Student data visualized

Since 2018, Spotlight has delivered millions of personalized video reports in 15 languages. In spring and summer of 2021, Spotlight delivered unique, personalized video reports to the parents of thousands of students who had taken Initial ELPAC, the assessment given to students entering California’s English-language instruction system. Spotlight distributed the personalized video reports to a diverse array of parents and caregivers of students in three districts: Compton Unified, Natomas Unified, and Paramount Unified.

Video reports delivered in the student's home language

The authenticity and personalization of each video score report is developed carefully with State Education Agencies, districts, and assessment delivery partners. In this example, our California ELPAC video was developed in partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE) and Educational Testing Service (ETS).

The video reports literally spoke to parents in one of five languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, or Vietnamese. Of the thousands of parents who received the video reports, 444 completed surveys in their home language. The results were overwhelming — personalization is the key to engaging parents and caregivers.

Surveyed parents reported:

  • Significant preference for video reports
  • 90% better understood what the ELPAC test was after watching the video score report
