Edgenuity - Assessment Edge

Parents and guardians play a vital role in supporting student success. But to be as effective as possible, families need timely information about exactly what is expected of their children and how well their children are meeting those expectations at any point in time. If a student begins to veer

off the path to academic success, it is essential that parents or guardians be alerted to this fact before it is too late. Just as teachers need to review student data on a regular basis to adjust instruction, families need to monitor their child's academic growth on a regular basis to support the teacher in making the required adjustments.

Edgenuity's TransParent Edge application provides families with a confidential, up-to-date profile of their child's academic performance. This view includes everything from content standards and expectations for each course to assignments, test scores, and standards-based report cards or transcripts. Families are informed about when assignments are due as well as comments from the teacher about their child's performance on specific assignments.

District Leadership

TransParent Edge provides a systematic approach to inform families about the district's efforts in the areas of curriculum and assessment. This application establishes a foundation for districts to reach out to families with information about the expectations for each course that the student is taking as well as multiple reports and profiles on student performance. The TransParent Edge reduces the district's costs in providing parents and guardians with copies of student assessment data including report card and transcript information.

Principals and Site Leadership

TransParent Edge enables principals and site leaders with a means to communicate with families about their children's performance using multiple measures of achievement. This provides a more accurate and set of data than just single measures (such as grades or testing) that help principals explain to parents the different evidence that is used to understand a child's level of performance and the support needed to achieve mastery.

Teachers

The TransParent Edge leverages the work that teachers already do to assess their students and provides that information to families without extra work on the part of teachers. The application provides information to families on a timely basis - as teachers correct student work - rather than waiting until the marking term to inform the home of specific needs. The application also disseminates comments made by the teacher about specific assignments. By combining multiple measures, the TransParent Edge fosters deeper discussions about student performance and how best to support each child.

Families

The Transparent Edge provides families with a comprehensive set of student performance measures including grades, rubrics, and testing. This information enables families to understand how students are performing in class, what assignments are missing, and how students differ in their test achievements versus classroom-based assessments. The Transparent Edge also provides families with access to their children's standards-based report cards and final grades, so that they know exactly how well their children are performing at all times not just the end of the marking term.
