Learning Objectives
Benefits of the Assessment Admin Module in CIITS
Districts, schools and teachers may create and administer assessments online using CIITS
District and Campus Leadership can:
− Build assessments using items from an item bank or by creating new items.
− Schedule assessments for administration at the district, campus, or classroom level.
− Monitor the collection of results.
− Generate and analyze reports related to student responses in the Classrooms and School & District Data modules.

Benchmark (Common)
Results in School & District Data and Classrooms
Tests created at the district, region or school level for the purpose of institution-wide data collection
Classroom

Tests created for the purpose of classroom use
Items can be teacher-created or selected from an item bank

Two Types of Tests
School & District Data (institution reporting)
Per-standard performance reporting– Class comparisons– Teacher comparisons– School comparisons
Item analysis
Proficiency reporting
Performance level distribution reporting
Avg. % correct: compare
Classrooms (class-based reporting)
Per-standard performance reporting• Compare class to school at any
level of the standards hierarchy
Item analysis
Year-to-date skill summary
Compare results by administration

Session 1: Step 1: Create test items Session 2: Steps 2-4: Schedule, Administer, and Score Session 3: Step 5: Review Results
Navigate in Assessment Adminwith the Sub Menu
Dashboard is the default Assessment Admin home page in Dashboard.
Use Create to add items, passages and tests
Use Track Completion Rates to monitor the result collection progress of In Progress and Complete tests
Locate all your tests in Find a Test –– past, present and drafts
Find an Item or Passage serves as the item repository 9
Discuss naming conventions for assessments: For example:
Discuss workflow: Will you create items and then build tests or do you want to build a test for which the items are already identified?
Discuss who will do what: item creation, test creation, scheduling/assigning tests, monitoring collection of results.

LOCATING, CREATING, & EDITING ITEMS
11
Locating Items in Item Central
‘Layer’ filters to locate desired items, such as by keyword, grade and subject
12
Item Detail
View item usage history
Edit if permissioned to do so
13
Creating Items: Key Facts
Types: multiple choice, gridded response, T/F, open response
One subject, one right answer only in order to support
reporting
Alerts: help you build an error-free item
14
Using Images in Test Questions
Import image file: copy and paste not supported
As a best practice, keep images small, both in file size and dimension.
If you want to gather images all at once, create a folder on a network or local drive. Develop a file naming convention so you can easily locate the right image for each question.
The Image icon opens your file chooser – navigate to the file, highlight it and click Open.
For best results, resize before uploading.
15
Passages
You can associate any question with a passage
Once you create a passage, you can select and
associate it with additional questions
The passage feature can be used with images that you want to use with multiple test questions
As a best practice, create reading passages as text, not images as text, as resizing can make them difficult to read
16
Rubric
You can associate any open Response question with a Rubric
Once you create a Rubric, you can select and
associate it with additional questions
The Standard associated with the Rubric will become the Primary Standard of the Open Response Item
Rubrics must be associated to a Subject, Grade Level, and Standard.
A Rubric must have multiple levels

can be used for formative purposes to inform instruction.”19
