There are several settings within the Assessment Group Manager that can be applied to individual assessments. This lesson will explain how to access the Assessment Group settings, with a description of each setting available.
Required Permission: Configure Assessment Manager
Where to Start
- Navigate to System Configuration.
- Open the Assessments tab.
- Select an Assessment Group.
- (Optional) Select the toggle to allow Secondary Enrollment.
- To learn more about Secondary Enrollment and how to set it up, visit Secondary Enrollment.
- (Optional) Select the Score Type to Display. Selecting a Score Type only affects new data moving forward.
- Last Imported: The last score imported via file.
- Most Recent: The most recently entered score.
- Highest Score: The highest score the student received. If selected, an Optional Score Detail may be chosen. If an Optional Score Detail is selected, the value of that score detail is used to determine which score to display.
- Lowest Score: The lowest score the student received. If selected, an Optional Score Detail may be chosen. If an Optional Score Detail is selected, the value of that score detail is used to determine which score to display.
- Select Assessments to adjust additional settings.
- Use the toggles to turn on Score Display. Take a look at Adding Score Displays to learn more.
- Use the toggles to turn on Top Level. When enabled, the assessment chart appears at the top level of searches.
- For example, if a child (subskill) assessment has Top Level turned on, the data chart will appear in the main search of data, and users will not have to drill down from the parent assessment to view the scores.
- Use the toggles to turn on KPI. When turned on, Visualizations are automatically added to the current year's District Dashboard. Take a look at Assessment KPIs to learn more.
- Double-select the blank area to add an Alias of the assessment. Aliases are used to tell eduCLIMBER other assessment names that test may be imported by.
- For example, ACT English Language Arts may have an alias of ACT ELA. When ACT ELA is included in a data file, it will import as ACT English Language Arts, and appear in eduCLIMBER as such. ACT English Language Arts and ACT ELA data will appear in the same graphs, since they are considered to be the same assessment.
- Schools assignment only applies to assessment types that use or include Progress Monitoring.
- Double-select a number in the Order column to update it. Changing the order of an assessment here updates the order in all other areas of eduCLIMBER, including within charts, data walls, and student profiles.
