The TN DOE assessment team, including our psychometricians, have reviewed the technical specifications for these assessments. The validity and reliability of the computer adaptive assessments are equal to, if not better than, the previous linear versions. We have no current concerns about the accuracy of this test and the data it produces. Utilizing the same test across districts allows us to have confidence in the comparisons and reporting across the state. If you have a specific technical question on the assessments, please connect with a member of our assessment team tn.universalscreener@tn.gov, who can discuss in more detail.

4. Tennessee Universal Reading Screener Data Requirements
Thank you for selecting aimsweb™Plus as your reading screener. As part of the requirements under the Literacy Success Act, student data must be submitted to the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) within two weeks of the conclusion of the screening window (fall, winter, spring, and summer). aimswebPlus will submit this data on your behalf in the TDOE-required file layout.
To comply with the Literacy Success Act, there are three (3) data elements that must be entered into aimswebPlus by each district so the data can then be provided to TDOE at the conclusion of each screener window. All three (3) of the fields listed below must be the state-assigned values, not a locally assigned value.
- District Code
- School Code
- State Student ID
For assistance in uploading data to aimswebPlus, please call 866-313-6194, option 2 or email aimswebsupport@pearson.com.
