Performance Report

On the Reports tab, the Performance reports allow teachers to keep track of their class’s essay scores by trait and total score and by writing genre, as well as by class average for constructed responses.  

Class Averages: Trait and Total Scores Report

The Trait and Total Scores report displays the average score for each of the six writing traits, the total score, and teacher-scored textual evidence and content accuracy scores, if given, by individual student and by class. The averages are calculated using the score from the most recent draft of each essay. The average scores are based on five points for each of the six traits with a maximum of thirty points total.
