Adding an extra layer of comparisons with Console-Comparisons
Console and Console-Comparisons reports look very similar. Both compare your students based on year level and demographics. However, Console-Comparisons allows you to add an extra layer of comparisons.
Console-Comparisons addresses the following questions:
- How are students of a specific gender, ethnicity and/or language doing compared to similar students?
- How are my students doing compared to students in similar schools?
Only the groups you selected are included in the report, and e-asTTle norms refer to only students of your chosen group. For example, selecting "female" will only include your female students. They will be reported against the female e-asTTle norms.
Schools Like Mine
Your school is assigned one of 20 e-asTTle clusters, based on its location, decile, type, and size. Using the “Schools Like Mine” option will show your students’ performance compared to students in your e-asTTle cluster.
Using x-axis options with Console-Comparisons options
Your choice of the comparisons and x-axis options determines how scores are grouped together.
Year is the default option. This gives separate box-and-whisker plots for each year level. For all other options, you will have to select one year at a time.
Steps for choosing comparisons options.
- Select either:
- the demographic of the option you wish to use. You can select one or two.
- the "Schools Like Mine" option.
- Choose "Select X-axis".
- Select the radio button for the option you wish to use.
- If you have selected Year/Gender, Year/Ethnicity, Year/Language Groups or Year/Student Groups, a drop-down box will appear showing the year levels of students who have completed the test. Select one year level.
- (Note that if you select Year/Student Groups and students belong to less than seven groups, the report will automatically generate with these groups. If students belong to eight or more groups, a separate panel will display. You must select up to seven groups and add these groups to the Selected Groups box.)
