Role-Based Access for District, School, and Teacher Users Role-based access for districts, schools, and teachers keeps student information secure.  District users will have access to all students in their district.  School users will have access to all students in their school(s).  Teachers will have access to only their students (via rostered groups). Teachers should be assigned the Teacher Report Access user role in PearsonAccess.  Teachers will only have access to the Student Data and Test Results tabs in PearsonAccess. ** Access to student data will be restricted to the lowest level reporting role assigned. (i.e., if a District user also selects a Teacher level role, their access is now restricted to the Teacher Report access.)

Why Do I Need to Roster Students? Purpose: Provide teachers with access to On-Demand Reports and Longitudinal Reports for their students. Prior to teachers accessing results for their students: Rosters need to be created Rosters need to be linked to appropriate teachers Notes about rostered groups: Rosters do not need to be created prior to testing Students can be assigned to multiple rostered groups Multiple teachers can be assigned to a single rostered group Teachers can be assigned to multiple rostered groups Rosters will cross over to each test administration

Creating Teacher Report Access User Accounts and Linking to Rostered Groups Two ways to create a rostered group  Create a rostered group manually via Student Enrollment in the Student Data tab, OR  Create a rostered group through a file upload via Student Roster File Submission in the Student Data tab Two ways to create teacher accounts in PearsonAccess via the Administrative Management tab  Create Teacher Report Access users manually, OR  Create Teacher Report Access users through a file upload Teacher Report Access User accounts can be created and linked to rostered groups at the same time.

On-Demand Reporting What are On-Demand Reports? When are On-Demand Reports Available? Accessing On-Demand Reports Examples of Reports

What are On-Demand Reports? On-Demand Reports allow access to preliminary online rosters and Student Detail Reports.

When Are On-Demand Reports Available? Once On-Demand Reports are turned on for the current testing window, student results are available within one hour of a student submitting a test. For each administration On-Demand results will remain in PearsonAccess until the published reports are posted.

Grouping of On Demand Reports Tested Group: These groups are systematically created with grade and subject. Rostered Classes: These groups are created by your organization. The purpose for these is to allow teachers to view their student results. Users with the Teacher Report Access role are only able to view results under this tab.

Users have the flexibility to sort and search. User can reverse sort the data by clicking on a column header. Search for specific data by selecting the arrow to the left of the column header and enter the desired search criteria. Next select ‘GO’.

In the List Report by Group a user can sort or filter the columns with the drop down option. The strand column definitions can be located by hovering over each strand. (Strands are not viewable in the Rostered Classes tab). By selecting a specific Tested Group users can view a List Report by Group. This page provides a list of student details and how they performed on the test.

The ‘Reports’ tab gives the user the option to generate a PDF of the Group List or Student Detail Reports. The Group List Report will generate a list with all students in the tested group with test results (see data on previous slide). The Student Detail Reports generates a batch of a one page individual student report with test results for the tested group. This reports is helpful for sharing results with parents (see example on next slide).

An example of the Student Detail Report is shown below. A user can also generate this report by selecting a specific student in the group list.

Selecting the ‘Export to Excel’ tab gives users the option to print an Excel file with a list of students and their data.
