How do I use assessment partner (NWEA, Star, or iReady) data to determine progress monitoring level?

Many districts choose to integrate results from partner assessments, including NWEA, STAR, and iREADY into Classworks.

• When this data is available, student results are seen on these screens:
  • Progress Monitoring: Percentile Rank and MTSS Tier Recommendation
  • Student Detail: Date of administration, score details, and grade level equivalent(s)
• The results available are dependent on which partner assessment the district has activated.
