The Technical Readiness tab allows you to:
- review all the Administration Checklist items
- check the completed items
- track your progress
When both the Before the Assessment Window section of the the administration checklist and the school board IT checklist are completed, a green box confirming the assessment can be administered will be displayed.
NOTE
Teachers can administer the assessment only once these checklists are completed.
