Visualize Data

Model Scenario:

I need to identify ELs at my campus.

I want to know their Speaking Levels and home language.

I also want to visualize the breakdown of Speaking Levels.

Use Filters, Fields, and Charts to form a clear picture of your students.

Directions: Navigate to the Student List. Use the guidance below to use Filters, Fields, and Charts to form a clear picture of your students.

Filters

Zoom in on a subset of students

Open your Student List, and Filter to show only current ELs.

Click the AND button within your Filters section and add a Grade Level refinement of your choice (e.g. K-2, or High School students).

Fields

Focus on the right details

Next, add any two English Proficiency Level Fields (e.g. Reading Levels and Writing Levels) to help you learn more about these students’ domain proficiencies.

Rearrange the order of your Fields as desired. Finally, select an English Proficiency Level Field to sort by so that you can see your lowest performing students at the top of the list.

Chart

Find the perfect pose of key data

Lastly, add a Chart by their Reading Level.
