  NEW Estimated Growth Summary, Early School Closure Edition  (Iowa Assessments only)

  The Estimated Growth Summary, Early School Closure (ESC) Edition, provides two points of comparison for students in each content area that you select: the estimated growth summary for students in a typical school year (TSY) versus the estimated growth for students with the ESC factored in.

  Important: Students must have tested at least once during the 2018-2019 school year and once since QM 25 2020 (March 8-15, 2020) to make this report available.

  For each Content Scope that you have selected for the report, the number and percentage of students scoring within the TSY estimated growth versus the ESC estimated growth appears on a color-coded bar graph. The number of months delayed is indicated along the bottom row of the report. Student scores are paired as TSY and ESC in blocks of months delayed, from 0 months delay to 1-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-10 months, and over 10 months delay.

  In the example below, the TSY estimate for the 4-6-month growth delay segment equals 11% or one student, whereas the adjusted growth delay predicts twice that number (22% or two students).

  

  To view a Student Roster report for one of the segments, click the percent number at the top of the bar.
