18 Section III. Score Reports Score reports allow authorized users to view aggregated scores for LEAs, schools, teachers, and rosters, as well as individual student performance data for previous Summative and Interim ELA, Math, and Science assessments. Users can take advantage of data analyses to determine what strategies may need to be implemented to improve teaching and learning. Data can be compared with the overall state and LEA average for the test you are analyzing. Additionally, you can view performance trends and determine whether overall performance is increasing. Caution: About Score Reports The ORS provides dynamic data that can be used to gauge students achievement on various assessments. However, the data in this system are not to be used for official accountability purposes. USOE provides official accountability data. State averages will not be available for comparison until May 20, Score reports present data at the student level and at different levels of aggregation, which includes LEA, school, teacher, and roster. All score reports data, except for individual students score reports, can be disaggregated into subgroups for detailed analysis. For example, you can view a Grade 5 Mathematics report for a roster, for all of a teacher s students, for an entire school, or for an LEA. Note: The ORS also allows you to create custom groups of students so that you can analyze aggregated data based on shared characteristics, such as student athletes in an enrolled grade. Refer to Managing Rosters for additional information. Table 3 provides an overview of the types of reports available through the Score Reports feature and the levels of aggregation at which they can be viewed (LEA, school, teacher, and roster). Table 3. Available Score Reports Report Level of Aggregation LEA School Teacher Roster Student Home Page Dashboard Summary of performance (to date) across grades and subjects or courses for the current administration Subject Detail Data for a subject within a particular grade or course for the current administration, presented in roster format. Reporting Category Level Detail Reporting category-level scores for a subject within a particular grade or course for the current administration, presented in roster format. 18

19 Report Level of Aggregation LEA School Teacher Roster Student Content Standard Level Detail Content Standard-level scores along with relative strengths and weaknesses for a subject within a particular grade or course for the current administration, presented in roster format. Trend Longitudinal comparison of scores for a selected administration (across time) Student Listing Roster of all students who belong to a school, teacher, or class with their associated subject or course (and strand, if applicable) scores for the current administration Student Detail Detailed information about a selected student s performance in a specified subject or course (and strand, if applicable) 19

20 Score Reports Home: Getting Started SAGE The Home Page Dashboard screen displays the overall summary of score data and testing progress for your LEA or school, and is the starting point for data analysis. Figure 8. Home Page Dashboard Screen To view the Home Page Dashboard screen immediately after logging in to the ORS: 1. From the drop-down list on the Welcome screen (see Figure 4. Welcome Screen), which is displayed when you first log in to the ORS, select the entity whose score reports you want to view. The drop-down list is only displayed if you are associated with multiple entities and is dependent on your user role. For example, if you are a school-level user associated with multiple schools, the drop-down list will display all the schools that you are associated with. Again, if you are an LEA-level user associated with multiple LEAs, the drop-down list will display all the LEAs that you are associated with. 2. Click the [Score Reports] button. 20

21 To view the Home Page Dashboard screen at any time: Click the [Score Reports] button on the SAGE banner. Caution: The score data you see are dependent on your role; for example, a school administrator will only see his or her school s aggregate data. Select Test and Administration From the Home Page Dashboard screen, you can select the test and administration for which you want to view score data. Note: If you currently have a student who did not test in the selected test and administration, no data will be displayed for that student. Examples include students who moved to your school or LEA from out of state. Figure 9. Home Page Dashboard Screen: Select Test and Year 21

22 To select the test and administration: 1. From the Test drop-down list, select a test. By default, SAGE Summative will be selected. 2. From the Administration drop-down list, select an administration. By default, the current administration will be selected. 3. Select the appropriate radio button for the category of students whose scores you wish to view. Note: This feature is particularly helpful for school personnel who want to see how students currently assigned to the user s class roster performed in previous grades, even if students were enrolled in different schools or LEAs during those previous administrations. Scores for students who were mine at the end of the selected administration This view allows you to see score data for those students who were associated with your LEA or school or roster when they were tested in the selected test and administration. Scores for my current students o This option allows you to immediately view score data for those students who are associated to your current rosters, even if they were previously enrolled in a different school or LEA. o This view enables you to see your current students previous strengths and weaknesses before they begin testing this year. For example, a middle school teacher wanting to see how current 6th grade students performed on the SAGE Summative tests in 5th grade could select SAGE Summative and from the Test and Administration dropdown lists. Scores from the teacher s current 6th grade students who tested as 5th graders in will be displayed in the score reports for 5th grade. Scores for students who were mine when they tested during the selected administration o This view allows you to see score data for those students who were associated with your LEA, school, or roster when they were tested in the selected test and administration. Note: You can also search for individual students scores. For more information, refer to Search Students. 22

23 Understanding the Home Page Dashboard Report Tables The Home Page Dashboard screen displays aggregate data for each subject in a separate table. Caution: Data on this screen and all other score reports are based on the total number of students whose tests have been scored. Students who have completed their tests but not submitted them for scoring will not be included in these data. The columns constituting each of these tables are: Grade This column displays the grade or course to which the score data belongs. Percent of Students Proficient This column displays the percentage of students to date who have scored proficient (Proficient or Highly Proficient) on each test. Percent of Students Tested This column displays the percentage of students to date who have completed and submitted their tests for scoring. The percentage of students who tested is calculated out of the total number of students who are currently associated with your school or LEA and eligible to take the specified test. o Note: This column is not displayed if the [Scores for my current students] radio button is selected. To access score reports for a particular subject- or course-based test: Click a cell that contains a percentage value. You will be directed to the selected Subject Detail Report. You can click on a cell even if the numbers have not populated yet. 23

24 Score Reports Layout and Features SAGE All score reports except individual student reports are in table format. Most of the score reports share similar features and allow the following: Navigating between Score Reports using the Exploration Menu; Breakdown by Demographic Subgroup; Show/Hide Comparison Data; Data Sorting; and Show/Hide Columns Other common features of the score reports are the following: Name: The name of the score report, the test, the administration, and the entity (e.g., LEA, school, teacher, or roster) are displayed on the top of the report. Report Format: All score reports except individual student reports are in table format where the first column displays the name or entity, such as LEA, school, or teacher, to whom the scores belong. Time Stamp: A time stamp is included at the bottom of every report to indicate when the report was generated. Legend: A legend is displayed on top of each report page to describe the color codes that correspond to each test-specific performance level and can help you understand the data presented on the report. Note: About Score Report Legend Legends may not be displayed on all the reports. For example, the Student Listing Report does not display a legend. The legends vary between assessments and report types. Figure 10. Sample Legend 24

25 Navigating between Score Reports using the Exploration Menu You can navigate from one score report to another using the Exploration Menu. To navigate between score reports: 1. From the Name column of a score report, click that appears next to each entity (e.g., school or teacher). The Exploration Menu appears displaying the options that are available to you. 2. Click the appropriate drop down on the Exploration Menu to navigate to a report. The exploration menu has been improved allowing users to move from one subject and grade to another with one click on the drop down list. Figure 11. Exploration Menu Who What When About Score Reports Dimensions Score reports use three main dimension categories as the primary means of navigating between report levels: Who, What, and When. These dimensions are described in Table 4. This feature allows users to view data that can be analyzed appropriately, depending on whether the focus is on testing group. The tool will also allow navigation from one grade within a subject or to a grade in another subject without returning to the landing page. 25

26 Table 4. Score Reports Dimensions Dimension Description Categories/Reports Who What When Displays data for schools and groups (districtlevel, school-level, teacher-level, roster-level, and individual students). Displays data by reporting categories and standards within the selected subject. Displays data either as a snapshot of performance in the current test window or as a historical trend (for the subject/content area you are viewing). School Teacher Class Student Subject Reporting Categories Content Standards Trend Current Window Breakdown by Demographic Subgroup The Breakdown By filter allows you to disaggregate the score data by a specific demographic subgroup category. Selecting a filter will expand the report you are viewing to display the data for each subgroup.

35 About the Student Listing Report The Student Listing Report provides details about each student. The report is available for all students in a roster. The Student Listing Report provides the following information: The student s name and student ID. The student s scale score. The proficiency level classification associated with the student score. The Student Listing Report has several key differences from the higher-level subject detail reports: The name of the report is Summary of Overall Student Performance. How did my students perform on the [Subject] test, where the text within brackets indicates variables that change based on the test that you have selected. The title of the score report table is Scale Score and Levels [Subject] Test for Students in [Entity], where the text within brackets indicates variables that change based on the test that you have selected. Students SSIDs are displayed. The scores displayed are for individual students, and are not mean scores. The comparison scores for the state, LEA, school, teacher, and roster cannot be hidden from view. The [Print] tool on the Student Listing Report allows you to print the current screen and also allows you to generate a PDF file of individual student reports of all the students in the roster. When you click the [Print] button on the Student Listing Report, a pop-up window is displayed that enables you to specify the report you wish to print. To print the data displayed on the screen, click the [Just this Page] button. To generate a PDF report of all the listed students, click the [Student Report for All Students in this Group] drop down and then select how the PDF is to be created. To generate one PDF file click [Include all ISRs in a single PDF file] button. To generate individual student PDF reports of all each student in the roster click the [One PDF per ISR in a zip file]. The PDF reports can be accessed from the Inbox section of the Retrieve Student Results screen. For more information, refer to Inbox. Caution: All student data are confidential. If you export or print these student reports, ensure that they are kept in a secure place where others cannot access them. 35

36 Sample Individual Student Report The Individual Student Report displays the breakdown of the student s scale score; proficiency level descriptors for the selected subject- or course-based test; and performance at each reporting category. The report includes average scale scores for the State and LEA for comparison purposes and may also include a graph to display the student s performance on the test over time. Caution: Average scores are compiled from the scores of those students who have taken the same test to date; averaged computations do not include those students who have not taken or completed the test. To navigate to this report from the Student Listing Report, click the magnifying glass icon next to a student s name and then click [Student] from the top row of the exploration menu. 36

37 Figure 21. Sample Subject Detail Report: Individual Student Report 37

38 About the Individual Student Report The Individual Student Report provides the following information: Student Test Performance This table includes: o The student s name and student ID. o The student s birth date. o The student s overall scale score. o The proficiency level classification associated with the student score. Scale Score and Overall Performance This barrel chart visually depicts the student s proficiency level based on his overall scale score. Comparison Scores This table includes: o Average scale score and percent proficient for the state Caution: The average scale score and percent proficient for the state will only be available after May 20, o Average scale score and percent proficient for the LEA with which the student is associated. o Average scale score and percent proficient for the school with which student is associated. Reporting Categories This table includes: o A graph showing the student s performance on that reporting category. The black line indicates the student s score on each reporting category. The green rectangle shows the range of likely scores your student would receive if he or she took the test multiple times. o The student s scale score and standard error of measurement (SEM) in each of the reporting categories for the selected test for summative tests only. o A strength and weakness indicator is also provided for each reporting category. This includes a column for student performance relative to self, and a column for student performance relative to proficiency. Note: If scale scores are not available for a particular reporting category, the scale score column will be empty and the [] indicator will be displayed to indicate that scores are not available. For example, if a student completes the Writing portion of an ELA test and not the Reading portion, scale score will be reported for the writing reporting category but not the Reading reporting categories and overall scale score. Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Indicator o Student's ability to engage in a range of tasks of varying complexity. 38

39 o A strength and weakness indicator is provided for the DOK levels comparing the DOK performance relative to proficiency. For ELA tests, there will be a section summarizing the student s performance on writing. Reporting Category scores This table provides information about the student s performance on the Writing test providing the following information: o A graph showing the student s performance on writing. The black line indicates the student s score. The green rectangle shows the range of likely scores your student would receive if he or she took the test multiple times. o The student s scale score and standard error of measurement (SEM) for writing for summative tests only. o A strength and weakness indicator is also provided for writing. This includes a column for student performance relative to self, and a column for student performance relative to proficiency. Writing Performance Based on SAGE Writing Rubric This chart describes the quality of the students writing responses for the 3 dimensions defined in the rubric. 39

40 Reports in the What Dimension: Reporting Categories SAGE The Reporting Categories reports show the overall performance of your students in each of the reporting categories for the selected test. This report displays the number of students who have completed the test (student count), the percentage of students tested, the scale score of these students together with the corresponding strength and weakness indicator for each reporting category. You can access this report from any of the Subject Detail Reports, except for the Individual Student Report, by clicking the [Reporting Categories] drop down on the second row of the Exploration Menu. The reporting category report name consists of the following components: The score report name is [Entity] Performance for Each Reporting Category. What are my [entity] strengths and weaknesses in [Subject or Course], where the text within brackets indicates variables that change based on the test that you have selected. Each report indicates the test name (subject and grade or course), the administration, and the entity (e.g., LEA, School, teacher, or roster) for whom the report has been generated. The title of the score report table is Average Scale Score and Performance on Each Reporting Category [Subject or Course] Test for Students in [Entity], where the text within brackets indicates variables that change based on the test that you have selected. Figure 22. Sample Reporting Categories Report As with the Subject Detail Reports, you can also use the Exploration Menu to view data at the teacher, roster, or student level. You can also switch to the Content Standards report or the Trend report. 40

41 Sample Strengths and Weaknesses by Content Standard Report To navigate to this report from the main Reporting Categories report, click the magnifying glass icon next to a school name and then click [Content Standards] drop down on the second row of the Exploration Menu. This report will display all the content standards for each of the reporting categories in the selected test. The data shown in the Comparison Scores table are the average subject scores and percent proficient for the state, LEA, school, teacher, and roster. Figure 23. Sample Strengths and Weaknesses by Content Standard Report The performance levels indicated on this report are relative to the test as a whole. Unlike performance levels provided at the subject level, these strengths and weaknesses do not imply proficiency. Instead, they show how a group of students performance is distributed across content standards relative to their overall subject performance on a test. For example, a group of students may have performed very well in a subject, but performed slightly lower in several content standards. Thus, the minus sign for a content standard does not imply a lack of proficiency. Instead, it simply communicates that these students performance on that standard was statistically lower than their performance across all other content standards put together. Though the students are doing well, an educator may want to focus on these areas. 41

42 Definitions for each performance level are described in Table 7. Table 7. Content Standard Level Legend Descriptions Benchmark Level Better than performance on the test as a whole Similar to performance on the test as a whole Description This content standard is a relative strength. The group of students performed better on items from this content standard than they did on the rest of the test as a whole. This content standard is neither a relative strength nor a relative weakness. The group of students performed about as well on items from this content standard as they did on the rest of the test as a whole. Worse than performance on the test as a whole Too Few Items or Too Few Students This content standard is a relative weakness. The group of students did not perform as well on items from this content standard as they did on the rest of the test as a whole. Not enough information is available to determine whether this content standard is a relative strength or weakness. Finding Resources in SAGE Formative The Content Standard Level Report also enables you to directly link to Mathematics, Reading, and Science resources for each content area standard in the SAGE Formative system. Click the [Find Resources] button for any content standard to open a new browser window or tab. You will be automatically directed to the Browse Resources screen in the SAGE Formative. The associated resources for the topic you selected will be automatically displayed. For information about using SAGE Formative and creating assignments using available resources, refer to the SAGE Formative User Guide found on the SAGE Portal. 42

43 Understanding Trend Report Features SAGE Trend reports display the overall performance of a student or group of students in the selected subject throughout the administrations using graphs and tables. The average scale score for each testing window is plotted. Scores from previous years represent a group s average score or a student s individual score from that year s testing window. All tests taken within the current school year are valid only for individual student trends. Caution: Trend reports are not available for Science tests as these tests do not use a vertical scale that can be used for comparisons across grades, between test administrations, and over time. The trend report name consists of the following components: The score report name is Longitudinal Report. How did my students perform over time? Each report also indicates the subject or course and the entity (e.g., LEA, School, teacher, or roster) for whom the report has been generated. The title of the score report table is Student Scale Scores on [Subject or Course] Test Over Time, where the text within brackets indicates variables that change based on the test that you have selected. Figure 24. Sample Trend Report: LEA-Level Report 43

44 The trend report shows the trend of performance for the LEA, school, teacher, class (roster), and/or student you are analyzing. The graph plots the data points for the selected groups of students or individual students at each point in time (across test administrations both within and between school years). Placing the mouse over a point on the line graph will allow you to see details of that score. Trend Report Features Trend reports are interactive. You can choose the tests that should be plotted on the graph. Users can also use the Choose Who to Graph and What to Graph (if available) features to plot specific data on the historical graph. The notable trend report features are described below. Select Administrations and Data to Plot By default, the trend report is set to plot summative and interim administrations on the graph. However, you may choose to only plot the administration selected on the Home Page Dashboard page. To plot only the administration selected on the Home Page Dashboard page: 1. From the Display drop-down list, select Selected Test. 2. Click Go. The trend report will plot the data points for the selected administration. Using the Trend Data drop down, you may choose to plot the Average Scale Score or the Percent Proficient. Choose Who to Graph In this section, you may select up to five entities to compare at one time. Due to space constraints, you cannot select more entities. A trend line for each selected entity will appear on the graph and will be color coded. You can select an entity by clicking the checkbox next to the entity from the Choose Who to Graph box. Viewing Data by Demographic Subgroup As with the subject and reporting categories reports, you may also choose to plot data points by subgroup, for example, ethnicity. When a subgroup is selected, the Choose Who to Graph box will display the options for each entity. Select the combination of entity and subgroup(s) that you want to plot. Dimensions Each entity listed in this box also displays the magnifying glass icon. You can elect to drill down and view trend data at the teacher, roster, or student levels. Choose What to Graph In this section, you may select whether to plot by average scale score or percent proficient and the overall test subject data (default) or individual reporting categories to plot. 44

45 Dropped Students All trend report pages include a column called Dropped Students. A [View] button in the Dropped Students column indicates that some students were not included in the trend report. If the column displays N/A, then no students were dropped or excluded from the trend report. Students in the aggregate grouping are dropped from a trend report if they have not completed the selected test across all charted test windows. For example, a student who took the Grade 5 Mathematics test in the window, but not in the window will be excluded from a trend report that includes both testing windows. To see the students who were not included, click the [View] button. A pop-up window will appear showing the names of the students. Why Students Are Dropped When looking at data for a group of students over time, it is important to look at the same sample of students. If a student was not present for all testing windows displayed in your trend report, then that student will be omitted from the calculation of the mean scores. This helps to ensure that observed changes in mean scores are the result of actual differences in performance and not the result of the absence of a student during a testing window. Because of this, the average score on the trend report may not always match what you observe in the Subject Detail Report, especially if many students were omitted from the trend calculations. Hiding Trend Lines After you have plotted trend lines, you may want to temporarily hide a trend line to better view data. To do so, navigate to the box below the graph that contains the legend for the trend lines. Figure 25. Sample Trend Line Box To hide/unhide the trend lines: 1. Locate the box listing the trend lines for the report (see Figure 25). 2. Click the trend(s) you want to hide. The trend you have selected will become grayed out and the line will disappear from the graph. 3. To display the trend line again, click the trend name again. The line will reappear on the graph. 45

46 Zoom Feature Sometimes data points are plotted very close to one another, and it can be difficult to discern what points belong to which entity and/or reporting category. You can use your computer s mouse to zoom in on different areas of the graph. To zoom in or out of a trend graph: 1. To zoom in, click your mouse's left button and drag the mouse over an area of the graph that has at least one data point. You may repeat this action until you are satisfied with the view. 2. To zoom out and return to the full trend graph, click the [Reset zoom] link at the upper left corner of the graph. 46

47 Sample LEA Trend Report This report is available to state- and LEA-level users who have access to viewing data for an LEA. Figure 26. Sample Trend Report: LEA-Level Report 47

48 You can view trends by reporting categories. Simply click the magnifying glass icon next to the LEA, school, teacher, or class name to open the Exploration Menu and click [Reporting Categories] on the bottom drop down. This feature is available for all trend report levels. As with Subject Detail Reports, you can also filter trend reports by a selected subgroup using the Breakdown By feature. You may also select whether to plot by average scale score or percent proficient and the overall test subject data (default) or individual reporting categories to plot. 48

49 Sample Teacher Trend Report To navigate to this report, click the magnifying glass icon next to a school name and then click [Teacher] in the first drop down. The data shown are the average scale scores for the selected school. To plot trends for specific teachers, click the check box next to each roster for which you want to view data points. Figure 27. Sample Trend Report: Teacher-Level Report 49

50 Sample Roster Trend Report To navigate to this report, click the magnifying glass icon next to a teacher s name and then click [Class] in the top drop down. The data shown are the average scale scores of all classes or rosters for the selected teacher. To plot trends for specific rosters, click the check box next to each roster for which you want to view data points. Figure 28. Sample Trend Report: Roster-Level Report 50

51 Sample Student Listing Trend Report To navigate to this report, click the magnifying glass icon next to a class name and then click [Student] in the top drop down. By default, the trend line displayed is for the first student shown at the top of the list in the Choose Who to Graph box. The student trend line will display the proficiency level for each point. Each level will display with a distinct shape and color. To plot trends for specific students, click the check box next to each student whose data points you want to view. Figure 29. Sample Trend Report: Student Listing Report 51

52 Section IV. Managing Rosters SAGE These feature of the ORS allows you to create custom groupings of students for analyzing aggregate score data. Rosters can be used to track students test scores easily. For example, the ORS can generate a report of all of a teacher s students who have been tested in a given grade and subject or course. School-level users can create a roster if they want to view a report that lists all students in a specific grade who have tested. You can also create a custom list of students in order to track their performance as a group. For example, users may wish to create rosters that contain only students receiving special instruction or who belong to an extracurricular program. These feature is accessible at all times except when the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) system is unavailable as a result of scheduled maintenance. Creating and Managing Rosters Authorized users can manage rosters and create new rosters for themselves as long as they have a direct relationship to a school and students. These rosters can be used for reporting in the ORS as well as for student assignments in the SAGE Formative system. You can access this feature by clicking the correct button in the banner. Adding a New Roster This section explains how to add a new roster from ORS. Note: You can only create rosters from students associated with your school or district. 52

53 To add a roster: 1. From the ORS banner, select Add Roster. The Add Roster form appears (see Figure 30). Figure 30. Add Roster Form 2. In the Roster Information panel, search for students. 3.

Note: You can access the Inbox in two ways: From the Test Management Center drop-down list, select Retrieve Student Results. Click the [Inbox] button on the banner. The number in parenthesis next to the [Inbox] button displays the number of files existing in the Inbox that are yet to be downloaded. For example, if the Inbox consists of two files of which one has previously been downloaded, (1) will be displayed next to the [Inbox] button. Figure 34. Inbox The files in the Inbox display the following information: The entity name (e.g., LEA, school, teacher, or class) The type of data file you requested (e.g., LEA, school, teacher, or class) The test type (e.g., SAGE Summative, SAGE Interim) The administration or test window (e.g., ) The grade level of the students in the data file The date and time the data file was created The status of the request To access a data file: Click the [Download] link in the Status column. Download Individual Student Report with Manifest From the Retrieve Student Results & My Inbox page, the user can request a file containing PDFs of student reports from his school or district. The file can be uploaded into another system such as a district s secure systems to manage parent access. The user can also obtain a downloadable roster of data for his school or district that can be uploaded into another system. School and District level users can select PDFs of Student Reports from the Download Format dropdown menu. District Users will have the option to select a specific school or select all schools within the district. 61

62 Once users request PDFs of student reports, student ISR PDFs will be created for each student in the district. Users can use filters to download all the files that contain ISR PDFs. To limit the size of each zip file to a reasonable level, requests made at the district level will result in a zip file of student ISR PDFs being created for each school in the district. o For example, if there are 10 schools in the district, there will be 10 zip files available for download in the district user s inbox, each containing the PDFs for the respective school. Figure 35. Download ISRs with Manifest Users can unzip the file once it is downloaded onto their local computers. The zipped file will contain the student ISR PDFs with a manifest file that describes the PDF s that are enclosed and can be used to load the PDFs into the district s secure system. Figure 36. Downloaded Files Containing ISRs Each PDF will show individual student reports in separate PDFs. The PDF file name will include: 62

63 Student SSID Test Grade Subject Users will also receive an excel (.csv) manifest file that shows all the PDFs that were included in the zip file (see Figure 37). Figure 37. Unzipped PDFs and Excel (.csv) File Users can use a manifest file to get a complete list of all PDFs that are in the folder. The manifest file contains a reference to each PDF in the zip file as shown in Figure 38. Figure 38. Manifest File with PDF References 63

64 Opening and Viewing the Data Files You can download your requested student data file in either.xls or.csv format. You may also choose to download it in another format (e.g.,.txt file type). If you choose to download the file as a.txt file, then you will need to follow the instructions below to view the file in Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet program. Figure 39. Sample Data File Output Downloading and viewing a.txt file: 1. Save the file to your desktop or other desired location on your computer. 2. Open Microsoft Excel. 3. Navigate to File > Open. 4.

The.txt file that you saved should now appear in the location in which you saved it. 5. Select the file and click [Open]. 6. The Text Import Wizard will open. You will have to navigate through three steps: a. Make sure Delimited is selected and click [Next]. b. Click the check box next to Other, enter the symbol (this is often on the same key as the forward slash \ ), and click [Next]. c. Click [Finish]. 7. The data will populate in separate columns in Excel. For ease in opening this file in the future, you may want to re-save the file as an Excel Workbook (.xls or.xlsx) file. This will prevent you from having to import the data again. 64

65 Section VI. Search Students SAGE The ORS includes a feature to search for students by SSID, first name, or last name, or wildcard (letters or numbers). This is especially useful if you need to find a student s score reports but do not know the student s grade or school. This feature searches for score report results for students, not their test status(es) for the current test window. Note: You cannot view students who are not associated with your school or LEA. Searching for Students You can access this feature by clicking the [Search Students] button in the banner. When you click the button, a pop-up window is displayed as shown in Figure 40, where you can search for the required student(s). Figure 40. Student Search Pop-up Window To search for students: 1. Click the [Search Students] button. 2. Select the school year you want to limit your search to (e.g., ; ). 3. Enter one of the following search criteria: Enter up to 20 students full or partial SSIDs. If you are entering multiple queries, you must separate each one with a comma (e.g., , ). Enter a student s first name or last name, but not both. Enter a wildcard using letters or numbers (e.g., first three digits of a student s SSID or first four letters of a student s last name). 4. Click the [Search] button. If the search results in a match, those students information will be displayed on the Student Search Results screen (see Figure 41). 65

66 Understanding Student Search Results and Selecting a Test The Student Search Results screen shows a list of students who matched your search.
