The Bulk Scheduler in Imagine Galileo allows District Administrators and School Administrators to schedule grade-level tests (schedule benchmark tests), including interim assessments, assignments, units, and lesson plans across the organization, at selected schools, and for selected classes, as needed. To administer an assessment or assignment in Imagine Galileo, it must be scheduled. Once you have created your test, you can use the Bulk Schedule History to edit your testing dates and other test details.
Note
Scheduling a test and assignment is based on the library permission (e.g. only District Administrators have Results Only permission to test libraries).
To bulk schedule a test
- Log in to Imagine Galileo.
- Click Assessment > Test Scheduling > Bulk Scheduler.
- Use the Library drop-down list to select a test library.
- Select the relevant standards to generate test items to add to your test. Then click Next.
- Choose the School Type, and the School(s) you want to assign the test to, then click Next.
-
Filter classes with any combination of Class Name and enrolled Student Grade Level. If your district or school uses multiple terms, the terms selected on the Settings page are used to filter the scheduled classes. Click Next.
-
Select the class you want to assign the test to and the Instructor of Record. By default, the designated classroom teacher is selected. Click Next after selecting the school(s) and Instructor of record.
Recommendation
When scheduling a test for under 1000 classes, the Instructor of Record selection is part of the bulk scheduling process. The scheduler may change the default Instructor of Record.
When scheduling a test for over 1000 classes the scheduler cannot edit the Instructor of Record during the scheduling process. After scheduling the test, the Bulk Schedule History page is accessed, and editing (selection) is done.
- Select the date, day, and time for administering the test, and then click Next.
- Review your testing options. You can adjust testing availability dates, password use, restrict grade levels, randomize items, allow the use of a translator, allow the use of a dictionary and thesaurus, allow the use of text-to-speech, enable test limit times, and choose to post student score and responses. When assigning a math test you have the option of allowing students to access a basic, scientific, or graphing calculator. After choosing applicable testing options, click Schedule Test.
