The following are datasets available to upload via Assessment Data Uploads. The Obtaining the Data columns below include instructions for downloading the correct file from the vendor for uploading into eduCLIMBER. The Supported Data Formats columns below include specifications for the file you should receive from the vendor. If the file you received from the vendor does not match the format, please reach out to that vendor. Files that are created custom and/or are modified (opening a file in a computer application can modify it) may cause upload issues.
Districts with new files or formats for the below assessments can assist us by writing into support with any updated information. Additionally, districts with steps to obtain files for the below assessments that are not included in this help document can assist us by writing into support with that information.
The file access directions will help you understand where you can obtain the latest files for the assessment. Please note the "Last Updated On Date". Vendors change methods of accessing files all the time, and we may not have the latest information. If the method shown does not appear to work, please reach out to the vendor to understand how to obtain the latest files. Then, please contact Illuminate support with your findings, so that you can help other districts obtain the same information.

- The top header row shows the years and number of columns in brackets
- The second header row indicates the DnA importer you should use if you have a file that meets the format shown in the column.
- The third header row indicates the eduCLIMBER uploader you should use if you have a file that meets the format shown in the column.
- Starting on the 4th row, we list all the file headers that are expected in the file.
- Previous years or formats are listed in new columns. Red cells are file headers that were removed the following year. Green cells represent column headers that were added in the file that year. Yellow cells are a combination of both: file headers that were added for that year but then immediately removed the following year.
- Sample files for each year are found on the tabs below.
