State Test Item Analysis
What it shows: Standards performance for every grade on last year's test.
How to use it: Teachers can look at current students' performance for overall strengths and weaknesses or look at last year's performance
Other Analysis: I am highlighting standards where > 50% scored poorly and providing links to resources as appropriate (ex. HS writing rubrics)
