Follow the slideshow to see how, for eachpupil, the Scorer/Profiler calculates

chronological age, standardised score andreading age, and generates a Pupil Profile

including a diagnostic analysis.

See how it also generates a comprehensiverange of group performance analyses,

calculating group summary statistics, includingminimum, maximum and mean raw scores

and standardised scores, standard deviation,and comparisons with national norms.

The installer willinstall all four ERTScorer/Profilers andplace an icon onyour desktop.

Network Use

The Settings functionallows you to choosewhere you want all yourdata stored - this can beyour local drive or on thenetwork (probably givingyou automatic backup).

End

You can add pupil details and testdata to the program either

through an easy-start Wizard orvia the main application.

End

The Wizard

The Wizard takes you through the data-entryprocess step by step. It guides you through

setting up a Cohort (giving each group ofpupils a unique identifier - for example, theyear the group entered your school), addingpupils to the Cohort and then entering their

test results.

End

The toolbar at the top of the screen,used with the ‘tree’, on the left of the screen,

gives you access to all the functionality of the program.

From here you can add pupils, cohorts andclasses, print reports, look at the result list

and much more.

The Main ApplicationEnd

As you add pupils to the database, theyare listed on the tree on the left of thescreen. There is a node for each School(if more than one school name has beenentered - useful for peripatetic staff) and,below that, separate nodes for Cohortand Pupil.

The Cohort node lists all cohorts in theschool, split by class. The Pupil nodelists all the pupils in the schoolalphabetically.

The Navigation TreeEnd

Entering Pupil Details

All the pupil details needed to run the Scorer/Profiler and to produce reports are added via this screen.

If you enter a school name, this will be included on all the reports. If the data are already stored in an electronic

format, they can be imported.

End

Entering Test Results

Test results can be entered via the main application - by selecting the appropriate Cohort on the ‘tree’ and then by clicking Manage Cohort (for groups) or Add Test

Data (for individual pupils) on the toolbar - or via the Wizard.

In either case, the results are added using a screen similar to the one on the next slide.

(This one is from the Wizard.)

Entering Test Results - cont.All you need to do is to enter the test date (today’s

date is set as the default), change the class if necessary, and then type in the ERT

subtest scores. Or you can import them.

The program will then calculate the standardised score, percentile and reading age, and plot a graph showing each pupil’s performance, as shown on the

next slide.

End

End

Pupil ProfileYou can view/print a PupilProfile, giving a completesummary of the pupil’stest results. Firsthighlight the pupil in the‘tree’, select the requiredtest date and then clickPrint on the toolbar.

The Pupil Profiles for awhole cohort can beprinted from the ManageCohort button on thetoolbar.

End

Group PerformanceTo look at group performance, selectthe Cohort or Class whose data youwish to analyse from the ‘tree’ asshown on the left. Then select thetest date(s) you wish to include in theanalysis.

You will then see a screen like theone on the next slide. It showssummary statistics for the group - forall pupils, and split by gender - withgraphs of the raw score distributionsand the standardised scorescompared to the national distribution.

End

End

Group Performance - cont.You can also view the performance graphs for just boys, just girls, or boys and girls,

where the raw and standardised scoredistributions are shown.

Or you can look at subtest performance - just click on the radio button next to thesubtests in which you are interested.
