When you are doing the teacher client install look in the URL – if you are having problems, you will be at the point where the URL in the address bar ends with “step=5” just change the 5 to a six in the URL to “fool” the program.

GLAD

GLAD is the EUP area testing for 1 - 8th grade students.  It stands for Grade Level Assessment Device.   The lead people on this project for the ISD are Tammy Rutledge and Shannon Adkins.  If you have questions please send them to glad@eup.k12.mi.us  The students take a test that is correlated to the Michigan standards for the grade they are entering.  They are not expected to score high, this information will be compared with the post test and the information gathered can be used by the district to identify many potential problems.  The teacher can also use the pre-test to help focus the curriculum on areas that are lacking for the individual students.

There isn't any automatic way in Class Server to transfer a student from school to school.  The best I can think of is using last years spreadsheet(if you used the csv file to mass add students) and extract only the students moving up and import those into the next school.

Actually if you do have trouble attaching the CAD drawing files as a student, let me know the extension(s) of the files.  I can configure Class Server to allow the needed file types.

Testing Procedures and Rules

GRADE 1
The Language Arts test may be read by the teacher to Grade 1 students for both the pre and post test ( it is measuring LA skills not Reading skills)
It is suggested the Reading test for Grade 1 be given in January and May ( many first graders can't read at this time)

GRADE 2
Students read individually the Language Arts test  (teachers may not read this test to the students)
The grade 2 reading test may be printed and set on the desk at the computer.  The student uses the computer to click on the answer.

Cleaning Up Your Learning Resources

• The Learning Resources can be deleted from "My Learning Resources" after taking the tests.  Getting rid of the Learning Resources only prevent the teacher from assigning the tests again.

• However, deleting the assignments out of the "Assignment Manager" will remove any future ability to review or generate reports based on those test scores.

• What is the recommendations for instructors when dealing with assessment tests from the past?

Here is a way to use Class Server to get results to the parents.

An instructor wants to use an assignment or quiz that was taken on Class Server and show the test results to the parent during PT Conferences.

The method for a student led conference and to save on printing cost is:
