How district-level users view report of students’ current test status

TIDE includes a Plan and Manage Testing report that details all of a student’s test opportunities and the status of those test opportunities.

Because the report lists testing opportunities, a student can appear more than once on the report.

1. From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the TIDE dashboard, select Plan and Manage Testing. The Plan and Manage Testing page appears (refer to Figure 46).

2. In the Search Students panel, select the parameters for whose information to include in your report:

   1. From the Enrolled Region dropdown list, select a region if applicable.

   2. From the Enrolled District dropdown list, select a district if applicable.

   3. From the Enrolled Campus dropdown list, select a campus if applicable. You may select one or more campuses from this list. You may also select all campuses. If you select more than 20 campuses or if you select all campuses and the district contains more than 20 campuses, the report will only be available to export to the Inbox.

   4. Optional: If a single campus was selected, choose a teacher from the Proctor dropdown list. The Proctor dropdown list includes all campus-level users, such as teachers, test administrators, and principals associated with the selected campus. When you select a person from the Proctor dropdown list, TIDE performs a check to see if the person is associated with any roster. If no rosters exist for the selected person, no data is displayed when you generate the report. If the selected person has an associated roster, the Plan and Manage Testing report shows the test attempts of the students included in the roster.

      If you do not select any person from the Proctor dropdown list and use the default value of All to generate the report, you will see all the tests taken in that campus, irrespective of roster associations.

      It is important to note that the proctor’s name displayed on the Plan and Manage Testing report does not imply the name of the teacher. The proctor is the person who creates the test session. This can be the same as the teacher or it can mean a different person.

   5. Optional: In the TSDS ID field, enter a TSDS ID.

   6. Optional: In the Student’s Last Name field, enter a student’s last name.

   7. Optional: In the Student’s First Namefield, enter a student’s first name.

   8. Optional: From the Grade dropdown list, select a grade. You may select one, multiple, or all grades from this list.

   9. Optional: In the Gender field, select Male or Female.

   10. Optional: In the PEIMS ID field, enter a PEIMS ID.

3. In the Choose What panel, select the parameters for which tests to include in your report:

   1. Select a Test Type. NOTE: TFAR Teacher Authored Test selection is only for tests created by teachers in the Authoring system. For all other tests, including STAAR, STAAR Alternate 2, TELPAS, TELPAS Alternate, and others, use Texas Provided Tests.

   2. From the Test dropdown list, select a test category.

4. In the Get Specific panel, select the radio button for one of the options and then set the parameters for that option. The following options are available (parameters for each option are listed in {brackets}):

   1. Students who {have/have not} {completed/started} the {1st/2nd/any} opportunity in the selected administration.

      1. Searching for students who have not started the 1st/any opportunity will return results for students who have not started their first opportunity on the selected test.

   2. Students on their {1st/2nd/any} opportunity in the selected administration and have a status of {any/completed/started/paused}.

   3. Search student(s) by {TSDS ID/Name}: {TSDS ID/Student Name}.

   4. Students whose current opportunity will expire {in/between} {number/range} days.

      1. If you select “in,” you may enter any number in the displayed text box to determine tests expiring in the specified number of days. You may also enter “0” to see opportunities that expire that day.

      2. If you select “between,” you may enter two numbers in the displayed text boxes to signify a range of days (such as 1–3).
