What can these scores tell you about student knowledge and skills?

How can you use this information to adjust instruction in the classroom?

The report was called Individual Student Report. What I liked about that report, is at bottom it included what type of Performance Task students completed (Argumentative, Narrative, or Informational) and their scores out of the 4-4-2 possible. I believe I got that report through TOMS, but I cannot locate it anymore (I may have found it somewhere else, but it did come from CAASPP). I have also downloaded the Summative Reports in CERS which still gives individual student data, but does not give the breakdown of the Performance Task. Where can I go to get the Individual Student Report? ]]> 2021-11-05 15:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110521/wish/1870296416 I am hoping that sometime during this session, to gather rationale to convince my hs English department to do the interim assessments. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110521/wish/1870312349 2021-11-05 15:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110521/wish/1870312349 Can Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments be used with groups of students? ctalako https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110521/wish/1870332441 2021-11-05 16:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110521/wish/1870332441 Overwhelming format - no headings to help separate.
