TPRI

Background

Student Level Metric

Early reading inventories assess early reading skills and predict early reading success.  All reading inventories are broken into several sections, one for each skill assessed.  The student is asked a series of questions and receives points for correct answers.  For the classroom educator the value of these assessments lies with the individual section scores. Unlike reading level assessments, the sections and tasks for inventories are based on the time of year and the grade level of the student.  TPRI is given 3 times each year [beginning-of-year (BOY), middle-of-year (MOY), and end-of-year (EOY)].

Primary Metric

TPRI: a student's score on the most recent TPRI assessment

Dashboard Example

Figure 1 shows the TPRI Reading Assessment as seen on the student dashboard.

Figure 1 TSDS Student TPRI Reading Assessment Metric

Status Definition on the Dashboard

The Status indicator is determined by campus-specific thresholds (campus goals) which are set at the district level. The default threshold is for students to meet the 'Developed" threshold

Table 2 Metric Indicators for TSDS TPRI

Metric Indicators

Metric Name

Metric Status  Indicator
(a)

Trend

TPRI

Red (SD)  = if student's score equals  " Still Developing"

Green (D ) = if student's score equals "Developed"

Compare previous assessments

Prior Year TPRI

Red (SD)  = if student's score equals  " Still Developing"

Green (D ) = if student's score equals "Developed"

 

(a) For each subject, the Value column displays the student's score for the Reading Assessment.

Trend Definition

Table 3 lists the trend indicators for the TPRI Reading Assessment Mastery metric. 

The trend does not display if a student does not have a prior TPRI score.

Table 3 Trend Indicators for TPRI Reading Assessment Mastery

Trend Indicators: Objective is to indicate TPRI objective mastery

Up green

If the value for the assessment has changed from "Still Developing" to "Developed"  since the prior administration

Unchanged

If the value for assessment has not changed since the prior administration.

Down red

If the value for the assessment changed from 'Developed" to "Still Developing" since the prior administration.

Tooltips

The standard tool tips for the metric definition, column headers, and help functions display for this metric.

  • Green metric status: D (Developed)
  • Red metric status: SD (Still Developing)
  •  'More' indicates drilldown views for this metric.
  • "Getting better from the prior period."
  • "Getting worse from the prior period."
  • "No change from the prior period."

Business Rules

Data Assumptions

  • Campus must report student scores for each component section, as well as an overall score.
  • Student scores are listed by count as well as score (Still Developing or Developed)
  • Campuses only administer the TPRI for grades K-3

Computed Values

There are no computed values for this metric as it simply displays the score as listed in the data file.

TPRI Identification

When mapping to the district data, the district needs to identify the following based components from the enumerated set of data: grade level, classroom/section, campus and date of administration.

Data Anomalies

Anomalies

  • Late enrollees may have taken the TPRI test at their previous school; these results will likely not be available.
  • Loading of data from multiple administration dates.
  • The dashboards display the overall screening score for TPRI, which is conducted at the beginning of the year (BOY). Students that were not screened again (but took another section of the test) will not have a result for subsequent administrations (MOY, EOY).

Footnotes

Best practice is for the developer to footnote the following:

  • The date and the school year that the Reading Assessment scores were last loaded.

Date of Refresh

The date of refresh should display as (Through MOY 2017)

Drill Downs

Drill Down Views

The dashboards include the option to drill down and see more detail that is associated with a metric. Table 5 lists the drill down views that are recommended for this metric.

Business Rules

For the objective status, the system must display the following:

  • Red square = The student did not answer correctly <70% correct if >1 question testing TPRI item
  • Green circle = The student answered correctly >70% correct if >1 question testing TPRI item

Tooltips

Historical Chart

  • Red bar: SD (Still Developing)
  • Green bar: D (Developed)

Objectives

  • Red square: SD (Still Developing) or PSD (Potentially Still Developing)
  • Green circle: D (Developed)
