Cohort comparison

Put two classes or two teams side by side.

Open this screen4 steps

Before you start

Two or more groups must have results.

  1. 1

    Open Cohorts

    Do this

    Choose Cohorts in the sidebar.

    You’ll see

    A picker for the groups you want to compare.

  2. 2

    Choose two groups

    Do this

    Select the cohorts.

    You’ll see

    The same metrics charted for both, side by side.

  3. 3

    Compare fairly

    Do this

    Look at the averages rather than the totals.

    You’ll see

    A big class does not automatically look better than a small one.

  4. 4

    Find the gap

    Do this

    Scan for the metric where the two diverge most.

    You’ll see

    The thing worth changing in the group that is behind.

    Tip: Comparing grade 6 to grade 8 over the same term tells you about the program, not the students.

You’re done when

You know which group needs what, and you can justify it.
