This article gives an overview of different ways for teachers to analyze class-level assessment data in Forefront.
The Overview Page
The first view in a class is the overview page. It shows proficiencies calculated from all the programs, which are the tabs across the top.
On the overview page, each column (in this case, the Common Core math domains) supports sorting and drilling in more specific standards.
Sorting and Drilling Into Proficiencies
To sort proficiencies: Hover at the top of the column to see the option to sort.
Click the columns to sort the proficiencies.
To drill down into standards: Click the top of the column to go deeper.
This opens any standards or clusters below the top level. Remember that there may be multiple levels. Use the red arrow to go back.
The ability to sort is supported throughout drilling down into standards.
