Creating District or Intermediate Organization Assessment Definitions for Schools

Create assessment definitions for records for any assessments you track for your students, such as PSATs and SATs.

Once the assessment definition is created, define the columns you want to use for the assessment so they can be customized for each school or level within your district or intermediate organization. These columns of information are similar to user-defined fields and are how Aspen organizes the student assessments you give to students and report on during the school year.

Usually, Aspen system administrators create an assessment definition for each assessment students are given (for example, one for all high school students who take the PSAT, and another for all middle schools who take the state-mandated test). Each assessment might contain different columns due to the different types of assessments students are given.

To create assessment definitions:

1. Define the details of a assessment definition.
2. Define the columns for the assessment definition.
