Need some review?

If you have been through a Skills Iowa training, and now need a bit of review, there are a few places you can go.

The Quick Reference Guides that we distribute at our training sessions are great, brief guides to using both Assessment Center and Skills Tutor. If you have misplaced yours, these documents are available for download on our website. Just go to http://www.skillsiowa.org and click on the Documents button on the left side.

If you are the sort of person who wants much more than a brief guide, both programs offer extensive manuals for download. Again, we have linked to these manuals on our web page. Just click the Links button on our website. There, you will find links to user guides for Assessment Center and Skills Tutor. Or, you can click here for the Assessment Center User Guide and click here for the Skills Tutor User Guide.

And of course, one of the most effective resources is the other teachers in your building. Hopefully, you chose another teacher in your building as your Skills Iowa Buddy. Working as a team, you and your buddy can remember much more about the program together than you can alone.

If your problem isn't remembering how to use the programs, but rather something technical with your computer lab or network, it's probably time to talk to your building's tech person. Or, you may need to call the support number for Assessment Center or Skills Tutor.

You can reach the Assessment Center at: 1-888-778-7737 and you can email them at: k12support@review.com

You can reach Skills Tutor at: 1-888-764-2446 or email them at skillstutor_support@hmco.com

Of course, your project leader is always ready to help. Feel free to email or phone your school's project leader for help. You can find your project leader's contact information by clicking here.

We hope you use and enjoy the programs that are used in Skills Iowa.
