[District-level administrators](/v1/docs/using-ai-scoring-administrator) with the Create Local Assessment Tests right can set AI Scoring access permissions at the district, test type, test, and question levels. Then, [test authors](/v1/docs/using-ai-scoring-teacher) can score constructed response answers against a pre-set rubric. For more information, visit the [AI Scoring FAQ](/v1/docs/ai-scoring-faq). - We’ve [updated the student supports template CSV file](/v1/docs/managing-student-supports-for-online-testing#illustrated-guide) to include new subjects that users can assign student supports to. Users can also locate and assign student supports to these new subjects on the Student Profile and when using the [Manage Student Supports table](/v1/docs/managing-student-supports-for-online-testing#using-the-manage-student-supports-table) from Students Settings. - To [use Speech-to-Text on Chromebooks while employing LockDown Browser](/v1/docs/lockdown-browser-activating-speech-to-text), you can now turn on microphone permissions either across your district using Google Admin Console (recommended) or on individual student devices. - The new[Custom Item Banks](/v1/docs/manage-custom-banks) feature allows Item Bank Administrators to add, edit, and delete custom item banks for their Aware Premium district. - Test authors can now [select up to two calculators](/v1/docs/selecting-a-calculator-for-online-testing) to use in an assessment, with a limit of one calculator per vendor (one TI calculator and one Desmos calculator). - We’ve added the Test Administration setting, [Disable access to Enter Answers](/v1/docs/test-administration-settings#disabling-enter-answers). This setting prevents teachers from viewing or previewing any item on an assessment through the feature, enhancing security in situations such as Teacher Incentive Allotment requirements. ### Beacon - [My Planners](/v1/docs/planner) has a new look and feel! The new landing page displays all of your preps, organized by year. Select a prep from the current school year, or expand the prior-year containers to view older preps. With this new layout, you can even apply a color and a pattern to your prep to make it easier to identify in the list. The planner for each prep includes a refreshed toolbar as well as a drop-down menu that allows you to switch between preps without returning to the landing page. - The [Shared with Me](/v1/docs/shared-with-me) screen allows you to view and access planners that have been shared with you by other Beacon users. - The new [Staff Search](/v1/docs/staff-search) feature allows administrators to view all Beacon users at their school or district by school, name, or email address. Selecting a staff member from the list opens their planners. - You can now copy plans from the previous school year. See [Copying a Prior Year Plan](/v1/docs/copying-a-prior-year-plan) to learn how you can reuse successful lesson plans year-to-year. ## Bug Fixes ### Aware #### Assessments - **Test authors cannot change assessments with entries or those with active or archived statuses to be AI Scored.** Preventing this change helps preserve score ranges and data integrity. #### Data Analysis - **We’ve addressed a discrepancy between Single Test Analysis, Quick Views, and the Student Construction Response Report.** Percentages should match between them for students who scored 0 or were unscored. #### lead4ward - **We have fixed an issue displaying incorrect text for certain standards in lead4ward.** Data has not been affected by either the text issue or its solution. #### Online Testing - **We’ve updated the STAAR version of the Desmos Graphing Calculator.** This version now matches the Texas STAAR Desmos version, ensuring student answers are marked correct after following the expected mathematical steps. ### Strive #### Evaluation Process - **We have addressed an API error appearing on the Overview and Activity Tracker screens.** Overdue, at-risk, and on-track activities now populate as expected. #### Reports - **The Custom TIA Report now shows percentages correctly for Met Growth and Exceeded Expected Growth.** The percentages in the report match those entered in Manage Student Growth.
