The Measure Growth feature helps you understand student progress over time by rerunning a Mission or GameShow with comparable questions. You can measure growth multiple times, view unique reports for each checkpoint, and track progress from the initial attempt to the most recent one. Growth activities can be assigned to the whole class or select students, making it easy to measure the impact of instruction or targeted interventions.
Prerequisites
- You must have already run a Mission or GameShow activity.
- Students must have completed the initial activity for you to see the growth between two activities.
How to Run Measure Growth
1. Run your activity
Run a Mission (Normal/Assessment mode) or GameShow activity as you normally would.
2. Open the report
Go to the Reports page for that completed activity.
3. Click Measure Growth
You’ll see a Measure Growth button on the report page.
4. Rerun the activity
Assign the activity again. Students will receive new, comparable questions each time.
5. View your Growth Report
A green leaf appears beside each activity with a growth attempt, and a new dropdown in the Growth tab lets you compare any two reports.
6. Measure growth again
You can run Measure Growth multiple times. Each attempt generates a new comparable-question activity and a separate Growth Report to review progress.
Tips & Best Practices
💡 Pro Tip: Use growth checkpoints before and after targeted interventions to quickly see impact.
⚠️ Warning: Growth is only meaningful if student participation is high; low participation may skew data.
FAQs / Troubleshooting
Why do I see a leaf icon on some activities?
It indicates that at least one growth attempt exists for that activity.
Why are the questions different in the new attempt?
Each Measure Growth run uses comparable but not identical questions to avoid memorization.
Can students see their growth?
Students see their activity results, while teachers see full Growth Reports.
Why can’t I find the comparison dropdown?
Ensure you are viewing the Growth tab of an activity with at least two growth attempts.
