As a District Administrator, you can generate a growth projection report. Growth projection reports calculate the scores that individual students need on a second benchmark assessment to meet a growth goal.
Before you can generate a growth projection report, students must have already taken the first of two benchmarks. Once generated, you can export and view the data as a CSV file. After students take the second assessment, you can also generate growth reports to assess how successfully students met a growth goal. Learn more about growth reports and calculations.
Notes:
- Only Mastery Connect accounts with SIS integrations can generate growth reports.
- Growth reports are a District Administrator-level feature.
- You can only generate a growth report for current-year benchmarks that are private to your district, marked as unavailable, and in a current-year tracker.
