Unlocking the Potential of the Woodcock-Johnson IV Online Scoring System
The Woodcock-Johnson IV (WJ IV) Online Scoring and Reporting System is a powerful tool for educators and administrators in the field of special education. It offers a streamlined approach to scoring and reporting, allowing for efficient and accurate assessments. However, to fully leverage its capabilities, it's crucial to understand its features and best practices. In this blog, we'll explore some of the frequently asked questions and provide insights into maximizing the potential of this system.
Common Challenges and Solutions
Why Can’t I Run a Report on an Examinee’s Test Record?
One common issue users face is the inability to run reports on test records. This usually happens because the test record must be committed before generating a report. Ensure that all data is accurate and finalized before committing the record to avoid any discrepancies.
Why Do I Have to Reset My Password Every Time I Login?
Password issues can be frustrating, but they are often due to not adhering to the password guidelines. Here are the key points to remember:
- Password must be between 8 and 10 characters.
- It should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.
- Avoid using your username or dictionary words.
- Incorporate phonetic replacements and unique acronyms.
Customizing Your Score Reports
Customizing score reports to display specific scores such as percentile ranks can be done by creating a Score Selection template. Here's how:
- Navigate to your WJ IV Online Scoring site home page.
- Select the Reports drop-down menu and click Create Report.
- Complete fields like Report Type, Product, Examinee, and Normative Basis.
- In the Score Selection Template field, create a new template and select up to 8 scores (plus CALP).
- Save the template for future use.
Entering Scores and Cost Considerations
To complete a report, follow these steps:
- Enter raw scores and double-check the date of testing.
- Commit the test record, keeping in mind that this uses one Individual Score Report (ISR).
- Within 90 days, you can make changes to the raw scores without using another ISR.
It's important to note that the use of online scoring is included with the purchase of protocols, and there is no additional charge. Each protocol purchased grants one ISR, so manage them wisely.
