Beginning an Assessment

To begin an assessment form, do the following:

  1. Select the Not Started tab and enter the student’s name in the search bar.
  2. Search for the form in the results grid, or select the form in the Select Form(s) dropdown.
  3. Click on the student’s GTID. This opens the assessment form.
  4. To begin administering the assessment, click the Begin Assessment button.
  5. Click the View Part A Script link in the left panel. This activates the script and Say/Do instructions in the right panel. Read the script and follow the instructions as written.
  6. Select the student’s response for Part A in the left panel.
  7. If the student’s response for Part A is correct, you will move on to Part B by clicking the View Part B Script link to activate Part B in the right panel. Response options for Part B will not be available until the View Part B Script link is clicked.
  8. If the student’s response for Part A is incorrect, scaffolding directions will appear in the left panel. Follow the directions and script as written and select the student’s scaffolded response to Part A. Then move on to Part B by clicking the View Part B Script link.
  9. Administer Parts B & C of the task by reading the script and following the instructions, including scaffolding as needed.
  10. When all parts of the task have a response entered, click the Go To Task X button to move on to the next task. Note: Tasks must be administered in the order they are written. You will not be able to begin the next task until responses have been entered for all parts of the previous task.
  11. To pause the assessment and save your progress, click Exit and Save to exit.

You may re-enter an In Progress assessment form at any time during the testing window. To re-enter a test form, do the following:

  1. Select the In Progress tab and enter the student’s name in the search bar.
  2. Search for the form in the results grid, or select the form in the Select Form(s) dropdown.
  3. Click on the student’s GTID. This opens the assessment form.
  4. Click Resume Assessment to resume testing. The assessment form will open where you last left off.

Completing the Assessment

When you have finished assessing all 11 tasks to the student, do the following:

  1. Enter the Observer’s name into the Observer (First Name/Last Name) field. If an observer was not present, enter the Test Examiner’s name.
  2. Click Complete Assessment to set the status as Ready to Submit.
  3. Click Submit to Scoring to submit the assessment form for scoring. The form will close and no longer be accessible.

Note: Assessment forms with a Ready to Submit status will be scored at the end of the testing window. Users do not need to take additional action to submit forms for scoring, however it is best practice to submit the assessment forms when testing is complete. Assessment forms in a Ready to Submit status can still be accessed and edited.
