Corporation Test Coordinators (CTCs) and School Test Coordinators (STCs) have access to Corporation and School reports.
Corporation Users have access to Corporation-wide OnDemand and Published Reports.
School Users have access to School-wide OnDemand and Published Reports for their specific schools.
Teachers have limited access to OnDemand Reports for only their assigned reporting groups.

8. Reporting Groups
Let’s look at Reporting Groups.

9. Creating Reporting Groups
Reporting groups allow for:
Aggregation of student results by various characteristics (e.g. grade level, type of test)
Assignment of desired users’ (e.g. teachers) access to student results
When creating reporting groups and linking to appropriate teachers:
Students can be assigned to multiple reporting groups.
Students can be in only one reporting group per content area.
Multiple teachers can be assigned to a single reporting group.
Teachers can be assigned to multiple reporting groups.
NOTE: A student may be in more than one reporting group, but the student can be in only one reporting group for a content area.
When you add a student to a group, you are really adding the student test to that group. You can select the student entirely and all his or her subjects follow, or you can select his or her individual tests - for example ELA, Math, etc. 
Imagine you are a Grade 8 student who has different teachers for Math and ELA.  You can be in a group for Teacher A for Math and in a group for Teacher B for ELA.  You may not, however, be added to another group for your Math or ELA test, if you are already assigned to a group for that subject.  
It’s also important to note the sessions indicated on the TL do not flow through to reporting groups. The reporting groups are setup independently.

10. Exporting Reporting Groups via Import / Export
To export the file, from Setup select Import / Export Data. In Select Tasks select Import / Export Data. Click Start.
From Type, select Student Test Reporting Group Export. Check the boxes next to Include Attempts and Include Test Assignments. Click Process.
When the file is Complete, click Download File.
Open the file in a spreadsheet program such as Excel, and check to make sure the information is correct.
Two methods may be used for managing reporting groups, importing a file and manually creating reporting groups directly in PearsonAccessnext.
First we will examine entering data with the Import / Export method. This process is commonly used for additions or changes that involve multiple reporting groups. This process involves exporting a file, reviewing and editing the file, and importing the edited file.

11. Exporting Reporting Groups via Import / Export
Here we see the Import / Export Data screens. After you select this and click Start, [CLICK] you select the appropriate boxes and click Process. [CLICK] Then you can Download the file, after it is marked complete.
NOTE: The Refresh button next to the word Details across the top to refresh your screen.

12. Modifying Reporting Groups via Import / Export
Open the file in a spreadsheet program (e.g. Excel).
Make certain the information is correct.
Modify the information as desired.
Using your preferred spreadsheet program, open the CSV file and verify the information. NOTE: The Test Code in Column K will contain two records per subject, Part 1 and Part 2, for each student tested. EB104 indicates the test is ELA, Part 1, Grade 4, and EB204 is ELA, Part 2, Grade 4. Unassigned students can be added to a reporting group by including the reporting group name in Column C. Students can also be moved to new reporting groups via an import of this file when a new reporting group is entered for a student in Column C. The Reporting Organization Code is a required field. Be sure to include this information before saving the file as a CSV.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: Demographic data cannot be corrected in this upload – for example student’s name, date of birth, gender, or test assignments. Adding a reporting group or an organization code are the only changes that can be made in this file.

13. Importing Reporting Groups via Import / Export
To import, from Setup, select Import / Export Data. In Select Tasks, select Import / Export Data. Click Start.
From Type, select Student Test Reporting Group Import. Select the Browse button to locate the source file and click Process.
Once the file has processed, if there are errors in the upload, review the errors and make corrections.
To import the file:
From Setup, select Import / Export Data. In Select Tasks, select Import / Export Data. Click Start.
From Type, select Student Test Reporting Group Import. Select the Browse button to locate the source file and click Process.
Once the file has processed, if there are errors in the upload, review the errors and make corrections.

14. Importing Reporting Groups via Import / Export
A common error in importing the file is a missing Organization Code. It is a required field. To correct this error, click on Download Records in Error. Open the file and add the Organization Code to Column B. Save as a CSV and import the corrected file. As seen here, Records 2, 3, and 4 were missing the Reporting Organization Code.

15. Verifying Reporting Groups
Once the file has successfully uploaded, verify the information that was uploaded in the file is displaying correctly. Under Reports, select Reporting Groups. Find reporting groups by searching or clicking the arrow next to the Search button, and select Show all results. Select the group to verify. Select Start, then select All Tasks to verify the uploaded information is correct. Click Start.
[CLICK] If you need to make additional changes, you can modify the reporting groups in the tabs as shown on the screen or by completing a subsequent upload.
NOTE: If multiple versions of a file are imported, the data in the system will be updated to reflect any changes to existing records. Any changes made to the uploaded file will overwrite the existing data in PearsonAccessnext, so use caution when importing data.

16. Assigning Users to Reporting Groups via Import / Export
To add or change multiple users to Reporting Groups, from Setup, select Import / Export Data. In Select Tasks select Import / Export Data. Click Start
Select User Reporting Group Export, then download the file. Correct or add user information on the downloaded file using the other entries as a template, and save as a CSV file
Import the file with the new User Reporting Group information. From Setup, select Import / Export Data. In Select Tasks, select Import / Export Data. Click Start
From Type, select User Reporting Group Import. Select the Browse button to locate the source file and click Process
Once the file has processed, if there are errors in the upload, review the errors and make corrections
As with assigning students to reporting groups, there are also two methods to add or change multiple users to reporting groups. [READ SLIDE]

17. Assigning Users to Reporting Groups via Import / Export
Once you select the Type, browse for the file, then click Process. You will see a report showing you any errors in the file. Here is a sample of the User Reporting Group Export.
After importing the file back into PearsonAccessnext, look for errors. A common error code is “The user ‘XXXXX’ does not have access to the organization”. If a user does not have access to the organization, the user will need to be added. Importing users is an efficient way to add or change multiple users. Users must be assigned specific user roles to access their data. Please refer to the User Role Matrix located on the Indiana ISTEP+ and IREAD-3 Resource Center on the PearsonAccessnext page under User Information to help determine which roles a user should be assigned.

27. OnDemand Reports
First let’s talk about OnDemand Reports.

28. What are OnDemand Reports?
OnDemand Reports are online reports that detail the outcomes of student assessments in real time. Depending on the selected filters, report details vary.
OnDemand Reports include the ISTEP+ Proficiency and Undetermined Status Roster.
Lists alphabetically all students in the reporting group and details how each student performed.
Scale scores and performance levels
Overall Undetermined Status reason
Can be printed or downloaded in a PDF, XLS, or CSV format
The OnDemand Reports are available now (Phase 3) provides an overview of student proficiency and status. It lists alphabetically all students in the reporting group and tells the user how each student performed in the selected content area - English / Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and / or Social Studies.
The proficiency levels are Pass+, Pass, and Did Not Pass.
A student can be identified as undetermined if:
A test was not received
A test was not taken
A test was invalidated
If Pearson receives either a paper answer document or an electronic test and a section of either test is blank, we assign "Test Not Taken" for that section, then roll up to "Test Not Taken" for the Overall Undetermined Status for the subject.  His or her Performance Level would be indicated as "Undetermined“, and he or she does not receive a scale score.
If Pearson does not receive a completed paper answer document or an electronic test is not submitted for either Part 1 or Part 2 of the ISTEP+, we assign  "Test Not Received" as the Overall Undetermined Status and her or his Performance Level would be indicated as "Undetermined".  And she or he will not receive a scale score.
OnDemand Reports are available to Corporation Users, School Users, and Teachers. Teachers must have reporting groups enabled in order to access these reports.

29. ISTEP+ OnDemand Report
To access the OnDemand Report, click Reports, then OnDemand. [CLICK] [CLICK] By clicking on the blue ‘i” [CLICK] you can view more details about each individual student’s performance.

You can filter for the organization, tested grade, and Reporting Group depending on your user level. Each test name is listed and you can view performance level information at the State, Corporation, and School levels.
This report allows Corporation Users and School Users to view results for students by level of proficiency.

47. Proficiency Grouping Report
The Proficiency Grouping report is based on the Reporting Groups of students with which the user is associated. Users can see more detail in this report by selecting a Reporting Group within their organization. This report groups students according to performance levels of two content areas assessed by ISTEP+.
The columns report performance levels by content area, while the rows indicate the specific student. The students are alphabetical within each grouping.
The Summary and Detail versions of this report each can also be downloaded as a PDFs. And each can be sorted by:
Organization Name, which displays quantity of students only in the selected school(s) or corporation
The Tested Grade, which shows results by test
Reporting Group, which allows you to narrow down to just one reporting group to show individual proficiencies
Proficiency Grouping Level of Performance, which is available only in the teacher user version
This report can be accessed by teachers. NOTE: Corporation Users, School Users, and Teachers will have slightly different views for all of the reports in this section.

48. Academic Standards Summary
The Academic Standards Summary provides criterion-referenced information from the ISTEP+ achievement tests, summarizing the performance of students in the corporation by grade and subject. The summary level data will be presented to State level users, Corporation Test Coordinators, and School Test Coordinators. Again there are two versions - a summary version for corporation and school users and a detailed version for teacher users with enabled groups. This report can be found under Reports.
[CLICK]
It lists the number of students and percentage of students in the organization who maintained mastery of each Academic Standard – for example, achieved a score at or above the standard. It identifies the Academic Standard by strand for the content area.
Again you can filter by Corporation and / or School, by Test, or by Reporting Group.
You can see the Grade and Subject, and the number of students and the percentage of students in the organization who maintained mastery of each Academic Standard.
In the Teacher view, all students assigned to a Teacher User will be shown here with their levels of mastery on various standards indicated. You can see the reporting group, test name, standards, students, and total number of students. It lists students alphabetically by name, lists the Academic Standards for that grade and subject.
This report is available to Corporation Users and School Users.

55. Learning Locator on ISR
A personalized Learning Locator code is printed on the ISTEP+ Individual Student Report (ISR), along with directions to access the site.
One code is listed for each subject (ELA, Math, Science) and codes are generated for the performance strand level and are not student specific. Code can be assigned to more than one student if the students have the same performance profile.
The code encapsulates student performance at the reporting category level.
The code can be developed for almost any assessment instrument and provides a “shortcut” to Perspective resources that match each student’s strengths and areas of need.
[IN LIVE TRAINING ONLY: Let’s go to the live site and take a look at how this is presented.]

56. Assignment Sheet Function
Educators can select resources for specific standards to create and share assignment sheets with students.
Students use a shared assignment sheet code similar to a Learning Locator to access the learning resources.
Educators can create assignment sheets for their students.
Action: Point users to Pearson Perspective documentation.
