Teacher Log in Info
The teachers usernames will be their email addresses. Their default password is teacher. Once they login the first time, they will be required to reset their password.
This is a checklist to help you think about what you might want to consider before testing.
These are the videos to show your students prior to testing. The company recommends 20 minute sessions. So two twenty minute sessions for reading and then two for math. You may have to allow another twenty minute session for those who have not finished. Plan and adjust as your students need--it will start back at the place they stop. Michelle reminded me that the company said it may take two 45 minutes sessions so we will have to see how long it takes.
