The Proficiency Wheel
The proficiency wheel is an especially helpful tool for teachers to get a "snapshot of proficiency" on a single student. The wheel is based on the structure of the standards system, and shows the students' current performance on increasingly-specific levels of standards. Learn how Forefront calculates proficiency here.
Step 1: Access the student wheel by clicking on a students' name when it is blue and hyperlinked.
This opens the proficiency wheel:
Step 2: Click on a standard to open the student's body of evidence.
This body of evidence can be especially helpful when doing standards-based grading or meeting with student families. Clicking on each assessment shows individual questions and scores.
Step 3: Use the percentages to understand how recency is impacting proficiency. In line with standards-based grading best practices, most recent data is weighted most heavily. Learn more about how Forefront calculates proficiency here.
Step 4: Click the drop down arrows to the right to get more information about the assessment evidence is coming from.
Use the drop-down arrow to the left of the student's name to switch between student proficiency wheels.
