Progress monitoring on CLI Engage offers opportunities for remote assessment administration.
Due to anticipated disruptions at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year as a result of COVID-19, CLI is currently working to develop and test alternative administration functionality and protocols. The information provided here will be updated as more information becomes available.
This webpage will provide an overview of how different assessments can be administered remotely. The results of these remote administration tools will still provide a reliable measure of students’ abilities and assist in differentiating instruction to meet the individual needs of students.
All assessments will still be accessed through the CLI Engage website. See the sidebar for links to How-To-Guides, reports, and Family Engagement resources. It is highly recommended to use the offline assessment feature when administering assessments to reduce lag/screen delay.
Prior to the remote administration of any CLI assessments, we encourage you to make the following considerations:
- Students will vary in terms of their familiarity and comfort with assessments and technology
- Parent support is not required but is recommended
- Be sufficiently familiar with the CLI Engage platform
- Make sure all equipment is working properly (specific requirements included in the testing area)
- You do not need to complete entire assessments in one sitting, but should complete a subtest in one sitting
- Remember to be consistent and accurate when administering
As with all assessment protocols on the CLI Engage platform, submit a help ticket if you need assistance. This link is always available in the website navigation and a CLI staff member will contact you within 48 hours.
CLI offers the following training webinars:
- Remote Administration for CIRCLE Progress Monitoring
- Remote Administration for TX-KEA
- Remote Administration for TPRI & Tejas LEE
