The Analytics page in CoGrader is your go-to dashboard for turning student writing data into instructional decisions. After grading an assignment, this view provides a comprehensive breakdown of class performance, strengths, needs, and next steps, all in one place.
Here is a video that walks you through, or you can check the written version below:
How to Access Analytics
Once you’ve graded student submissions and clicked Approve, you’ll see the Analytics tab appear next to Submissions at the top of your assignment.
What You’ll See on the Analytics Page
1. Class Performance Overview
At the top of the Analytics page, you’ll see a performance snapshot of your class:
Min / Max Score
Bottom 25% / Top 25%
Median
Average
This gives you a quick bird’s-eye view of how your class is performing overall.
2. Grade Distribution Graph
The distribution chart illustrates how student scores are distributed across score bands. This helps you quickly identify how many students are struggling, performing at an average level, or excelling.
3. Criteria Breakdown (Rubric Performance)
This radar graph visualizes how students performed on each rubric criterion. The further out the dot is, the stronger the performance on that criterion.
You can use this to identify specific writing skills that need attention (e.g., paragraph structure, conventions, or development of ideas).
4. Next Lesson Plan Suggestions
The Next Lesson section in CoGrader gives you instant, data-informed guidance on how to move your class forward after each assignment.
Based on your students’ overall writing performance, CoGrader recommends the next logical instructional step, making it easy to scaffold skills, target gaps, and build momentum.
You’ll find a full breakdown that includes:
Overall Assessment – A high-level summary of how your class performed and where they need the most support.
Strengths – What students did well, backed by actual data (e.g., "2/2 students used vivid sensory detail").
Areas for Growth – Clear insights into where students are struggling and how to address it next.
Enrichment – Stretch activities and writing challenges for your advanced learners.
Reteaching – Scaffolded support for students who need more structure and guided practice.
Next Steps – A ready-to-go mini-lesson idea aligned with the data, helping you continue instruction seamlessly.
