How Students Take the mySAEBRS Assessment

  • Updated

When a student logs in to Renaissance, they will see a mySAEBRS tile on their home page:

The mySAEBRS tile.

The student can select the tile to begin taking the mySAEBRS assessment.

If the student selects the tile outside of the district screening window, a pop-up message will appear: 
The message reads: You can't answer the mySAEBRS questions right now. For Teachers: Your school is not in a current screening window.

A student can only take one assessment during a screening window—if the student has already taken the assessment in the current screening window, a pop-up reminder will appear:
The message reads: mySAEBRS Unavailable. You have already answered the mySAEBRS questions this screening period.

If a student is assigned to more than one class where they can take a mySAEBRS assessment, they will see a pop-up window where they need to select the class they are in:

The Select a Class pop-up window, showing three classes a student is enrolled in that can administer the mySAEBRS assessment. The Cancel and Next buttons are at the bottom.

Note: Students enrolled in more than one school will not need to take separate mySAEBRS assessments for each school. The results of a mySAEBRS assessment that a student takes within a district screening window will follow that student no matter which school they are in.

  1. After the student selects the mySAEBRS tile, a welcome message appears. The student should select Start Assessment to begin the assessment, or Return to Homepage if they want to leave this page without starting the assessment.
    The landing page for the student's mySAEBRS assessment. The Start button and Return to Home Page link are in the middle of the page. The language toggle is in the upper-left corner. The Play Audio button is in the upper-right corner.

    On any page, the student can select Play Audio in the upper-right corner to hear the assessment options read out loud (the student should wear headphones to avoid disturbing other students).

    Students can also use the English | Español toggle in the upper-left corner to switch the language of the assessment between English and Spanish. Students have to make this choice before beginning the assessment—once it has begun, they cannot change the language again. The questions are the same in both languages.
    The starting page for the student assessment, with Spanish language toggled on.

  2. For each question on the mySAEBRS assessment, the student will be shown a statement. The student should select how often the statement is true: Never, Sometimes, Often, or Almost Always.

    An example assessment question, with four options for the student to choose from.
    • The student selects an answer by clicking on it (mouse), tapping on it (tablet), or using the Tab key to highlight an answer and then selecting Enter (keyboard).
    • The student can change their answer before entering it.
    • Once the student has chosen the answer they want, they enter it by selecting Next.
      The 'Never' option has been selected; the Next button is at the bottom of the screen.

      A student cannot go back to a prior question.

      If the student needs to stop taking the assessment, they can select Exit in the upper-right corner next to the question number.

      The Exit button in the upper-right corner.
      This will end the assessment without saving any of the student's responses. The student can still take the assessment, but they will have to start over again from the beginning.

  3. The student will see a congratulatory message after entering the answer to the last question; they should select Finish to complete the assessment.
    The message reads, 'Good Job! You finished' The Finish button is at the bottom.
