As we prepare for the start of the coming school
year, we have already rolled PowerSchool up to
2011-2012 (from 2010-2011) and done the same with
Inform. As a result of this, the year will now
default to 11-12. So, how do you analyze last year's
information now?
It's quite easy, and with two steps, you can still analyze the performance of your students from last year--including those who have moved on to middle school or high school for the 2011-2012 school year. These two minor modifications will take place in the left pane of a regular Student Performance Summary query as pictured below.
After logging in to Inform and launching a new query, choose the Subject Area as you normally would.
The next two steps are pictured below and marked with red ovals. Both are noted in text below the image here.
Change the "Year" from the current year (11-12) to last year (10-11).
Change the pull-down for "Enrolled As Of" from "Today (i.e. Currently Enrolled)" to "Test Date (i.e. All Tested)".
Make the rest of the selections for your query. Click on the "Create Report" button, and you will see your results from last year.
