Choose Kennedy MS as the demo account. Here you will see all the school administrators for Kennedy MS. At the top are the various ARO features.

ROSTERS

Rosters: with class assignments This roster shows kids registered in ARO for various programs, including Math Navigator. This class column can be labeled by the school. Each student is linked to their teacher for every program they are enrolled in.

Rosters: with test assignments Roster with test assignments indicates which tests each student is in queue to take.

Rosters: staff list The staff lists each teacher with his or her user role in the system.

Rosters: class list The class list roster lists the number of students enrolled in each teacher’s class.

PRINT TESTS & MANAGE

Print Test The Print Test tab is where teachers can find the Screener tests, as well as the pre- and post-tests for every module. Notice both the 2007 edition (non-Common Core) and the 2012 edition (Common Core) are found here. Feature to show customers!

Print Test Remember, a screener test helps the teacher uncover the math concepts that prove most difficult for a student, allowing the teacher to determine which module is most appropriate for the student. The pre-test is then administered which will further unveil specific problem areas on that particular concept. The post-test is taken after the module is completed to assess student progress. **Helpful to show an actual print-out test from ARO site. Feature to show customers!

Manage Update Test End Date lets a teacher do exactly that – change the date for a test to no longer be available. Associate Students to Test allow a teacher to assign students to a test.

REPORTS

Reports The Reports tab is one of the most important features in ARO. During a demo, the three most important reports to show are the Screener Detail Report, the Roster Report, and the Checkpoint Report.

Reports: Screener Detail Report When choosing the Screener Detail Report, notice the Roman numeral – this indicates the grade level the test is intended for, meaning the type of questions should be fit for a student in this grade (i. e. , VI is meant for a student in grade 6). Choose the Report for All Students. Opt to display in HTML and submit. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Screener Detail Report Things to note: • All boxes in yellow indicate incorrect responses • Each number = the letter to an answer (i. e, 1=A, 2=B, etc) • Modules are listed at the top. About 5 -6 questions on the Screener test covered questions on each topic (on each module). Notice the questions that fall under each module are hyperlinked. This allows the teacher to see the specific question and the possible answers. A question that received many incorrect responses should be analyzed. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Screener Detail Report Under module “Understanding Fractions, ” we see question 17 Clicking on the hyperlinked received many incorrect responses. question 17, we see the question, the multiple choice answers, and the percentage of students who picked each answer. Clicking on the hyperlinked response (here, B), we see the misconception the student has regarding this very specific math skill. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Screener Detail Report Scroll to the bottom of the original screener detail report and a teacher will find the items (questions) where more than 50% of the students tested chose the same incorrect response. These questions are also hyperlinked. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Screener Detail Report Scroll to the right of the original screener report and a teacher will find a summary of every module where students scored 50% or below in that module. Important to note – this will help teachers determine which module the student should be placed in. Example – many students scored poorly in measurement. The measurement module is recommended for these students. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Roster Report In the Roster Report, click on a module (i. e. , Understanding Fractions), view in HTML, and submit. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Roster Report Here we see a similar layout to the Screener Detail Report. However, to the right of the hyperlinked items, there is a hyperlinked misconception(s) noting students who may have or do have misconceptions. A half circle represents a possible misconception while a full circle represents a misconception present. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Roster Report Click on the hyperlinked misconception to see which students DO HAVE the misconception, POSSIBLY have the misconception, or DO NOT have the misconception. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Roster Report Just below the Pre-test results are the Post-test results. Notice the circles indicating misconceptions have significantly been reduced compared to the Pre-test results. Just below this is the Growth Report listing students who’ve made progress. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Checkpoint The Checkpoint report will show the progress students are making within a module. For a paper/pencil test, the teachers submits the number of correct answers at the checkpoint section. Two checkpoints are assessed here: • Checkpoint one – covers day 1 -14; • Checkpoint two – covers day 14 -end Feature to show customers!

Reports: Checkpoint Here we see each student listed and the progress he or she is making based on color codes. Green indicates the student is on target. Yellow indicates the student may not be on target. Red indicates the student is not making progress. Feature to show customers! Clicking on the hyperlinked Checkpoint will put students in order based on progress.

Reports: Individual Student Report Choose student “Jamie Clouser” Choose: Kennedy MS> Classes> SY 11 -12 – Math Navigator Individual Student Reports allow a teacher to see specific test information for a particular student. It will indicate start/completed dates of when tests were taken, scores, and the specific lessons the student should focus on in the module. This report can even be used as a progress report to send to parents. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Individual Student Report Under “Info” are the Navigator module tests the student is scheduled to take or has completed. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Individual Student Report Click on a module to view the results/progress made from pre-test to post-test for the individual student. Create a PDF and send this report to parents. Results for the pre-test and post-test are displayed, comparing student performance to the class, school, and other Navigator students. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Individual Student Report Notice here on the pre-test results, each answer to every question is listed – both the student’s answers and the correct answers. For all incorrect answers, the misconception is listed as well as the lessons that should be focused on to correct those misconceptions. Post-test answers and misconceptions are also listed as you scroll down this page. Feature to show customers!

Reports: Screener Summary Report The Screener Summary Report is another way to view the Screener results and recommend modules. The top of the report lists out the results for every module. Each shows the students who have scored 50% or below on a module. Click on a hyperlinked percentage to see a list of names who scored 50% or lower on a module. Notice students who may need to be re-assessed is hyperlinked, allowing a teacher to see a list of names of students who may not need intervention.

Reports: Aggregate Portfolio Report The Aggregate Portfolio Report should be run after students have taken the pre- and post-tests. The report shows all modules that have been tested. “Matched Students” are students who have taken both the pre- and post-tests (as some students who transferred, for example, may have only taken one).

HELP!

HELP! The Help section can be found on the homepage. Here customers can upload data, add students, and troubleshoot. The forms/templates tab, users will find student enrollment templates, answer submission forms (for paper/pencil tests that need answers to be manually uploaded to ARO), and personnel enrollment templates.
