Instruction Guide

Helpful Tips for File Uploads
Student IDs
– Consistently use the same student IDs throughout all rosters and assessment files.
Rosters
– Ensure student rosters do not contain multiple records for individual students.
– If your district would like to see student information disaggregated by any demographic or program beyond provided state designations, you may provide a program roster to ECRA for upload.
Assessment Files
– Downloading raw data files directly from a publisher’s website in a standard format is preferred (see ECRA’s Data Export Guides for instructions). If you are comfortable providing ECRA with login information, we will download the files for you.
– For aimswebPlus only: If your aimswebPlus data files do not contain state or local student IDs, please provide ECRA with a roster file containing the aimswebPlus ID and local/student IDs for each student. This allows ECRA to link aimswebPlus scores to other assessments.
