Syncing third-party assessment scores with Imagine MyPath

Imagine MyPath can be integrated with third-party assessments to assign student placements in Math and Reading. This article provides an overview of the integration process and key considerations.

Assessment integrations are available for the following third-party assessments:

Integration process

  1. Setup: Contact your Imagine Learning Account Executive or Customer Success Manager to initiate the integration process.
  2. Rostering: Requires a rostering integration to add students' assessment IDs to their profiles.
  3. Data retrieval: The system automatically retrieves students' most recent assessment results.
  4. Placement determination: MyPath assigns grade-level placements based on assessment results.
  5. Learning path creation: Personalized learning paths are created aligned with the student's assessed proficiencies.

Key considerations

  • Data retrieval window: By default, integrations pull data from assessments completed after July 1 of the current school year. For earlier data, contact your Customer Success Manager.
  • Sync process: Nightly syncs review assessment results received in the past 7 days, using new results to generate or update student placements.
  • NWEA vs. Renaissance: NWEA provides domain-specific performance data, resulting in a highly tailored learning path. Renaissance data is used to assign an overall placement grade.
  • Manual placements: If manually assigned before integration setup, assessment results may override if they yield a different overall placement grade. Domain-specific results (from NWEA only) may also adjust upcoming lessons.
  • Placement changes: Manual changes to integration-assigned placements may be overridden by future assessment results if they produce a different overall placement grade.

Helpful resources:

Manually Inserting a Student's Third-Party ID

Occasionally, a student's account may not have been assigned a third-party ID. Therefore, the assessment results will not appear in the MyPath system for that student. So, it is crucial to check the student's profile in case a placement was not assigned. 
Viewing the Placement of Students

This page can be used to access the placement grades of students in a class. Educators can modify the placement if needed. The third-party information is provided on the page, as well.
