This page provides step-by-step instructions for creating, assigning, and completing assessments in Insight Assessment. You’ll learn how to administer each assessment type, manage assessment activity, and submit completed assessments for review.

Starting a New Assessment #

Educators can start a new assessment directly from their student roster. Assessments can be completed for individual students or initiated for an entire class, depending on the selected assessment type.

Starting an Individual Student Assessment #

1. Open Insight Assessment and select the assessment type you want to administer.
2. Select Get Started →
3. From the Classes page, select the class containing the student you want to assess.
4. Locate the student on the Student Assessments page.
5. Select Add Assessment next to the student’s name to begin a new assessment.

Starting a Whole Class Assessment #

For the Educator Assessment of Student Core Competencies, you can also use the Class Assessment option to assess multiple students.

1. Navigate to the Student Assessments page for your selected class.
2. Click Class Assessment at the top of the page.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin assessing students.

Note: Assessment options and administration methods vary by assessment type. The following sections provide detailed instructions for completing each assessment.

After Completing an Assessment #

Once an assessment is submitted, it appears on the Student Assessments page as a colored score tile displaying the assessment score and completion date.

Select the completed assessment to review its results. You can also access available reports and personalized instructional recommendations through the student’s reporting options.

Note: The Educator Assessment of Student Core Competencies is the only assessment type that generates personalized lesson and intervention recommendations within QuaverReady. Detailed instructions for interpreting results and accessing recommendations are provided in later sections of this manual.

Assigning a Student Self-Assessment #

The Student Self-Assessment of Core Competencies allows students to reflect on their own strengths and areas for growth. Educators assign the assessment, and students complete it independently through their Student Dashboard. 

To assign a Student Self-Assessment: #

• Open Insight Assessment.
• Select Student Self-Assessment of Core Competencies.
• Click Get Started →
• Navigate to the Classes page and select the appropriate class.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to assign the assessment to the class.

Completing the Assessment as a Student #

Once assigned, the student accesses the assessment through their Student Dashboard.

• The student logs in to their QuaverReady account.
• The student opens the assigned self-assessment using the assignments icon.
• The student reads each statement and selects the response that best reflects their perspective.
• The student completes and submits the assessment.

Reviewing Student Self-Assessment Results #

After the student submits the assessment, educators can access the completed results in Insight Assessment.

Student Self-Assessment results provide an additional perspective on student competencies and can be reviewed alongside educator assessment results.

Important: Student Self-Assessments must be completed by students themselves. Educators cannot complete these assessments on a student’s behalf. Student Self-Assessments do not generate personalized lesson or intervention recommendations. 

Parent Assessment of Student #

The Parent Assessment of Student allows parents and guardians to provide their perspective on their child’s core competencies. This assessment offers educators additional insight into student strengths and areas for growth outside the classroom.

How It Works #

Parents and guardians can access the assessment through the QuaverReady Family Portal.

• The parent or guardian accesses the Parent Portal.
• The parent or guardian launches the Parent Assessment of Student.
• The parent or guardian responds to statements about their child’s core competencies.
• Once submitted, the completed assessment is associated with the student’s assessment record.

Reviewing Parent Assessment Results #

Educators will be able to review completed Parent Assessments alongside other available student assessments. These results provide an additional perspective to support a more comprehensive understanding of student needs.

Administering SRSS-IE #

The Student Risk Screening Scale – Internalizing and Externalizing (SRSS-IE) is an educator-completed assessment used to identify students who may be at risk for internalizing or externalizing behavioral concerns.

SRSS-IE is designed to be administered three times throughout the school year: beginning of year (Pre), middle of year (Mid), and end of year (Post). These assessment periods allow schools to monitor changes in student risk levels over time.

Starting an SRSS-IE Assessment #

1. Open Insight Assessment.
2. Select SRSS-IE from the available assessment options. (Choose your appropriate grade band)
3. Click Get Started →
4. Navigate to the Classes page and select the class you want to assess.
5. Open the SRSS-IE assessment for the selected class.
6. Select the Class Assessment at the top.

Completing the Assessment #

SRSS-IE uses educator observations to evaluate student behaviors.

1. Review the behavioral items included in the assessment.
2. Consider your observations of each student’s behavior.
3. Select the appropriate frequency rating for each item.
4. Continue until all required items have been completed for each student.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to save or submit the assessment.

Understanding Assessment Periods #

SRSS-IE is administered during three assessment periods:

Assessment Period	Purpose
Pre  (Beginning of Year)	Establishes an initial understanding of student behavioral risk.
Mid  (Middle of Year)	Helps educators identify changes in behavioral risk during the school year.
Post  (End of Year)	Provides an opportunity to review changes across the school year.

After Completing an Assessment #

SRSS-IE results provide information about student risk levels in two areas:

• Externalizing Behaviors: Observable behaviors such as disruption, aggression, and difficulty following expectations.
• Internalizing Behaviors: Less observable concerns such as withdrawal, anxiety-related behaviors, and social isolation.

Results can help educators identify students who may need additional review or support and monitor changes across assessment periods.

Note: SRSS-IE results indicate behavioral risk levels and should not be interpreted as a clinical diagnosis. Unlike the Educator Assessment of Student Core Competencies, SRSS-IE does not automatically generate personalized lesson or intervention recommendations.

Saving, Resuming, and Submitting Assessments #

When completing an assessment, educators may need to stop before all responses have been entered. Understanding how assessment progress is saved helps prevent the loss of information and allows educators to return to unfinished assessments.

Saving an Assessment #

Follow the on-screen instructions to save your assessment progress before leaving the assessment.

Resuming an Assessment #

1. Open Insight Assessment and select the appropriate assessment type.
2. Navigate to the Classes page.
3. Select the class containing the student or assessment you want to resume.
4. Locate the unfinished assessment.
5. Open the assessment and continue entering responses.
6. Complete and submit the assessment when finished.

Note: Saving and resuming options may vary depending on the assessment type. Be sure to save your progress, when supported, before leaving an unfinished assessment.

Submitting an Assessment #

1. Complete all required assessment statements.
2. Review your responses for accuracy.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize or submit the assessment.
4. Return to the Student Assessments page to view the completed assessment, when applicable.

After Submission #

Once an assessment is completed, the results become available for review. Depending on the assessment type, you may be able to:

• View assessment scores and results.
• Access individual student reports.
• Review previous assessments to monitor progress.
• Explore personalized lesson and intervention recommendations generated by the Educator Assessment of Student Core Competencies.

Note: Available results and reporting options vary by assessment type. Detailed instructions for interpreting assessment results are provided later in this manual.
