Student Growth Chart


The students shown fell below the class average for the selected test scores. As this chart illustrates, even though they fell below average for the class as a whole, each student shows improvement over time. One student, Katherine, appears to have made a rapid increase in her score, and then decreased on the next test. As a teacher, I would want to look at this to determine the reason. I would also want to meet with each student to identify the reasons their test scores are increasing, so I can provide support them to continue in their upward trend.

This type of graphing was relatively easy and quick, and gives a great visual for the progress of students. When used in a classroom setting, it can give a teacher a quick insight to which students are meeting or exceeding test score expectations, and which ones are falling behind.
