Site Coordinators (Principals) can assign student responses to be scored to other TA (Teachers)

• Students questions to be scored are automatically assigned to the TA who logged them in last.

• For example, a principal does a make up test and logs a student in or an RSP teacher logs in for a substitute teacher and begins a sessions. Those students will not show up to be scored under that person.

• Within the Interim Assess Hand Score System tab, the site coordinator will have another button at the bottom of the screen.

Reassigning Student answers to another person to score.

This button will not appear on Test Administrator (TA/Teacher) screens.

Once the reassignment is made, it will move that student from one TA to the other TA list.
