Growth Explorer Report Tool
Purpose: One of many types of reporting tools that are available to enable the easy creation of virtually any kind of report to support efficient process implementation and analysis and interpretation of data. (Other tools include Rubric Explorer and System Reports.)
The Growth Explorer displays data that is collected through single or multiple response items (e.g., drop-down lists, checkboxes, etc.) by representing the information in a graphical format (a one-dimensional heat map), which portrays the frequency with which each response was selected across users, buildings, departments, or the district as a whole. The user can specify a date to see a snapshot or indicate a timeframe to see progress and growth over time for a particular item.
