This lesson contains an overview for using Target Sets in your eduCLIMBER system.

Required Permission: Manage Target Sets

Where to Start

Target Sets are managed by Districts and can be set up in your eduCLIMBER account. Target sets may also be called:

Performance Bands
Performance Levels
Cut Points

Target Sets are a quick way to indicate what range a score fell in by applying a color to the score. They help to quickly identify trends and give actionable meaning to numeric data.

A standard score of 85 is Below Average and we want to see it displayed as Yellow
An accuracy rate of 88 is considered Inaccurate and should display as Red

If a Target set is configured, charts will display in color. Otherwise, they default to a grey display. Below is a chart that was configured with a Target Set:

Here is a chart without a Target Set:

Multiple Target Sets can be created to answer various questions such as:

Screening/Risk - What % of our students are at risk of skill failure?
Proficiency - What % of our students are at proficiency (or some level)?
College-Readiness - What % of our students have scores of college-readiness?
Growth - What % of our students are growing at typical rates?
Accuracy - What % of our students were accurate?
Standard Error - What % of our students were accurate?

The answers to these questions help inform various instructional activities.
