Galileo? K-12 Online Instructional Improvement and Instructional Effectiveness System

Galileo K-12 Online provides easy access to a wide variety of reports that can be printed or viewed online. These reports are available as part of the Dashboard, in the reports section of Galileo K-12 Online, in the K-12 Student-Parent Center, and in other selected locations designed to provide actionable information to users. Data within Galileo K-12 Online are organized in a hierarchical structure that allows for rapid aggregation at the student, class, school, and district levels using real-time data. Moreover, customizable student demographic filters and the Intervention Groups feature make it possible to generate reports involving disaggregated data for customized groups. Many charts and graphs suitable for presentations are included in the reports. An overview of the reporting capabilities of Galileo K-12 Online with an emphasis on how educators can easily access and act on assessment results from the Dashboard is provided in the document accessible via the following link: All Galileo K-12 Online reports that are based on raw scores are available immediately as soon as the student's responses (for computer-scored items) or teacher scores (for teacher-graded items) have been recorded in Galileo. If the assessment is administered online, responses are recorded in real-time as the student takes the assessment, and the data are available for reports based on raw scores as soon as the student hits the "Exit Test" button signaling that he or she is finished taking the assessment. In addition, the Test Monitoring report presents student responses in real-time as they take the assessment, before "Exit Test" is pressed. If the assessment is taken offline, then reports that draw on raw scores are available as soon as the bubble sheet is scanned into the system. ATI conducts an Item Response Theory analysis of Galileo K-12 Online district/charter-wide assessments (e.g., benchmark, pretest, posttest). In addition, the DL scores on all such assessments are placed on a common scale so that student progress can be monitored, and each is aligned with student scores on the relevant statewide test so that the cut scores will serve as good indicators of the student's likely performance on the statewide assessment. These analyses require that the distribution of student scores be as complete as possible and so cannot be conducted until the district/charter has finished administering the assessment. ATI has many procedures in place that make it possible for these analyses to be conducted quite rapidly. Results from the analyses are typically available one or two days after the completion of the administration of the assessment.
