Star Target History Report

The Star Target History Report is used to monitor how well students are progressing toward their Star assessment targets. The report includes the target start and end dates and the students' actual achievements for the time period.

1. Use the Subject drop-down list to select the subject for the report: Reading or Maths.
   
   
2. The Assessment Types will automatically be set depending on the chosen subject: Star Reading Enterprise for Reading and Star Maths Enterprise for Maths. (As of this writing, targets cannot be set for Star Early Literacy, so there is no need to choose between Star Reading Enterprise and Star Early Literacy when the subject is Reading.)
3. Use the School drop-down list to select the school you want to create the report for.
   
   
   • You can only create the report for one school at a time.
   • School level administrators, school staff, and teachers can only select one of their own schools.
   • If you only have access to a single school, you will not need to make a selection (the School drop-down list will not be shown in this case).
4. Use the Students drop-down list to select either a single class at the chosen school, or choose All Classes to select all the classes at the chosen school.
   
   
   • School administrators and school staff can only select classes in their own school.
   • Teachers can only select their own classes.
   
   To select specific classes, groups, or students at the chosen school, use the links below the Students drop-down list. Selecting one of these links will open a corresponding pop-up window; in that window, tick the box at the top of the list to select all the available choices, or make individual selections below it. You can enter search criteria in the field at the top of the window to find a specific class, group, or student. (In the "Select Students" pop-up window, school network- and school-level users can select a year to narrow down the list of students.)
   
   
   
   • School administrators and school staff can only select classes, groups, or students in their own school.
   • Teachers can only select their own classes, their own groups, or students enrolled in one of their own classes.
   
   Once you have made your choices, select Save Selection at the bottom of the pop-up window.

5. If you want to use demographic data to further refine the data in the report, select Choose Demographics...
   
   

   By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language, and Year Level. To reduce the scope, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then tick your selections in that column.
   
   In the example above, the user has selected two Languages and three Year Levels, while leaving Ethnicity and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

   By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To reduce the scope, choose Select Characteristics... and then tick each characteristic you want students in the report to have. You must also choose any or all (after "Include students with") to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.
   
   In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (Children from Service Families and EAL Competent). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are Children from Service Families, EAL Competent, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both Children from Service Families and EAL Competent would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.

   Once you are finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).
6. Use the Date Range drop-down list to choose the dates you want to generate the report for. You can select an existing marking period, screening window, or you can select Custom... and set your own dates (use the calendars to select a range of dates or type them in the fields using dd/mm/yyyy format; then select Apply to use the dates you have chosen or Cancel to close this pop-up without saving your selection). Dates can be in the current school year or up to three years prior to the current school year.
   
   

   If schools use their own unique date ranges within a school network screening window, those ranges will all have the same name. To help you tell them apart, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name.
   

7. Tick Hide Groups Without Data if you want to have students without test data omitted from the report.
   
8. Once you are done choosing report options, select Update Report.
9. The report will generate and then open at the bottom of the page.
   
   For the selected students, you will see any Star targets they had set within the chosen date range, what those targets were, and whether they achieved them or not. Students who had no targets set will be listed with "No Targets Set" in place of the date range.
10. You can change any of the options you have selected and then regenerate the report by selecting Update Report.
11. To print the report, select the PDF icon at the top of the screen: .
12. To return to the Reports page, select either Back to Reports or the report icon at the top of the screen.
