Aeries Analytics Definitions (Indicators)
Analytics Definitions – Navigate to Aeries Analytics > Configs/Functions > Item Definitions
Allows creation of indicators, early warning values, thresholds, subgroups, label layouts (performance bands), and watch lists to help analyze the data.
1. What will you assess?
- Definition - Example: Test – SBAC ELA
2. How will you measure?
- Use Label Layouts to change or add new layouts (performance bands, rubrics)
- Can assign colors to the rubric levels
- Example: SBAC Performance Levels Label Layout
3. What do you want students to achieve?
- Threshold
- Define the rubric value ranges of the label layouts
- Identify the early warning values assigned to each performance band
- Example: SBAC ELA Most Recent Score Definition with Thresholds and Early Warning Values
4. What populations do you want to disaggregate?
- Use the Student Sub Groups tab
- Use Thresholds for the Analytic Definition
- Field Value example: English Language Status
- Program Participation example: Students on 504 Plans
Summary Tab and Aeries Analytics Indicator Qualifications
5. How will you see results?
- Summary Data tab– shows overall results for each definition (indicator) in percentages by school, based on label layout
- Student Indicator Details shows individual student results
- This page shows the total early warning points, each indicator (definition), the date of the update for the indicator, each qualifying value, and early warning points assigned to each indicator
- Can display for a single date
- Has options to Show LCAP and Only show Early Warning Indicators
- Updates every night

Unique Ways to View and Interpret the Data
Collaborate
- Decide on and create all definitions (indicators). Possibilities are:
- Tests and Subgroups for each
- All Parts of ELPAC
- SBAC ELA and Math
- CAASPP Interim Assessments
- College Tests - AP, SAT, PSAT
- Benchmarks, etc.
- Grades from Gradebook, Report Cards or Transcript for a subject area
- Graduation Requirements (i.e., credits completed) for a subject area
- CCI (College Career Indicator)
- Attendance Percentages and Thresholds
- Programs – 504, Gate, Migrant, etc
- Field Values and Field Value Ranges – EL Status, Gender, User Codes, etc
- Counts – Discipline Violation, Discipline Disposition and Intervention counts
- Tests and Subgroups for each
- Discuss how you want to see the data in terms of charts, lists, graphs
- Create Dashboards
- Run reports
- Create Supplemental Attendance records and/or Intervention records
- Review the data
- Modify curriculum
- Repeat the process
Collect the Data
- Enter all definitions in Aeries Analytics Item Definitions
- Update the indicators – can be set to update nightly
- Create Dashboard Items to view the results in different formats
- Analysis Definitions tell us what we are analyzing
- Dashboard Items tell us how we are looking at the definition.
- In this example, the Current Gradebook Grade definition is used to create a benchmark item that will show in the dashboard as a pie chart showing percentages of students scoring within each performance band, broken out by school for all levels and grades.
- We might look at one definition in more than one way – creating several dashboard items from one definition.
4. View the Dashboard – Select the appropriate dashboard from the list on the left side of the Analytics Dashboard page.
