Creating a New Student Inventory Type

The Student Inventory system allows districts to construct the structure and criteria necessary to collect specific inventory data for inventories such as TPRI, DRA, DRA2, TEMI, DIBELS, Fountas & Pinnell, etc. Users with the Create Student Inventory Tests right can create and edit student inventory types.

Note: New student inventory types will not appear in the inventory table until the following have occurred: 1) All settings for the student inventory type have been completed including a Title, Subject, Language, Terms, and at least one Score Level. 2) A user has created a Student Inventory Assessment that is associated with the new Student Inventory Type.

New student inventory types that are incomplete or that do not have a student inventory assessment associated with it can be found in Configure Student Inventory Types within the Assessments Settings gear.
