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, or Freshmen. These classes can be viewed across the entire district/charter or by individual campus.

 

TSI Progress & Interventions

Since TSI is a criterion for A-F accountability and to meet HB3/CCMR expectations for “college ready” and “career ready”, monitoring student progress for meeting TSI through ACT, SAT, and/or TSIA is important. Click on the “CCMR A-F View” and scroll to the TSI Met section. You will see your students’ performance in meeting TSI for each college assessment, as well as, College Prep courses. Student performance is color coded based on the following:

  • Blue = the % of students who met criteria

  • Yellow = the % of students who nearly met the criteria (within 10% of target)

  • Red = the % of students who didn’t meet criteria

  • Grey = % of students that do not have data for this field

Click on any TSI Met bar to view the list of students who either met or didn’t meet criteria (based on the color you click on). Selecting the “Nearly Met” on the ACT English bar will provide a list of the students who are close to meeting the TSI criteria for that content area. Selecting “Didn’t Meet” will show all students who didn’t meet criteria for that exam/content area, including the nearly met students.

Further down the page are the other relevant metrics for A-F accountability, including College Prep Math/English courses passed, AP or IB courses completed, dual credit courses completed, industry certification or Level I/II certificate earned, military enlistment, and more.

Best practice tip: Use the “Nearly Met” list of students and “Didn’t Met” list to apply interventions based on student needs.

For example, students who are close to meeting criteria may benefit from a quick intervention such as a one-week boot camp. Students who are further from the college readiness benchmark may benefit from a longer-term intervention such as the College Prep course(s). When determining interventions, create lists based on Reading/Writing only, Math only, and both. Make sure someone is assigned to pull this data and create a schedule for when the data will be pulled. Create a calendar for when college assessments will be given, when the results will be posted and imported into the CCMR Insights dashboard, and when the new data will be analyzed.

CCMR A-F vs CCMR HB3 (Texas House Bill 3) View

You can toggle between the criteria for A-F accountability and House Bill 3 outcomes-based funding by clicking on the toggles underneath the main circle chart on the left side. The indicators function the same way as the CCMR A-F, with color coding and student-level drill-down by Met, Nearly Met, Didn’t Meet, or No Data.

 

 

 

Student List View

Clicking on any numeric value in the upper dashboard area, or any bar segment in the individual metrics, will open a page listing all the applicable students. Each metric for each student, as well as demographic and identity information, are displayed. Scroll the list to the right to view all values. Click on the Next button on the bottom of the list to go to the next page of students.

Every column header has either a text or dropdown search feature, depending on whether the field has a pre-determined set of values (such as student level) or is more unique, such as student name or ID. Simply select a value, or start typing to filter the list. Filters can be applied across multiple columns. Click on “Reset Filters” to go back to the filter you started from. Also, the small up and down arrows in each field heading can be used to sort the data by ascending or descending values of that column.

You can export the list to Excel-compatible CSV (comma-separated values) format by clicking the “Export as CSV” button at the bottom right.

 

Tip: to see a list of ALL students, click on the number in the upper left labeled “Student Count”.
