INTERIMS 2007

 

Teachers, (NEW TEACHERS see below to clarify what this means....)

 

Fixing a Glitch

You may have already done this First Nine weeks—if so skip this part. 

there is a small glitch in the setup for generating interims. You may notice a strange column heading that says "extra five"--

 

to change this, here is a quote from another TIS:

 

To do that they will need to go to the "View" Menu and "Change Columns".  They will need to click on the "Task" tab under Change Columns.  You'll see Extra 5 under there.  They can pick another field to use.  Use "Task Type"....

 

close this and you are set!!!

 

Now make sure you are setup to print to a laser printer. Do this by clicking File-print setup—and choosing a laser printer you have installed. See Jeff if you don’t see the one you want to use. (They are Room226, Office, 502 Lab, 509 Lab.)

 

NEW TEACHERS (refresher for returning teachers)

--please follow carefully--or you may waste a lot of time and paper. Before you do this, you may want to know how to print notes to the class, parents or individuals--this is one of the most powerful and effective uses of IGPRO.

 

you generate and then print interims in IGPRO. To do this you MUST print to a laser printer (unless you have only a few students all day).

1. Click File--Print setup--and choose the office laserjet printer, a computer lab (509 or 502) printer near you (check paper and MAP testing schedule first), or another laser printer you are familiar with using

 

NOW--when you a re POSITIVE you are ready to print--

2. click "Reports" in the menu

3. choose "student progress"

4. Click Next

5. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED TO SEE if they look correct (click in the middle to zoom in or back out) 

6. click Print.

 

Notes

---First, if you have the notes in a Word doc or other text editor:

 

Select the text and choose your favorite method to copy (right-click and choose copy, or choose "Edit" and "Copy" from the menu)

 

--Next click Setup---Class...   Click the "Notes" tab and then choose each class and paste. YOU HAVE TO press the CTRL and V keys on the keyboard to paste your notes into the blanks -- (I have never been able to get the right-click to work!) You have to do this for ALL CLASSES -- so one-by-one, choose each class in the list on the left and then paste).

 

--Then, when you are ready to generate your interims:

 

Printing

First make sure you are setup to print to a laser printer. Do this by clicking File-print setup—and choosing a laser printer you have installed. See Jeff if you don’t see the one you want to use. (They are Room226, Office, 502 Lab, 509 Lab.)

 

 

Click Reports--Student Progress-- and make sure the "Class" box is checked.

 

check or uncheck anything you want or don't want.

 

IMPORTANT-------IMPORTANT----AND DID I MENTION, IMPORTANT!!!

 

------IF YOU TEACH A LOT OF STUDENTS, The NEXT STEP SHOULD ONLY BE DONE WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED INTO A COMPUTER THAT HAS A LASER PRINTER INSTALLED AND YOU ARE SURE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND READY TO PRINT. I CAN HELP YOU FIGURE OUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE LASER.

 

Click next and then print. It is best to do this to a laser printer to save ink of course--so print to a lab printer (like 509 or 502) or somewhere that has a laser installed (223 in the 6th grade hall).
