Admin Settings: ELA and Math Tabs
- Felicia Mizgorski
Overview
For ELA and Math Tier criteria, the district chooses one source of integrated testing data (example: Renaissance Star Tests or Curriculum Associates iReady Tests) as their vehicle for determining Tier Levels.
Although many districts use multiple types of tests to monitor student progress throughout the year (Example: iReady and New York State Regents), only one type of test can be selected as the basis for Tiers at this time.
The default settings shown to the highest level admin user are dependent upon the which Assessment the district is using (Renaissance Star Tests, Curriculum Associates iReady tests or Hughton Mifflin Harcourt NWEA Map Tests) . There is also some customization available depending upon the Assessment used.
In addition, links to the Assessment Providers included below to get you started learning about Assessments and Assessment Makers. Our list of Assessment makers will continue to grow.
