Only teachers who are included in at least one Teacher Team can create Team Tests. Reference Options for Creating Assessments to learn what assessments are available for creation.
Note: District and campus assessments cannot be shared with a team or copied into a teacher test. Only team tests can be copied into a teacher test, and then the teacher test can be copied into a campus- or district-level assessment.
Caution: Once a Teacher Test is converted into a Team Test, it is no longer a Teacher Test. Teachers who wish to keep versions of Teacher Tests should make a copy of the existing assessment and convert only that copy.

Note: Only select a test type that your district or campus has agreed should be used for Team Tests. Some districts include test types with names like "District Benchmarks" that are meant to be used for other types of assessments. Aware district managers can configure test types to assist with this process.
Step 6: If you want to use the performance levels associated with the test type you selected, select the Use Performance Levels from the new Test Type checkbox, or leave the box blank to preserve the existing performance levels from the original test type.
