January Math Benchmark Tests are Available

It's January, and as promised, the second math benchmark is ready for you to administer to your kids. To find it, you must log in to Assessment Center and choose the class in which you want to administer the test. Once you are there, click on the Assessments link. By default, the new page will have a search window available for you. Enter the words Skills Iowa and click the search button (note: hitting return or enter will not do the same thing). Your search should result in an assessment named: Skills Iowa Grade X Math Test 2.  If the assessment does not show up for you, you may have to check the settings in "Class Details". If you do not have the math level for that class set in the last set of settings on that page, the assessment will not be available. You can add it to the settings, and then save your settings and search again.

This assessment is a good mid year check up and can be compared to the beginning benchmark assessment if you administered it. You can also use this one to compare to the assessment that will be offered in May.

Let us know if you need help.
