Introduction

Administrators can manage the links to instructional resources. The ability to add, review, edit, or delete instructional resources is based on having a user role that includes managing instructional resources. (Refer to Table 1 in the Description of CERS and Tools for Teachers Permissions within TOMS Roles section for more information about role-based permissions).

Administrators may add links to local or other resources into CERS for educators to access. These District Administrator added links will appear under the [District Resources] button.

By default, each Smarter Balanced ELA and math Interim Assessment Block (IAB) or Focused Interim Assessment Block (FIAB) is connected to a related Tools for Teachers Connections Playlist. Connections Playlists have resources that include lesson plans aligned with the content assessed by a specific IAB or focused IAB. When viewing IAB or FIAB results, the [Tools for Teachers] button directs the user to the Connections Playlist for the specific assessment the user was viewing results for in CERS. The [Tools for Teachers] button that appears for other interim and summative assessments connects to the Tools for Teachers home page.
