Sorry: I was interrupted during slides just prior to 73: can we pull up the results for our current students on the previous year's interim assessments with another teacher, or just for our own "old" students from the previous year?

I am planning to have a committee of teachers complete the hand scoring for all students who took an IAB, so they will need to access responses of students who may not be in their own class or even at their school site. Is there a way to give those selected teachers access to see ALL the students' responses to the hand scored items?

I am unable to access anything through TOMs except for Tools for Teachers. Somehow my account got deactivated. Tyler S. fixed my account yesterday so I could access Tools for Teachers. I asked if I needed to check anything else so ensure I could access things for today's training. Turns out, my account is still not right. I called the ets 800 # and they told me my institution is set as California, not my site/district. I have emailed my districts LEA to see if they can fix this...but frustrated :/

I hope in the future you can break this into 2-3 training with greater opportunity to actually investigate and use the tools and resources. Thank you
