6. Identify the students whose dots are below the colored areas in

their column. The students below these colored areas performedBelow Expectations on the last test

7. You have now identified Extra Care Kids who performed last year atless than the NRT tests indicate they are expected to do. These arestudents who have the greatest potential to move up if given focusedattention to their needs

8. Repeat the above process with “Scatterplot Graphs: NRT Math vs. SSSMath”

Note: Please refer to the NRT vs. SSS Scatterplot Interpretation Guidesavailable online, in the Help files within SP SnapShot™, for additional
