Report Overview
Digital EMA@School provides comprehensive reporting that helps teachers, administrators, and support staff understand student performance and plan appropriate interventions.
Report Components
Overall Performance Rankings
The assessment provides:
- Performance Level Indicators: Shows where students fall relative to grade-level expectations
- Risk Identification: Flags students who may be at risk for later math difficulties
- Growth Tracking: Enables comparison across multiple administrations
Per-Measure Information
Detailed breakdowns include:
- Subdomain Scores: Performance in Symbols, Relations, and Operations
- Individual Task Performance: Specific strengths and areas for improvement
- Pattern Analysis: Identification of consistent patterns across tasks
Individual Strengths and Limitations
Reports highlight:
- Areas of Strength: Skills where students demonstrate competence
- Areas for Growth: Skills that need additional support
- Instructional Recommendations: Specific next steps for instruction
Interpreting Results
Understanding Performance Levels
Performance levels indicate:
- On Track: Student demonstrates expected skills for grade level
- At Risk: Student may need additional support to meet grade-level expectations
- Significantly Below: Student needs intensive intervention
Using Subdomain Information
Each subdomain provides unique insights:
- Symbols: Foundation skills that support all other learning
- Relations: Understanding of how numbers work together
- Operations: Ability to work with numbers in problem-solving contexts
Identifying Patterns
Look for:
- Consistent Patterns: Skills that are consistently strong or weak
- Unexpected Results: Performance that differs from classroom observations
- Growth Opportunities: Areas where targeted instruction can make a difference
