EnlightenAI's Growth tool lets district and school admins measure how student writing improves across two or more assessments the same students took over time. It lines up the rubrics, then charts proficiency on every criterion so you can see — and prove — growth. This guide walks the whole wizard, from picking the assessments to reading the growth charts.

At a glance: Admin console (/ta) → Growth → select 2+ assessments → map rubric criteria → View Progress (proficiency growth per criterion) → filter and read the AI summary.

In the admin console, open Growth ("Analyze Student Writing Growth"). Check the box on two or more assessments the same students took over time — here, the fall District Common Assessment and the Spring Re-Assessment. Then click Next step.

EnlightenAI lines up the rubric traits across the assessments so it is comparing like with like — Claim to Claim, Evidence to Evidence, Reasoning to Reasoning. When everything matches you will see All rubric traits are aligned. Adjust any mismatches, then click Next step.

The View Progress dashboard charts how the class grew between the two assessments. Total proficiency rose from 50% to 90%, and you get a chart for every criterion — Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning — so you can see exactly where students improved. The green +% next to each title is the change from the first assessment to the last.

Use the Filters on the left to follow growth for one school, teacher, grade, or student group — useful for spotting which classes are accelerating. The Trends and Insights panel at the top turns the numbers into a plain-language summary of strengths, gaps, and next steps you can share with teachers.
