73What is State Analysis?
- Through the State Analysis module, Edusoft users
can generate reports which disaggregate State
Test data in a variety of ways (ethnicity, ed
program, gender, etc) - Users can create Intervention Groups to track a
specific group of students over time - Users can also use the Comparison Tool and the
Logitudinal Tool to compare groups in the same
year, or over time
74How does it work?
- Roster information is supplied to Edusoft from
the district SIS - State assessment data is taken from state CDs
that the district supplies to Edusoft - All users types have access to the State Analysis
functionality, but access to data is informed by
system permissions - District Administrators have access to all
schools within the district - School Administrators have access to all students
within their school - Teachers have access to the students on their
roster

CAHSEE administrations
The dates correspond to the administration dates
for the CAHSEE
92How the scores display on an individual student
report
This student took the CAHSEE ELA section in March
and did not pass. The student took it again in
May and did not pass. The highest non-passing
score is included in the CAHSEE Summative
93Another Example

Select the standards for your intervention group,
and click continue.
99Select the students to include in the
intervention group. You can chose to include all
students, or you can base the group on a specific
performance criteria
This option will allow you to select students
based on a specific performance threshold
This option will allow you to select students
based on a specific increase or decrease since
taking a previous assessment
100For this example, the option to determine
intervention based on performance from one
assessment to the next has been selected. This
screen allows you to enter specific criteria.
Using the drop down menus, select performance
criteria. For this example, lets select
students whose performance has increased at least
10.
101This is your Intervention Group. This group
includes all students in the Class Size
Reduction Full Day Educational Program who had
at least a 10 increase in performance from one
assessment to the next.
Once the Intervention Group has been determined,
it can be further refined by selecting other
demographic options. For example, if we now
sorted by Gender, we could get a group that only
included the girls in this group.
Scores in salmon indicate performance which is
below the Performance Threshold.
The Intervention Group can be saved as a Custom
Group for use on future reporting

how last years students performed compared to
this years students on the same test
This view shows performance changes, grouped by
school from the 03-04 CST to the 04-05
administration of the same assessment
Use the drop down menus to drill down to more
specific information
115This is the same grouping of students, broken
down by ethnicity
Performance of Alaskan Indian sub-population has
risen by 28.3 points
This shows us that 32 students took the 03-04
assessment, and 36 students took the 04-05
administration of the assessment. A matched
group would give us the most accurate indicator
of progress for this sub-population

harder for younger students. - Avoids students needing to remember user name and

taking test outside of class if the testing
window is open for more than 24 hours. - Cons
- Requires a distribution mechanism for teachers
getting tickets to students. - Disallows students from selecting a test to take
from a list of tests. - Disallows students from seeing their test results
if not used in conjunction with user name and
password.

405Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings
- Training Suggestions
- Dedicate one hour a week in regularly scheduled
meetings to teacher training. - Use the Edusoft sample agenda for each module
found in the Implementation Support section of
the Library and break the agenda down into 1 hour
topics. - Order these topics in order of importance.
- Create a schedule for training topics for an
entire month at a time. - If you only have one two hour session, chose the
one or two most important training topics from
the sample agendas to cover.
406Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings
- Determine your desired outcome.
- Consider these questions
- What do you want teachers to know when they leave
this training? - Is there a district mandated use for Edusoft that
they all need to be trained in? - Why have you scheduled this training?
407Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings
- Training suggestion
- Think about the original reason why Edusoft was
brought into your district. Do all of your
teachers know why they have it? Do they know how
to use all the Edusoft features to reach this
desired outcome?
408Strategies for Planning Edusoft Trainings
- Set Concrete Goals
- Set goals for each of your training sessions in
order to reach your desired outcomes for the
training. - What do you want to accomplish at each session?
