The Progress Reports is an indicator of the change that has occurred in children’s development from an initial observation period to a subsequent observation period. There must be at least two points in time (observational dates). This report shows the percentage of children at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of a specific developmental path. There is an Individual Progress Report.
TIP: This is available to Agency-, Center-, and Class-level users.
You can compare the level of development of the children at the beginning of the year versus the level of the children at the end of the year. This report shows the overall progress of children over time. Progress reports are a great way to prove you are successfully impacting children, without having to pull out sheets and sheets of reports.
1. Click Reports>Progress Reports (under Observation Reports).
2. If you are an Agency-level user or a Center-level user with access to more than one center, select the Center and Class for which you wish to generate a report.
a. Agency-level users or Center-level users with access to more than one center may generate an aggregate report by selecting the multiple centers.
b. Agency-, Center-level, or Class-level users with access to more one class may select the multiple classes.
3. Use the drop-down Scale field to select the scale.
4. Determine the date range by entering the:
a. Period One Start date and Period One End date
b. Period Two Start date and Period Two End date
c. NOTE: The shorter the interval between start and end dates, the less change you will see between the two graphs. This is because true progress happens over time.
5. Determine if you want to only include children with observations in BOTH periods by placing a checkmark in this field.
a. Leaving this checked will report only on children who were enrolled in your program and had data in both periods.
b. Deselecting this box will include all children enrolled in your program with data as of the end date. In this case, the number of children from one date to the other will be different if your enrollment has changed.
6. (optional) In the Optional Filters and Settings section:
a. Select the Gender for which you would like to view the report. By leaving both boxes checked you will see a report for all male and female children.
b. Using the down arrow select the Age Range which you would like to include in your report.
i. When the age range is set to zero, the children’s of all ages who has a documented observation are included in your report.
ii. To produce a report targeting children who will be age appropriate for Kindergarten next year, filter children between the ages of 4 years 0 months and 5 years 0 months as of the beginning of the current school year. This will produce a report showing the children who will be 5 years old next year and therefore, may be transitioning to Kindergarten.
iii. Using the down arrow select the As of date.
7. Use the down arrow on the Form drop-down menu to select the form which includes the variables you would like to use to filter.
8. Using the checkboxes select the variables which you would like to include in your report.
9. Click the Run Report button.
