A Graphical Transition Table for Communicating Status and Growth
Wyse, Adam E.; Zeng, Ji; Martineau, Joseph A.
Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, v16 n11 Jun 2011
This paper introduces a simple and intuitive graphical display for transition table based accountability models that can be used to communicate information about students' status and growth simultaneously. This graphical transition table includes the use of shading to convey year to year transitions and different sized letters for performance categories to depict yearly status. Examples based on Michigan's transition table used on their Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) assessments are provided to illustrate the utility of the graphical transition table in practical contexts. Additional potential applications of the graphical transition table are also suggested. (Contains 5 figures and 4 tables.)
