Abstract:
1. A system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more storage devices, the storage devices including executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations including: accessing multiple content items, wherein each of the content items contain content designed for instructors to improve an instructor's effectiveness in teaching skills related to an educational context that corresponds to a student learning phenomenon; analyzing, by the one or more processors, the content included in the content items to determine the corresponding educational contexts for the accessed content items; creating an association between the determined educational contexts and the corresponding content items; storing the association between the determined educational contexts and the corresponding content items; providing a first display of first information reflecting performance of a first student, the first information being determined based on first educational assessment data for the first student, the first educational assessment data regarding student performance for at least two tested skills; determining, by the one or more processors, that the first educational assessment data for the first student is in a first one of multiple educational assessment data formats used by different school systems; determining, by the one or more processors and based on the determination that the first educational assessment data is in the first educational assessment data format, a first set of context signatures specific to the first educational assessment data format from multiple sets of context signatures corresponding to the multiple educational assessment data formats, wherein the context signatures in the first set of context signatures indicate associations between the educational contexts, that correspond to multiple student learning phenomenon, and particular patterns of performance levels of students between the at least two tested skill for the first educational assessment data format; analyzing, by the one or more processors, the first educational assessment data for the student based on the first set of context signatures to detect at least one of the context signatures; based on the analysis of the first educational assessment data, detecting, by the one or more processors, at least one of the context signatures of the first set of context signatures by determining that the student performance for the at least two tested skills for the first student corresponds to a particular pattern of performance levels for the at least two tested skills for the first educational assessment data format that is associated with a particular educational context corresponding to a particular student learning phenomenon, where the particular pattern of performance levels is (i) a deficiency or fluency in a first tested skill of the at least two tested skills and (ii) a deficiency or fluency in a second tested skill of the at least two tested skills; determining, by the one or more processors, a first educational context corresponding to the detected context signature; identifying, by the one or more processors and using the determined first educational context corresponding to the detected context signature and the association between the determined first educational context and the corresponding content items, a first set of one or more content items, from among the multiple content items, that are related to the determined first educational context corresponding to the detected context signature; providing the identified first set of content items for display with the information reflecting performance of the first student; providing a second display of second information reflecting performance of a second student, the second information being determined based on second educational assessment data for the second student, the second education assessment data regarding student performance for at least two tested skills corresponding to the same at least two tested skills that the first educational assessment data regards; determining, by the one or more processors, that the second educational assessment data for the second student is in a second one of the multiple educational assessment data formats used by the different school systems, the second educational assessment data format different from the first educational assessment data format; determining, by the one or more processors and based on the determination that the second educational assessment data is in the second educational assessment data format, a second set of context signatures specific to the second educational assessment data format from the multiple sets of context signatures corresponding to the multiple educational assessment data formats, wherein the context signatures in the second set of context signatures indicate associations between the educational contexts, that correspond to multiple student learning phenomenon, and particular patterns of performance levels of students between the at least two tested skill for the second educational assessment data format; analyzing, by the one or more processors, the second educational assessment data for the second student based on the second set of context signatures to detect at least one of the context signatures of the second set of context signatures; based on the analysis of the second educational assessment data, detecting, by the one or more processors, at least one of the context signatures of the second set of context signatures by determining that the student performance for the at least two tested skills for the second student corresponds to the particular pattern of performance levels for the at least two tested skills for the second educational assessment data format that is associated with the particular educational context corresponding to the particular student learning phenomenon, where the detected at least one of the context signatures of the second set of context signatures for the second educational assessment data format corresponds to the same particular student learning phenomenon that the detected at least one of the context signatures of the first set of context signatures for the first educational assessment data format corresponds; determining, by the one or more processors, a second educational context corresponding to the detected context signature of the second set of context signatures, the second educational context corresponding to the same educational context as the first educational context; identifying, by the one or more processors, a second set of one or more content items related to the second educational context corresponding to the detected context signature of the second set of context signatures, the identified second set corresponding to the same content items of the first set of first content items; and providing the second set of identified content items for display with the second information reflecting performance of the second student.
