Release 23.7.11 - July 28, 2023

Feature Enhancements

New Student Dashboard

Empower your students to monitor their own learning! The new SuccessMaker student dashboard makes it easier than ever for students to track their own progress.

In the Full SuccessMaker courses, students can easily see both their usage and recent session performance.

The first dot allows students to see how they are progressing toward their weekly usage goal. This is automatically set to 60 minutes for each student, and is a research-based usage target to achieve target growth goals. The 60 minutes cannot be altered.
On the second dot, students can see their recent session performance.

For custom courses, students will only see their most recent session performance.

The Math Full Course session length is raised to 20 minutes in line with our recommendation of one learning hour per week. It will ensure students make one full school year gain as a general learning target with a total of 31 learning hours.

Reading Courseware

New Characters

Students will see new characters in SuccessMaker Reading. All characters were tested with students in Grades K-8.

New Age-Appropriate Visual Backgrounds

Students will see an updated interface with colorful, age-appropriate visual backgrounds. K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 each have 3 backgrounds that change randomly. Backgrounds match the rostered grade level of the student.

Updated Initial Placement

SuccessMaker Reading’s Initial Placement has been updated to provide a consistent experience across grades K-8 and offer educators deeper insights into students’ unique literacy profiles.

All students will now begin Initial Placement with Word Reading, where they hear audio of a grade-level word and select the correct word. Word Reading scores then route each student into the appropriate level of listening (Levels K-2.5) or reading comprehension (Levels 2.5+) passages. This two-part Initial Placement experience gives educators insight into students’ strengths and instructional needs in both decoding and comprehension, and offers a more precise and efficient placement experience.

New Phonics and Vocabulary Content

New phonics and vocabulary content helps students to build skills in both word reading and word meaning.

Additional Multilingual Learner Support

In addition to Spanish, students will now be able to access translations in more than 60 other languages. 27 languages have audio support!

SuccessMaker Math will now include key skills and concepts taught early in Algebra 1, Geometry, or Integrated Mathematics I. The new high school content was selected based on its coherence and connection to middle grades math standards, and its importance for future success in high school math.

This new content provides acceleration for middle grades students who are ready for a challenge. It also makes SuccessMaker Math an ideal asynchronous intervention resource for high school students who haven’t yet mastered the prerequisite skills they need to be successful in high school classes like Algebra 1, Geometry, or Mathematics I.

New Year Rollover changes to EasyBridge Basic for Student Grade Level Increment

EasyBridge now includes the option to increment the current grade levels of all students (e.g. Jane Smith moves from grade 3 in the school year 2022-23 to grade 4 in 2023-24. Based on your administrative permissions, you can do this either at the district-level or by selecting the individual school(s). If a student's grade level was previously incremented in the current year (2023-24) in preparing the rostering for the current year, they will not be included when you run a new increment process.

Improved User Experience for Student and Teacher Access to SuccessMaker from Realize

We have reduced the number of selects necessary for teachers and students to access SuccessMaker from within Realize.

The student can relaunch the course from the student dashboard.

Initial placement

Students can inadvertently complete IPM without logging activity if they repeatedly select on the "Next" (alias "Turn in your work"), which results in incorrect placement.

Ungrouped or Unassigned Students

Students with assignments but not part of a group (class) are considered to be unassigned and they are not displayed in SuccessMaker reports or in the Mastery view.

Student Performance
Areas for Growth

Areas for Growth - Admin CSV Export

For the custom CSV export, student count and skills at risk are aggregated at the assignment level but not at the course level, which provides a more granular level of information. The default report continues to aggregate at the course name level.
The default export will match the report data on the UI but the custom report will not match the UI display for those two fields.

Cumulative Performance and Cumulative Performance Aggregate Multi-Org Reporting

Performance - With the introduction of Multi-Org reporting, the volume of records being retrieved is exponentially larger and slow performance may be noted when running reports with large data sets. However, most performance limitations could be mitigated by running the reports on a high-speed network.
Report Parameter Page
- When the Admin user selects the parameters for the report, if the number of records being retrieved for any dropdown (Organization, Teacher, Course, Group) exceeds 15k, the user will experience delay in populating the drop-down.
- For the courses field in other reports, when the user selects a course and if another course with the same name exists then it may get automatically selected. However, this will not affect the data generated for the report.
Report Viewer Page
- It takes additional time to display data when large data sets are submitted on the report parameter page.
- For the Cumulative Performance Report, when the admin runs a multi-organizational report with a student associated with multiple organizations, the student’s data is only being reported for one of the schools. However, if the report is generated individually for each associated school then the student’s data appears on each report.

CSV Export

The Cumulative Performance Aggregate report may show some delay when exporting large data sets, but it is expected to successfully execute in less than 20 minutes. The Cumulative Performance report could time-out when the CSV export contains over 500 organizations with a volume in excess of 160K rows. It is recommended to run the reports by selecting fewer organizations.

In the Cumulative Performance report, the standard deviation values differ at the decimal level between Report output UI and Exported CSV.
"Student ID" is displayed as blank instead of “NA” when it is not available.
Start Date and End Date range level columns are missing in the exported csv.

PDF Export
- When a report generates a single file, the file name contains “part 1” even though there is no “part 2”.
- When exporting a Multi-Org PDF report, the PDF displays '1 school selected' in each school page whereas in the output UI, it displays as '1 of 2 schools selected'.
- Cumulative Performance - Acceptable Performance Achieved icon is not displayed on the downloaded PDF.

Inconsistencies in Sorting Names for Administrators

Resolved Issues

SuccessMaker Login Issue

SuccessMaker retains the teacher's school selection via session storage and indicates which school the teacher logs and avoids further confusion. As this solution uses session storage, following are the caveats that teachers should be aware of.

When using a new browser or clearing the browser cache and logging again, the teacher will be expected to choose the proper school again but the choice will be retained until cache is cleared again.

When using the Incognito window, it is expected to choose the proper school as incognito browsers do not cache settings.

For better experience, incognito mode is not suggested for SuccessMaker.
