The Goals Met Report shows you which students have (or have not) met their reading practice goals for a marking period or the school year. You can choose which goals to include (average percent correct and/or points). This report only applies to goals set using the goal models for grades 3-5 and grades 6 and up; for K-2 goals that use badges, see the Accelerated Reader Record Book.
Students must meet all the goals that you select in order to be in the Met Goal list. Those who haven't met all goals and those who don't have goals will be in the Did Not Meet Goal list.
Note: Reading range goals are not included on this report.
To generate the report, follow these steps:
- If you have a Home page tile like the first example below, select Reports; then, select Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice in the menu. If your home page is Renaissance Next, select Reports under My Data on the left side of the page; then, select Accelerated Reader Reports.
When you go to the Reports page, the tab Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice tab is open. - Scroll down to the Certifications and Achievement section of the page and select the Goals Met Report tile.
- Select the School drop-down list (if available) and choose your school.
- The Students drop-down list defaults to all of your classes in the selected school. If you want to select a single class instead, select it from the drop-down list.
If you want to include multiple classes, but not all, select the Classes link under the drop-down list. Then, in the Select Classes window, check the classes that you want to include. To find specific classes quickly, search for them using the field at the top of the window. To clear any boxes you have checked so far, select the Clear All link at the bottom of the window. When you're done selecting classes for the report, select Save Selection. The Students drop-down list will show you how many classes you chose.
If you want to select specific groups instead, select the Groups link under the Students drop-down list; then, check the groups to include. You can search for groups or clear selections as you can when you select classes. When you're done, select Save Selection.
If you want to include specific students on the report, select the Students link. In the Select Students window, you can use the drop-down list to select a specific grade to help narrow the results. Enter a student's name (first and/or last) to find each student, then check their name. (Note that after you check each student, they remain in the selected student count at the bottom of the window as you search for and select the next student.) When you're done, select Save Selection. - If you want to use demographic data to focus the report on specific students, select Choose Demographics.
How to choose demographics
By default, the "All" option is chosen for ethnicity, gender, language (the students' primary language, if specified), and grade level. To focus the report on specific groups, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then check your selections in that column. Note that ethnicity, gender, primary language, and grade level may be specified for students when you add them to the software, but only grades are required; other information may not be available for your students.
In the example above, the user has selected one Language and three Grade 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 focus the report on students with specific characteristics, choose Select Characteristics; then, check the characteristics that you are interested in. You must also choose any or all above the check boxes 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 (ADA and ESL). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are ADA, ESL, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both ADA and ESL 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 have 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).
- Next, choose how you want to group the students on the report. You can group students by classes/group or by grade, or you can choose not to group the students and to list all students alphabetically.
- By default, the report will include the current school year. If you want to see goals for a specific marking period, select the Marking Period field, then choose the marking period to include on the report.
- Use the Reading Level Scale to choose whether to use ATOS book levels or Lexile measures in the report.
- Next, choose which students to include: those who have met all of the goals you check, those who did not meet all goals, or both students who met the goals and those who did not. Then, check the goals that you want to include in the report. Remember that students must meet all of the goals that you include in order to be in the "Met Goal" list. Reading range goals are not included.
- Select Update Report under the report options.
- The report will open below the report options, showing the students in each category that you included.
