DataDirector Report / Description / Analysis / Comparable Report from University of Oregon
Student Profile Report / A comprehensive student profile of demographic, student learning, school process, and perceptions data / The report expands and contracts to add more years of data. Print functions allow this report to easily be shared at parent/IEP meetings / Individual Student Performance Profiles that track students’ DIBELS scores across multiple grades and for all measures
Class Progress / Individual student results for one grade level on one measure over multiple opportunities / Color coding shows progress made by a student in a DIBELS measure across the year. There is also a graph function. / Class Progress Graphs that list all students in class in a line graph form
Distribution Summary / Aggregated (total) and disaggregated (individual) student results of one grade level on multiple measures at one opportunity by level of risk for each measure and instructional recommendation across all measures / A bar graph shows percentage of students at each category of achievement (benchmark, strategic, intensive), along with “drill down” capabilities to identify students who need differentiated instruction in specific measures / Distribution Report
Progress Monitoring Report (Graph) / Individual student results for one or more years on one measure over multiple opportunities representing the progress of each student / A line graph, along with trend lines and aimlines, traces the progress of each student’s performance / Progress Monitoring Reports that show all students who have been progressed monitored in graph format and list the benchmark goals. It also includes an aimline.
Progress Monitoring Report (Table) / Individual student results for one or more years on one measure over multiple opportunities representing the progress of each student / Color coding shows each category of achievement (benchmark, strategic, intensive) to identify students who need differentiated instruction in specific measures
Summary of Effectiveness Report / Aggregated (total) and disaggregated (individual) student results for one grade level on one measure over two opportunities to identify whether or not the benchmark goal was reached. / Analyze the progress of students to evaluate the effectiveness of benchmark (core curriculum), strategic and intensive programs / Summary Chart
Instructional Recommendation
Report / Aggregated (total) and disaggregated (individual) student results for one grade level on multiple measures at one opportunity to identify instructional program recommendation / Color coding shows each category of achievement (benchmark, strategic, intensive) to identify students who need differentiated instruction in specific measures / Class List Report that lists all students in the class and their scores in chart format. It also includes a set of “instructional recommendations” for each student.
Student Achievement Summary Report / Individual student results for one or more years on multiple measures over multiple opportunities representing the progress of each student / The report allows users to show progress on all DIBELS assessments on one screen. / Individual Student Performance Profiles
