This article answers frequently asked questions about Personalized Learning reports.
Q: What are the Standards and Skills Graph?
A:
The Standards and Skills Graph functions like a knowledge map capturing everything a student is expected to know and be able to do in mathematics.
Q: What data does the Standards and Skills Graph show?
A: The Standards and Skills Graph depicts student and class proficiency in alignment with standards and the individual skills that students must have in order to master a standard.
Q: What data does the Standards and Skills Graph show?
A: The Standards and Skills Graph depicts student and class proficiency in alignment with standards and the individual skills that students must have in order to master a standard.
Q:
Are all assessments supported?
A: Spanish assessments are not supported at this time.
Q: What do the different rings represent?
A: The Standards and Skills Graph is divided into four rings of data. The inner two rings are the grade and mathematical domains that are based on data from the NWEA MAP assessment. The outer two rings are the standards and skills associated with the inner rings. These rings are based on the data from the digital interactions within the McGraw Hill platforms.
Q: How do I navigate the Standards and Skills Graph?
A: The Standards and Skills Graph is easily navigated with just a click of the mouse; click on each ring to dig deeper into the data, click on the inner ring to return to the larger data picture, and click on individual dots to move from class to student view.
Q: How will I use the Standards and Skills Graph?
A: The data collected by the Standards and Skills Graph will enable educators to quickly, effectively, and precisely draw conclusions about learning at the individual and class levels. Instead of reading spreadsheets, tables, and charts with disparate data, educators can look at a comprehensive, tangible representation of learning and easily come away with critical insights. These insights can help drive instruction for the whole class, small groups, and individual learners. The visual representation of the data also allows educators to show students and parents how students are progressing toward achieving grade-level competency.
Q: How often is the data updated?
A: The data collected in the Standards and Skills graph is updated on a regular basis. For the inner rings, this data is updated every time a student takes a MAP assessment (which is usually 3 times a year). The outer two rings are updated daily when students interact with the resources on the McGraw Hill platforms.
Q: What does Personalized Learning do with the data that is collected?
A: Personalized Learning recommends activities or assignments that address the specific skills or combination of skills students need to work on in order to master standards. To make it easier, it's all available at the point of use within the course. Educators can identify gaps and areas of growth and assign adaptive homework in one platform, all in a few clicks.
Q: Where do the recommendations come from?
A: The richness and precision of the data allow our data scientists and learning scientists to map the suggested remediation and enrichment skills right to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, meeting students right where they need to skill up and achieve mastery.
Q: What are the recommendations based on?
A: The recommendations are based on how proficient a student has been with a standard or skill in assessments and activities. Proficiency estimates weigh recent scores more heavily than past scores.
Q: What type of recommendations are available?
A: The following options are available recommendations:

Q: What type of recommendations are available?
A: The following options are available recommendations:
- Take Another Look Activities
- Provide a complete instructional experience of a concept including introduction and explanation of the concept, supported practice, and independent assessed practice.
- Designed to take about 15 minutes.
- As a Personalized Learning participant, you will have access to Take Another Look resources that support different levels of skill proficiency.
- Extra Practice
- Additional problem sets of on-level content to provide additional opportunities for your students to practice the concept
- Available support built into the digital content, including videos, hints, explanations, and additional Learning Aids may also be provided to the student at your discretion
- Multiple attempts may also be allowed at your discretion
- Extension
- Additional resources may be available depending on the lesson such as Extension activities
- These will typically be recommended for students who have mastered the concepts in the current lesson and are well-prepared to apply the concepts in a new way
