The Item Analysis Report provides teachers with insights into students' performance on specific questions in an assessment. The report displays charts showing the distribution of student responses, with the correct answer shaded differently. Teachers can click on a bar in the chart to see the students who answered with that response. This report is useful for identifying questions that students struggled with and exploring why. To run the report, users need to log into P+, select the desired district and assessment, and then choose the Item Analysis – By Question report. The report displays the students' individual performance and allows users to view the actual question and student portfolios.

What this report look like. This report shows you question by question how the students responded. You see all the released questions. You will see typically 2 pages of questions with charts with the correct answer shaded differently from the others. You can click to see the actual question. You can click on any bar of the chart to see whom the students are who answered with that response. A teacher might want to run this report for the class she taught. For example a 4th grade teacher might want to see how their students did on the 5th^ grade NECAP the following Fall, since it would be assessing what they learned in 4th^ grade. If you have looked at other reports and analyzed how students did in sections of an assessment, you would want to come here to see what questions gave the students problems. You can start finding questions all seemed to do well on and some students struggled with. Then you can explore why? Running this report: You begin by logging into P+ using the Single Sign On (SSO) If you have multiple districts in your SAU, you might want to run your report with one district. To do that select Data View in the icons at the top and then select the district you want to work with. You will now select the Reports icon to begin. At the very top you will see any reports you have saved in My Reports. You can collapse that section by clicking on the little triangle to the left of it.

Some questions that were open-‐ended will show how many students received 0 percent, 25 percent, 50 percent and 100 percent. You can also click on Search Content Library for Questions Related to this Standard. This will take you to Content Library where you can select questions and export them to a Word document. Then you can use those questions with a whole class, for differentiation, for homework, etc. You could always create a focus group of the students, who had problems with the same kind of problems, and then use that to run other reports, or help with exploring more data to create an intervention.
