How to Look at Student-Level Data

This article gives an overview of different ways for teachers to analyze student-level assessment data in Forefront. 

The Proficiency Wheel

The proficiency wheel is an especially helpful tool for teachers to get a “snapshot of proficiency” on a single student. The wheel is based on the structure of the standards system, and shows the students’ current performance on increasingly-specific levels of standards.

Step 1: Access the student wheel by clicking on a students’ name when it is blue and hyperlinked.

Step 2: Click on a standard to open the student’s body of evidence.

This body of evidence can be especially helpful when doing standards-based grading or meeting with student families. Clicking on each assessment shows individual questions and scores.

Step 3: Use the drop-down arrow to the left of the student’s name to switch between student proficiency wheels.
