title When do I have access to past performance data?

Once the STAAR data files have been loaded by the DTC, the CTCs will now have access to that data.  CTCs may view student test history by choosing the Students menu and then selecting a student’s name from the table.

title What student performance data is available?

When a student's name is selected, the test data will be displayed below the Tests section.  Test data by administration and grade will be displayed.  Column headings will be color coded to indicate the status by subject.  EOC and grade-level data will be displayed in separate data tables.

title How do I handle exclusions for students?

If an exclusion record needs to be entered for a student to complete their test history, the CTC can enter it manually on the student's performance table by selecting Exclusion and choosing New.  A window will pop up prompting the CTC to complete the information in each drop-down.  Exclusions can also be uploaded by file to mass assign exclusions all at once. (See link below)

title How do I access and use my past performance data when building a test session?

Once all test data is loaded and exclusions are entered, CTCs can begin to set up their test sessions.  Students may be added to the test using the same methods as before, but CTCs will also find the ability to add students by Retesters to pull in those students that are not pulled in through the other additional features.

After students are added to test sessions, CTCs will be able to identify whether students need to test based on the color coding within the Test View.
