Achievement District Test Coordinator Updates
December 14, 2022 |
Achievement Training Modules are Now Available!
Training modules are now available in Pearson's Arizona Training Management System (ATMS): https://azachieve.tms.pearson.com/. From this link, complete the Registration page with your information, using the email address associated with your PearsonAccessNext account. Next, select your user role. Achievement District Test Coordinators (DTCs) must select "District Test Coordinator" as the user role to ensure ADE is able to track your completion of the required training modules.
ADE will track that DTCs have completed training. It is the responsibility of DTCs to track that testing staff within your district or charter have received training according to their user roles. The following chart provides details regarding each training module and which user roles are required to complete them. Your testing staff may view the modules within ATMS or you may share the modules in a group training outside of ATMS. A PowerPoint and transcript will be available for each module, and there is also a "Group Training" feature within ATMS. Please see the ATMS FAQ document for additional information.
Achievement District Test Coordinators should complete required training modules in ATMS by January 31, 2023. |
