Data Tracking

The Data Tracking module allows a school to view the distribution, spread and growth of students in a range of assessments and curricula, including NAPLAN and Victorian Curriculum.

General features

Dropdown selections

Data Tracking contains a series of dropdown selection fields that control the data that is displayed in the graphs and the listing. The following selections may be made, in combination with each other:

• Assessment or test type: This lists the tests or assessments available in your database
• Dimension: The aspect of the assessment you wish to look at e.g. Reading and Viewing
• Cohort: Select all students or a particular cohort

A sliding scale also allows teachers to view data across time. To move back to an earlier semester, select a date in that semester via the date picker in the top right of the home page. 

Exporting Data

Information from the test listings can be exported to an Excel file type. 

Interpreting the graphs

Distribution graph

This graph displays, for the selections made, the percentage and number of students that are at the expected level of achievement, and the distribution above and below this.

Spread graph

This graph displays the spread of students across all of the scores. Within the one graph, the whole school may be graphed, with each progression point showing the breakdown of students in each level who have achieved that particular progression point. Alternatively, you may choose to graph just one year level, one home group, or the students enrolled in a particular subject or class.

Growth graphs

The Growth page maps the growth of students between two semesters, with the user choosing the end semester and the growth period, eg 6 months growth, 12 months, etc.

This page is made up of several graphs and tables, all referencing the same data. There is a legend at the bottom of the graphs that applies across all three graphs and tables.
