What is Achievement Series?
What is Achievement Series?
• Web-based• Content neutral• Collaborative environment• Multiple delivery methods• Real-time results• Standards-based
How Achievement Series Works:
Build/Use Item Banks: Content neutral structure
Develop Tests: District benchmarks or classroom quizzes
Administer Tests: Online, plain paper and/or OMR scanning
View Reports: Immediate results for disaggregation
View Reports
• Quickly identify which items are challenging the majority of students in the classroom (see # 8)
View Reports
• View Item Response Detail to understand how students are answering each question.
Check Point
2. Achievement Series can be used for:A. Progress monitoring assistanceB. Online take-home testsC. Online study guidesD. All of the above

Site Hierarchy & Navigation
System Navigation: Site Hierarchy
• An Achievement Series site can contain several levels of organization.
• The graphic below shows how the Alabama site is structured.o State (only one allowed)o Regions (multiple allowed)o School Systems (multiple allowed)o Schools (multiple allowed)
• Achievement Series allows up to five levels in an organization.
• You can administer different elements at each level.
• Any level above the school level functions like a district.
System Navigation: Access Levels/Staff Roles• Along with having multiple levels in the site hierarchy, there are also staff access
levels.• A Location Controller can perform all tasks at a location.
– For security reasons, keep the number of location controllers at a location to a minimum.
• A Location Controller Staff can perform all tasks at a location, except tasks requiring a deletion.
• An Administrator has full viewing/reporting and item/test creation capabilities at a location, but cannot create/edit students or staff.
• A Teacher w/out Student Edit can view just the students and classes they have been assigned to, but cannot create/edit students.
• A Teacher w/ Student Edit can view just the students and classes they have been assigned to, but can create/edit students.
• A Data Entry level person has creating/editing/deleting capabilities to allow most common data entry tasks.
• A Test Operator can perform tasks related to the test taking logistics of the system.
• A Consultant must be assigned to projects for any rights.
