Getting Started with Axiom

Your Axiom license has been activated! To access the reports and start using this tool, follow these steps:

• Grant User Right 

• A system administrator must grant this right.
• There is a new RIGHT under Aware named “Analyze Accountability Data”
• Grant this right to district Accountability folks first. (We will update at a later date regarding individual campus access as needed.) ONLY users with this right will see and be able to access Axiom.
• Note: This right is NOT part of any role nor granted to any user by default. It will need to be given individually to any district user to access Axiom.

 

• Switch to Aware and Navigate to Axiom
• New Tab in Aware

• Settings
• Configure Campuses
• View Data Files
• Recalculate Indexes

• "Configure Campuses"
  • Use the dropdown options to:
    • Choose Campus type and confirm these are correct
    • Choose Index 3 Race 1 & Choose Index 3 Race 2

                   

• Enter Index 4 Data
  • Select this option and enter the data to assist for the Index 4 report

MORE INFORMATION IS COMING TO HELP YOU WITH INDEX 4 DATA!   

• View Data Files

• Confirm that all correct data files have been imported.
• If any are missing, go back to the Analyze tab and Import the needed files

These are the files to make sure you have imported into Aware.

• STAAR EOC Summer 2016
• STAAR EOC Fall 2016
• STAAR 3-8 Spring 2017 (with March 5-8 data)
• STAAR 3-8 Spring Alt 2 2017
• STAAR 5-8 SSI May 2017 Retest
• STAAR EOC Spring 2017 (Multiple Files)
• STAAR EOC Spring Alt 2 2017

NOTE: The CAF is not necessary and not needed for Axiom to work. 

• “Recalculate Indexes"
  • This is like a Reload or Refresh button. Once you’ve reimported test files or added information to Index 4, this button needs to be clicked.  There will be a confirmation window that appears.  (Note: Although it doesn’t look or feel like a button, but it actually works like one.)
  • Commit to your click!  Click and wait, it's actually works very quickly! 

• If you get the Warning banner, you need to click RECALCULATE INDEXES  (yes we are going to make that less confusing!) :)
• This is different than Re-Importing your STAAR files.
