For those in need of support for AASCD administration go to the Teacher and Test Administrator site. All new test administrators must have TIDE accounts and take the training course to earn a certificate. 

We encourage all districts and staff involved in the administration of the AASCD to review all the resources in the portal. 

All information on AASCD can be found on the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce website. If your district has specific questions that need clarification please email Marcia Watts at [email protected].
