A comprehensive assessment system should measure individual student and schoolwide performance across different tests. Unfortunately, most schools do not have a student information system to house this assessment data. As a minimum, schools can use Microsoft Excel to collect comprehensive student-level data and generate aggregate performance reports with a pivot table, providing assessment results and monitoring in just two clicks.

1. What does the storage of a comprehensive
assessment system look like?
 A frequent ‘required action’ that our schools
get is that they need to implement a
comprehensive assessment system that
measures individual student and aggregate
assessment performance for CSI goals,
curriculum-based tests, and system-wide
assessments.
 Note: Formative ‘USE’ of assessments are
part of this system but refers to the process of
review and instructional action.

2. The Reality
 Unfortunately we do NOT have a student
information system that houses this
information – hence we need to use what we
have
 Microsoft Excel is the least common
denominator accessible for all us.

3. Comprehensive student level data
collection.

4. From individual student
results to aggregate
performance monitoring…all
in 2 clicks (via a Pivot Table).
