MS-CPAS

MS-CPAS reports have been published. An explanation of each report can be found in the MS-CPAS Interpretive Guide. Three of the reports that could be helpful to teachers include:


  • MS-CPAS Class Report: Contains the class average for each unit and can be used to inform instructional practices
  • MS-CPAS Student Report: Provides details about each student’s achievement in an assessment
  • MS-CPAS State Overview Report: Contains the state’s average score for each unit and allows instructors to compare their students’ unit scores with the statewide average


Reports can be found on the RCU website by navigating to Assessment > Reports > Secondary MS-CPAS (Spring 2018-Present). Reports can only be accessed by district account holders. Please download and share these reports with your teachers.

National Certifications

All national certification reports, including class reports and state ranking reports, have been published. You can find the available reports by navigating to Assessment > Reports > Secondary National Certification Reports. Reports can only be accessed by district account holders. Please download and share these reports with your teachers.


NCCER:

NCCER proctor training will occur at MS ACTE. Your registration for the MS ACTE conference includes this training; there is no registration beyond your conference registration to attend proctor training.


As always, if you have a question or need assistance, reach out to us by sending a Help Desk ticket or by calling 662.325.2510.
