Types of Assessments #

The QuaverReady Insight Assessment assesses five core competencies:

• Self-Awareness
• Self-Management
• Social Awareness
• Relationship Skills
• Responsible Decision-Making

The assessments, or surveys, are a short set of statements, each answered on a rating scale. The platform scores the answers, bands the scores into tiers, and rolls them up from a single student to a class, a school, and a district.

There are five types of available assessments in Quaver’s Insight Assessment:

1. Educator about a student – you open the assessment from the roster and complete it yourself. The most common pattern, and the only one that produces lesson and intervention recommendations.
2. (COMING SOON!) Student about themselves – you assign it; the student completes it from their own portal. You cannot complete it on their behalf.
3. Educator about themselves – an educator takes it from My Assessments and chooses, at submission, whether to keep the result private or share it with school leadership.
4. Outside educator via share link – a single-use link lets someone without a Quaver account complete an assessment about one of your students. They type their own name into “Assessed By”.
5. (COMING SOON!) Parent via the Parent Portal – a parent launches an assessment about their child from the Parent Portal, under the student’s account. It attaches to the student’s record like any other assessment.

Functions Within the Assessment #

Autosave	Every answer saves on its own about a second after you select it. Closing the tab mid-way loses nothing.
Save Draft	Forces an immediate save and confirms it. Return to the same link any time to pick up where you left off.
Remaining Count	Sits above the buttons and counts down. Submit Survey stays disabled until every statement is answered.
Preview Snapshot	On student assessments, shows the MTSS Snapshot as it stands with the answers entered so far, without submitting.
Print	Prints the assessment with your answers, under a branded header.
Delete	Removes the assessment. Use it for an assessment started on the wrong student or by mistake.
Read-Aloud	On assessments with audio enabled, each question carries a play button.
Rubrics	Some statements carry a rubric — an icon on the statement opens the descriptors for each rating so raters score consistently.
EN / ES	Switches languages in place when the assessment has Spanish content.

On the far right of each statement is an information icon. The information icon provides a detailed rubric to assist you in assessing each statement. It offers clear descriptors for each response option, from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree, outlining specific behaviors and abilities associated with each rating level.

Printing a Blank Assessment #

Selecting the View Survey button allows you to view the survey, and print it out. The Print button can be found by opening View Survey, then scrolling to the very bottom of the survey.

Assigning the Survey #

After selecting a class, you will be taken to the Class Roster page.

At the top right side of the page, you’ll see your Action buttons.

The action icons are, in order from left to right: Snapshot Report, Progress Report, View Survey, Recommended Lessons, and Download Data.

When an assessment is self-assessment capable, the roster shows Assign Self-Assessment instead of letting you complete it. Assigning creates one assessment per student, which appears in each student’s own portal.

1. Choose Assign Self-Assessment.
2. Pick a presentation mode. One Question at a Time shows each question alone in large type — the right choice for early grades and emerging readers. All Questions puts the whole instrument on one page, which is faster for fluent readers.
3. Select students. Everyone is selected by default; uncheck anyone you are not assigning.
4. Choose Assign.

Students then sign in to QuaverEd and open their own portal, where assigned assessments are listed with a Continue button. Once submitted, an assessment shows as Completed and cannot be reopened by the student. Students do not see scores or reports — that is deliberate.

Once a survey has been assigned, the Class Roster will show a “Pending” icon next to each students name, until they complete the survey.

Once a survey is assigned, you will also have a dropdown menu available for each student, where you can see a Summary, a Snapshot, and Survey Progress. You can also choose to share this survey with an educator, or delete the assigned assessment.

Reassessing #

To measure growth, assess the same person again. Choosing Add Assessment for a student who already has a submitted assessment creates a new one rather than editing the old one — the earlier result is preserved and both appear as tiles on the roster.

Every submission within the current school year becomes a column in the Class Progress Report and a bar in the student’s progress chart. Nothing is capped: a student assessed five times this year shows five columns.

Reports #

Your reports live in two places: the Reports column on the class list, and the Student Reports icons on each roster row. Everything below is reachable from one of those two.

Class Snapshot #

Where the class stands right now, using each student’s most recent submitted assessment. This is the report to open before planning a unit.

What’s on it:

• Class Average – Overall, with its tier and the score-range legend for your district.
• Class Averages by Section — one row per competency with its average and performance level. On assessments that support recommendations, each row links to lesson recommendations.
• Students — one row per student, with overall and per-section scores as colored badges. Every column sorts.

How to read it:

1. Start with the section table, not the students. A section sitting in Tier 2 across the class is an instruction problem, and instruction is the cheapest lever you have. Fix it for everyone before you build individual plans.
2. Then sort the student table by that section. Sorting ascending puts the students furthest behind on that specific competency at the top. That list is your small group.
3. Look for students who are split. A student who is Tier 1 on three sections and Tier 3 on one has a targeted need. A student low across every section needs a different, broader conversation.
4. Check who’s missing. Only students with a submitted assessment appear. If the table is shorter than your roster, the class average is describing a subset.

[Caution] Small classes move fast! In a class of twelve, one student’s assessment can move a section average by more than a tenth. Read section averages as a signal about the group, and read individual rows for individual decisions.

Class Progress Report #

Growth across the school year. Opens from the class list’s Progress Report action.

• Class Average Score by Section — a bar chart comparing the two most recent scores, over the cohort of students with at least two submissions this year.
• Student Progress – Overall — every student, one column per assessment (1st, 2nd, 3rd…), each tile carrying the score and its date, with a change chip between consecutive assessments and an average at the end.
• One table per section, in the same shape, so you can trace growth on a single competency.

How to read it:

• The change chips are the report. A rising score in Tier 3 is better news than a flat score in Tier 2: the first says your intervention is working, the second says nothing is changing.
• Read the dates, not just the columns. “2nd Assessment” is a slot, not a date. Two students’ second assessments can be months apart, and a two-week gap explains a flat score better than a stalled intervention does.
• Expect movement of ±0.2 or so from noise. Sustained direction across three points is a trend; a single jump between two is not yet.
• A missing tile is a missing assessment, not a zero.

Student Reports #

Two per-student views, both from the roster’s Student Reports icons.

Progress	A bar chart of that student’s section scores, one series per assessment, so you can see which competencies moved and which didn’t. Prints cleanly for a conference or a team meeting.
Single-assessment report	Opens when you click a submitted tile. Shows the assessment date, who assessed, the overall score, and every statement with the exact answer given, section by section. This is the report to bring to a conversation about “why is this score what it is” — and it switches to Spanish where the assessment has it.
