Teacher Setup and Live Monitoring for SAT/ACT Test Day
Teacher Setup/Live Monitoring for SAT/ACT Test Day
Before Test Day Checklist
- Assessment Assignment (Performed By Admin):
- Assign the specific SAT/ACT assessment(s) to the correct student groups or classes within Progress Learning.
- Double-check the assignment settings (start/end dates, start/end time, accommodations).
- Devices: Ensure all devices (computers, tablets) students will use are fully charged and in good working order.
- Internet Connectivity: Verify stable and strong internet access in all assessment locations.
- Browser Compatibility: Confirm that the browsers being used are compatible with Progress Learning (updated versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
- Headphones (if applicable): If the SAT assessment includes audio components, ensure working headphones are available for each student.
- Verify all students have active accounts and can log in to Progress Learning successfully.
- Ensure teachers/proctors also have appropriate access.
- Confirm that all students are correctly rostered in their respective classes within Progress Learning. This is crucial for accurate reporting and assignment distribution.
- If using Clever/ClassLink for rostering, ensure the connection to Progress Learning is enabled and up-to-date. Remember that Horizon Education Clever/ClassLink rostering does not automatically transfer to Progress Learning and requires a new setup.
It's recommended to check in before test day to verify assessments are correctly assigned and that all Accommodations are in place.
