1. What are the insights?

FMS Insights

• The FMS insights show you your class's average score for each FMS Assessment Challenge you assessed, and how this compares to children of the same average age across Australia
• Remember: a lower run score is better than a higher score, as the faster you run, the lower the time!

CAMSA Insights

• The CAMSA insights show your class's average score for each of the CAMSA components, and how this compares to children of the same average age across Australia
• In addition, there is a graph that depicts the percentage of your class that falls into each of the achievement categories (beginning, progressing, achieving, and excelling), and how this compares to the national averages
• The final graph shows the number of students in each of the time categories as compared to the national averages

2. Where can I find the insights for my class?

• Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes) 
• Click on the subheading ‘Insights' (it’s after 'Students')

3. What do the class insights tell me?

The class insights calculate the average score of the students in the class at the time they were assessed and compare that to the national average for students in the same 6-month age bracket.

4. Can I see the insights for the entire year group - not just this class?

Yes! You must be a KIDDO Manager to access the insights for each year group in your school or organisation. 

• When in the 'Dashboard', access these in the left-hand side menu by clicking on 'Insights'. It's between 'Professional development' and 'Resources'
• From there, you can choose to view insights for:
  • Individual classes or year groups as a whole
  • Different calendar years
  • FMS and CAMSA assessments

5. What do the year group insights tell me?

The year group insights are calculated slightly differently from the class insights. The national average is calculated based on all the students in that year group (e.g., Year 1) across Australia/world and compared to the average score for that year group (e.g., Year 1) in the school/organisation.

6. What can I do with the information from the insights?

Use it to inform your planning and programming! The insights will give you an indication of areas of strength or weakness for your students. You can then program to maintain their strengths but improve their weaknesses. The insights will also give you an indication as to whether your programs are working, as you will be able to compare the year group results from one year to the next.

7. How are the FMS percentiles calculated?

• Scores of students are arranged in a rank order
• Lowest score is in the 1st percentile
• Highest score is in the 99th percentile.
• E.g., if a child scored in the 66th percentile, that means they scored as well as or better than 66% of the group.

8. Identifying students who need additional support

• Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes)
• Find 'Additional support'
  • If you have conducted the FMS Assessment, it's below the weekly lesson on the right-hand side
  • If you have conducted the CAMSA Assessment, it's below 'Today's Morning Fitness' on the left-hand side
• Here, you will see a list of students who may require additional support with their FMS development. If you click on the ‘More’ button, you will be able to see the students you have assessed, and they will be classified as either:

9. How are the traffic lights calculated?

FMS Assessment

• Red dot: average less than 20th percentile across all skills measured (needs additional assistance)
• Yellow dot:  average 20th percentile to 35th percentile (may need additional help)
• Green dot: average over 35th percentile (progressing well)

CAMSA Assessment

10. One of my students achieved the maximum score (80 seconds) for balance, but their percentile score is quite low. Why is this? 

• In the older years, a reasonable number of students achieve the maximum score of 80 seconds (40 seconds on each leg) for the balance challenge. This means that children can't score in the high percentile ranks even if they get the maximum score of 80 seconds. The percentile rank they are given will indicate how many children of that age group achieved the maximum score. E.g., if a child aged 7 years scores 80 seconds and is in the 75th percentile, it means that 25% of children of that age also achieve the maximum score. 
• This is one of the reasons this KIDDO FMS assessment is only valid up until Year 3 at the oldest as the balance measure and the bounce and catch (there are only so many bounces and catches you can do in 20 seconds) do have an upper limit and therefore beyond this age, it is not possible to gain an understanding of the full range of capability of the children.
• Once a child has reached the maximum score in the balance assessment, whether this is in foundation year or year 2, it is not necessary to re-assess them on this measure as you will not gain any new information
