Accessing Detailed Analysis

Detailed Analysis allows leadership to view evaluation data and discover trends at the district or school levels. This helps districts identify coaching needs and plan professional learning to address them. Ensuring appraisers understand the rubric they use to evaluate appraisees is important for a successful evaluation process. 

Appraisers and appraisal administrators can use evaluation data to identify skew in multiple areas to determine calibration needs. To ensure success, see how to connect your evaluation documents to the framework to maximize analysis results. This article explores how to use Detailed Analysis for Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) purposes.

Access Detailed Analysis

Step 1: Select Analysis and Reports from the main navigation menu in Strive.

Step 2: In the Detailed Analysis section, use the drop-down menus to customize your display settings:

• Choose the Data and Dates to be included in the data view. Detailed Analysis only looks at matrix items. You can filter by Observations, Evaluations, Summatives, and Walkthroughs but will only see data for the templates that use matrix questions that are tagged to the framework. (To view data from templates that do not use matrix questions, use the Document Summary.)
• Decide what information types you want represented by the Columns and Rows. 
• If desired, select an option from the Group By field. You can group by Schools, Appraisers, Appraisees, Grade Levels, Subjects, Appraisee Types, Domain, Dimension, and Year.
• Select the View to determine how data is displayed.

Note: Detailed Analysis is a dynamic data view, so you can change your initial display settings once you see the view. Your data will immediately adjust to new filters.

Step 3: Select Create when ready. 

Note: Subjects and Grade Levels are captured directly in evaluation documents. If appraisers do not add these fields to evaluations, the data appears as Not Set. This limits some of the data view and also creates blanks on the TIA Export.

Display Setting Suggestions to Identify Skew

To identify skew, district leaders can select the following display settings:

• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Appraisers, Group By Schools
• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Subjects, Group By Schools
• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Grade Levels, Group By Schools (especially helpful at elementary)
• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Schools, no Group By

School leaders can select the following display settings:

• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Appraisees, Group By Appraisers
• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Appraisees, Group By Subjects or Grade Levels
• Columns = Dimensions, Rows = Subjects or Grade Levels, Group By Appraisers

Any combination of display settings provides valuable information depending on your needs. For example, district administrators might set Dimensions in the Columns drop-down menu and Appraisers in the Rows drop-down menu to check rubric calibration needs across the district. In addition, they could use the Group By drop-down menu to group them by Schools.

School administrators might set Dimensions in the Columns drop-down menu, Appraisees in the Rows drop-down menu, and Appraisers in the Group By drop-down menu to see how many documents each appraiser has completed and also any trends in the outcomes.

Once you’ve chosen the display settings, you can drill down further using the filter row.

Select one or more to limit your results. For example, an assistant superintendent might use the Schools filter and select all the schools in the feeder pattern they supervise.

Select the Bookmark icon at any time to save your preferred filters as a preset. You can save multiple filters and quickly toggle between them.
