The pilot period for an individual child is limited to a 2-week period. Children must complete tiles within 2 weeks, starting from the date that their first tile is commenced. The system will automatically close the assessment off after the 2-week period has elapsed for a child.
- When you are logged into your account, go to the Home page. Here you will find a link to access the POM National Tool to assess your participating children who your site leader has added to the account.
- From the Home page of the POM National Tool, select Assessment from the top navigation bar.
- From the Assessment page, scroll down to view the list of participating children.
From the Children list, search for and select the children you wish to assess by ticking the check boxes next to their names and select Create group assessment.
If the child you are looking for is not in the list, check with your site leader as they may not have added them to the system yet.
Note: only site leaders can add or edit child information.
- On the selected children’s assessment page, you will be shown a list of tiles with information such as title, type of assessment (e.g. one-on-one), description and associated subdomain and strand.
You can choose which tile to begin with for the selected children by selecting Start.
The first page of the tile will have informational text about what the teachers and educators can expect, including what skills will be assessed, the approximate length of time required, and any materials you need to prepare.
If for any reason you must pause the tile or the child or children no longer want to continue, you can exit out of the screen, and the progress of that tile will be saved for the next time you log in. Note that you can only start one tile at a time. If you must pause a tile, you cannot start another tile until you finish the paused tile.
You can ‘quick scroll’ to each child’s section by selecting their name at the top of the page to enter your response data for each child.
Once the tile is complete, you will see a Group assessment completed page where you can select Finish.
