Curriculum Administrator District Bank Management Resources

Use the curriculum administrator guide to manage district assessment banks.

Curriculum Administrators can create, manage, and share assessment banks with teachers across their district for supported learning programs. They have access to the same assessment banks as teachers for each program taught at their schools, as well as access to assessment banks created specifically for administrators for some programs.

Refer to the Curriculum Administrator Custom Assessment Resources article for details on managing custom assessments.

For Wonders and Maravillas products, Curriculum Administrators can also create and share District Planners. For more information, refer to the Wonders/Maravillas District Planner Manager article.

Best Practices

• Use the bank locking feature available when sharing District Banks with teachers. Sharing assessment banks can ensure teachers throughout the district are giving the same assessment to students, allowing for administrator reports to generate successfully. We highly recommend using the Locked option to ensure that Administrator Reports are accurate across the schools and district.
• Create a different District Bank for each IEP that is needed for students.
• If multiple administrators are managing District Banks, make certain users are communicating about changes being made by one another to assessments within a District Bank.
• Remove assessments from the District Bank if it is no longer needed or accurate to prevent teachers from assigning them to students.

Things to be aware of

• Allowing teachers to make adjustments to assessments, such as adding/removing questions and changing student settings, can prevent assessment data from successfully rolling into administrator reports.
  
  • Making changes to an assessment after it has been assigned to students will make different assessments show within administrator reports, even if they have the same name.
• If multiple users are managing District Banks and using the same login information, be aware that changes to assessments are not tracked.

Administrator-Specific Assessment Banks

In addition to the McGraw Hill assessments available to teachers, some programs offer assessment banks created specifically for Curriculum Administrators. These special assessments are available to share with teachers or to use as a base for creating new assessments to share across schools or a district.

Assessment Bank Availability

Curriculum Administrators have access to assessment banks for all programs that use McGraw Hill Assess, such as programs with a copyright of 2020 or newer.

Some older programs still have the use of eAssessment, as well as StudySync, and have a separate process of creating and sharing assessments with teachers. The following links will navigate you to articles that will walk you through how to manage assessments as an administrator for these programs:

• Create and Edit eAssessment Tests as an Administrator

• Create and Edit eAssessment Tests as an Administrator Video

• Share eAssessment Tests and Question Sets as an Administrator

• StudySync Administrator Assessment Management
