Please review some of these screenshots to assist you with your local assessment entry in Aspen.

Make sure you change the Date Range options! If you keep the selected Date Range of 09/01/2015 - 06/17/2016 Aspen will want to load all of the assessments that your students have in the system. This will take an inordinate amount of time to load. CHANGE THE DATE RANGE.



Once you've changed your date range to include a single date (duplicate the same date in both fields) you should choose the Assessment Definition. Click on the picklist icon to select the correct assessment. In this case you will choose the Local Assessment definition.



CHANGE THE FIELD SET NEXT: Once you've selected your assessment definition you should change the filed set to match your assessment definition. This will change the columns that are viewable on the page.



It will look something like this:



Now you can choose your students by clicking the select students option. You will need to choose from the following options. I usually choose students in my classes, or students by section.



Click OK, and your students will be displayed for that single assessment. Now you can input your local assessment scores.



Contact me if you need assistance. You can also access the Local Assessment Assignment Names and Dates document here.

  1. Jim,
    I think you need to reshare the local assessment date document, so teachers know which date to enter for the assessment they are grading. Many teachers have told me they don't remember ever having it shared with them.

  2. Jim,
    I'm not sure that everyone has the assessment dates document.
