We are Moving to DMAC!

We are transitioning away from Eduphoria for assessments and moving to DMAC.  Many of you are familiar with DMAC as it was used in the past in Tatum.  We will have training on DMAC for developing formative assessments in August when you return to school.

If you would like to get access to DMAC now so that you can play with the software, email me and I will send you your DMAC username and password.

To help you learn about DMAC, you can visit the DMAC Resources Page.  It contains lots of resources to help you learn about DMAC.  Below I have created some Google Doc with video tools from DMAC that will show you exactly how to generate a wide array of reports in DMAC.

The good news is that our STAAR data is there, and you can begin looking at your results.  If you need any help with DMAC, shoot me an email or give me a call.  I'll be glad to help you.

STATE ASSESSMENT for ALL STUDENTS in GRADE
If you are teaching a STAAR tested course, you will need to familiarize yourself with this link so that you will know how to select reports based on student performance on STAAR.  This report will help you analyze all students in a given grade.  These reports are not the best way to drill down to individual students, as the next link is designed for that.

STATE ASSESSMENT for INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS OF STUDENTS
If you are teaching a STAAR tested course, you will need to familiarize yourself with this link so that you will know how to select reports based on individual student performance on STAAR.

MAKE A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
EVERY core teacher will need to know how to use DMAC to make a test using TAG.  Please take some time to familiarize yourself with this powerful tool.  We will all learn more about this during the week of August 17.

ONLINE TESTING & REPORTS IN TEKSCORE
EVERY core teacher will need to know how to use DMAC to analyze their results and get students online to enter their responses to the test.  Please take some time to familiarize yourself with this powerful tool.  We will all learn more about this during the week of August 17.
