Completing a full DESSA Assessment on Only a Subset of Students

Overview

At times there is a need to complete a full DESSA for only a subset of students below a certain T-Score threshold. For instance, district policy may require students to be opted-in before a full DESSA is conducted. How can educators accomplish this? 

Yearly Setup

Program Admins should ensure that in Yearly Setup the option Conditional assignment of a full assessment based on a T-Score less than or equal to X is unchecked, as it is selected by default. For step-by-step instructions on completing Yearly Setup, see this support article.

Steps to Complete a Full DESSA

Educators can give students the full DESSA through Progress Monitoring. Please follow the steps below to administer the full DESSA to individual students.

  1. Click on the Ratings tab in the navigation bar

  2. After a DESSA-mini has been completed, click on the name of the student who you want to give a full DESSA to, and then click Complete Progress Monitoring

  3. Click on the circle next to DESSA (or DESSA-HSE), and then click Continue
