Reporting with Kathy Richardson

Using the AMC software to chronicle your children's thinking is only the first step toward understanding their thinking so that you can provide activities to push them toward a deeper connection with number and quantity.

The next sensible step is to examine the data. Log into amcanywhere.com and look for the "Reports" icon.

From here, you'll be treated to a bevy of options!

The student detail report is extremely handy in getting to the nitty gritty details of an individual student's thinking. This is also a dynamite report for conferring with parents and colleagues about a particular student performance.

Any notes and comments you provide during their assessment will also appear on this report.


A second useful report for communicating individual student performance is the Student Progress Report.

The progress report lists all assessments within a specific time period, and tracks a student's progress on each task of the assessment.

Moving from specific student performance to your class as a whole, we find the Class Instruction Report. Very useful in showing at a glance which students fall into the Instruction, Practice, and Apply categories for targeted instruction.

In this example, we see all students who have achieved "Apply" status in particular categories. We could adjust the filter to show students needing Instruction and Practice in these same categories.

Finally, the Class Summary Report shows the current level of performance for each student in your class.

Now that you have identified the needs of your children, you will be well equipped to provide the experiences they need. Please refer to the "Linking Assessment and Instruction" sections of you AMC assessment manuals.

Happy Teaching!
