Exporting Individual Student Reports (ISR) per Test Opportunity

To generate and print an Individual Student Report (ISR) for a test opportunity An instance of a student taking a test, use the Student Results Generator. Each ISR is a PDF showing a student's performance on their test. You can select any combination of a test reason, assessments within a subject, and students in order to generate multiple ISRs at once. You may want to generate and print large numbers of ISRs that you can share with students and their parents.

You can generate ISRs from almost any page in Reporting.

ISRs vary according to the type of test and the options you select. Here are some common ISR features:

• At the top of a typical ISR are the student name and SSID, the name of the test, district, and school, and any other relevant information.
• ISRs typically include a summary of the student's performance. Sometimes they display the student's overall performance in a barrel chart showing a vertical scale that may include cut scores and performance levels.
• Some ISRs include information on standard error of measurement (SEM).
• Many ISRs include a comparison table showing the average performance of the district and/or school.
• Many ISRs include a table detailing the student's performance in each reporting category Topic or skill area.
• Some ISRs include a table showing writing dimensions.
• Some ISRs include item-level data, scoring assertions, and/or scoring assertion outcomes.
• Some ISRs include trend reports (similar to Longitudinal Reports).

To generate and print Individual Student Reports:

1.Click the Download Student Results button in the Features & Tools menu. The Student Results Generator window opens. Depending what page you open the Student Results Generator from, the options available to you may be prepopulated or preselected; for example, the Student Portfolio Report prepopulates a single student, and the Student Performance on Test report preselects a single test opportunity. (The filters applied to the page have no effect, however.) You can change the selections.

2.In the panel on the left, select Individual Student Report. Always do this before you make other selections. Switching between the Individual Student Report and Student Data File options may revert some selections.

3.Optional: Select Include only those students who were mine when they tested. This setting allows you to include students who were associated with you at the time of testing (regardless of their current associations). If you mark this checkbox, students who were not associated with you at the time of testing are excluded.

This option appears only if the reporting school year and time are set to the present in Change Reporting Time Period.

4.If you're generating multiple ISRs, choose either a single PDF for all the ISRs, or a ZIP file containing a separate PDF for each one. If you select Single PDF, the Student Results Generator may nonetheless create a ZIP file of multiple PDFs depending on the number of schools, grades, and opportunities included.

5.Under PDF Type, select either a simple or a detailed ISR.

6.If the test opportunity options are not preselected, or if you want to change them, there are two ways to make selections:

• Search for students. In the search field at the upper-right corner, enter up to five comma-separated student IDs and click Search. The resulting list of students and all the tests they've taken will replace any previous selections. To deselect and clear results, click Clear Search Results.
• Use the three accordion sections. (If a student is prepopulated by the Student Portfolio Report, first remove the student by clicking Clear Search Results.) Starting from the left, click the section bars to expand them or use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate. Within each section you must make selections using the radio buttons and checkboxes:

i. In the Select Test Reason section, select a test reason. A test reason typically indicates the timeframe in which an interim or benchmark test was taken.

ii.In the Select Assessments section, choose any number of tests or grade levels within a single subject.

iii.In the Select Students section, choose students from the expandable school and/or class (roster) options. If you're a district-level user, you may choose students in up to three schools. Students not grouped into classes are found under (Students Not In Any Roster).

• Sometimes the list of students is truncated. You can display the entire list by clicking Click to Load More.
• Marking the checkbox for a student in one class (roster) or school also marks it for that student in all their classes or schools, and the same goes for clearing the checkbox.

7.Optional: If you used the accordion sections to make your selections, then to set a range of processing dates for which to generate results, use the Filters menu as follows:

a.Click the Filters button. The menu opens, displaying two date fields.

b.Use the calendar tool to select dates, or enter them in the format mm/dd/yyyy.

c.Click Apply. The results are filtered to include only test opportunities processed by Reporting in that date range. Note that processing date is not always the same as the date a test was taken.

d.Optional: To revert to including results for all available dates, reopen the Filters menu, click Clear Filters, then click Apply.

8. Click Generate. Once ISR generation is finished, the Secure File Center contains the new ISR(s) available for download.

Note that if a student took a test multiple times with different test reasons, an ISR will be generated for each test opportunity. If a student took a test multiple times with the same test reason, only one test opportunity will be included. You can create an ISR for another test opportunity by navigating directly to that opportunity.
