Generating Plan and Manage Testing Report

TIDE includes a Plan and Manage Testing report that details all of a student's test opportunities and the status of those test opportunities.

Because the report lists testing opportunities, a student can appear more than once on the report.

To generate a Plan and Manage Testing report:

1.From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the dashboard, select Plan and Manage Testing. The Plan and Manage Testing page appears.

2.In the Choose What panel, select the parameters for which tests to include in your report:

a. From the Test Type field, select the radio button for the desired test type. If you select TFAR Teacher Authored Tests, skip to step 3.

b. From the Test drop-down list, select a test category.

c.From the Administration drop-down list, select an administration.

d. Optional: From the Test Name drop-down list, select the test for which you want to generate the report. You may select one, multiple, or all from this list.

3.In the Search Students panel, select the parameters for whose information to include in your report:

a.From the Region drop-down list, select a region if applicable.

b.From the District drop-down list, select a district if applicable.

c.From the Campus drop-down list, select a campus if applicable.You may select one or more campuses from this list. You may also select all campuses. If you select more than 20 campuses or if you select all campuses and the district contains more than 20 campuses, the report will only be available to export to the Inbox.

Note: About the Proctor Drop-down List

The Proctor drop-down list includes all campus-level users, such as teachers, test administrators, and principal associated with the selected campus. When you select a person from the Proctor drop-down list, TIDE performs a check to see if the person is associated with any roster. If no rosters exist for the selected person, no data is displayed when you generate the report. If the selected person has an associated roster, the plan and manage testing reports shows the test attempts of the students included in the roster.

If you do not select any person from the Proctor drop-down list and use the default value of All to generate the report, you will see all the tests taken in that campus, irrespective of roster associations.

It is important to note that the Proctor name displayed on the Plan and Manage Testing report does not imply the name of the proctor associated with a roster. The proctor is the person who conducts the test. This can be the same person, or it can mean a different person.

d.Optional: In the Student’s Last Name field, enter a student’s last name.

e.Optional: In the Student’s First Name field, enter a student’s first name.

f.Optional: In the TSDS ID field, enter a TSDS ID.

g.Optional: In the PEIMS ID field, enter a PEIMS ID.

h.Optional: From the Grade drop-down list, select a grade. You may select one, multiple, or all grades from this list.

i.Optional: From the Gender drop-down list, select the student's gender.

4.In the Step 3: Get Specific panel, select the radio buttons for one of the options and set the parameters for that option. The following options are available (parameters for each option are listed in {brackets}):

Students who {have/have not} {completed/started} {1st/2nd/Any} opportunity in the selected administration.

Note: Search for students who have not started the 1st/Any opportunity will return results for students who have not started their first opportunity on the selected test.

Students whose current opportunity will expire {in/between} {number/range} days.

Note: If you select "in", you may enter any number in the displayed text box to determine tests expiring in the specified number of days. You may also enter 0 to see opportunities that expire that day.
If you select "between", you may enter two numbers in the displayed text boxes to signify a range of days (such as 1-3).

Students on their {1st/2nd/Any} opportunity in the selected administration who have a status of {student test status}.
Students who have a status of {student test status} in the selected administration.
Students whose most recent {Session ID/Test Administrator Name} was {Optional Session ID/Test Administrator Name} between {start date} and {end date}.
Search student(s) by {TSDS ID/Name}: {TSDS ID/Student Name}.

Table 23 lists the columns in the Plan and Manage Testing report.

Table 23: Columns in the Plan and Manage Testing report
Field	Description
Challenge Up	Indicates whether a student took an on- or off-level test.
ESC Name	Name of the region associated with the record.
Current LEP	Indicates whether the student is an English learner.
Date Completed	The date when the student submitted the test for scoring.
Date Started	The date when the first test item was presented to the student for that opportunity.
District Name	Name of the district associated with the record.
Enrolled Grade	The grade in which a student is enrolled.
Expiration Date	The date the test opportunity expires.
Force Complete Date	The date a test expired and was force-completed.
Interim Test Grade	Indicates the interim grades set up for the student.
Language	The language setting that was assigned to the student (English or Spanish).
Last Activity	The date of the last activity for that opportunity or record. A completed test can still have activity as it goes through the QA and reporting process.
Name	Student’s legal name (Last Name, First Name).
Opportunity	The opportunity number for that student’s specific record.
Restarts	The total number of times a student has resumed an opportunity (e.g., if a test has been paused three times and the student has resumed the opportunity after each pause, this column will show three restarts). (This includes Restarts Within Grace Period—see below.)
Restarts Within Grace Period	The total number of times a student has resumed an opportunity within 20 minutes after a test was paused. For example, if a test has been paused three times and the student resumed the opportunity within 20 minutes of two pauses but 25 minutes after the third pause, this column shows two Restarts Within Grace Period. A student has a grace period of 20 minutes to pause the test at a test item and then resume the test at that same item. However, if a test is paused for more than 20 minutes, the test session will expire, and the student will not be able to review any previous answers.

Campus Name	Name of the campus associated with the record.
