Educators can use this report to determine if growth patterns across achievement levels are consistent for all grades or Keystone content areas. Examining these patterns of growth can help educators identify strengths and areas for improvement involving curriculum, instructional practices, intervention and enrichment opportunities, resource allocation, and the availability of appropriate materials and professional development opportunities.

The data in this report can be a meaningful part of

  • Comprehensive planning
  • Annual LEA/district-level planning
  • Periodic LEA/district-wide grade-level planning
