The Most Adopted Assessment Coordination Tool

I just wanted to share a testimonial of just how much better TestHound made this week for us. Our JH CTC had a medical emergency this weekend and was not able to be here all week. (She will actually be out for the remainder of the year.) While she had everything ready for Monday and Tuesday, we still had plenty to do, as you know. Two of our other CTCs and I got together and figured everything out. If we didn't have TestHound, this process would have been so much more difficult. We were able to go straight to TestHound for accommodations, prior results, test forms, inventory, and just about anything else we needed to help us. As a matter of fact, because of the time saved with TestHound, we have everything boxed up and about ready to be shipped off. It has been a busy week no doubt, but there were so many positives...the campus and district support, me getting to experience being in a CTC position since I hadn't previously, and last, but certainly not least...TestHound!

I saw TestHound Auto Pilot about three years ago at the testing conference. I was in love and begged the district to buy it, as I was doing all my accommodations by cutting and pasting spreadsheets. I was in a perpetual state of fear that I would lose an accommodation or student in all the cutting and pasting. I could not do testing without TestHound. It has truly revolutionized testing for me and made so many tasks quicker and easier than they ever were before.

Reducing errors and giving students and teachers the most comfortable and correct testing experience is very important to me. Testing should just be another day in a student and teacher's life and TestHound helps us to accomplish that goal.

With TestHound, we now have consistency across the district. TestHound helps new testing coordinators know exactly how to set up testing in a user friendly environment even if they are not “technologically savvy."

I wouldn't be a DTC without TestHound! In DeSoto ISD, EAGLES SOAR through testing with TestHound.

TestHound was designed by educators who truly understand the demands of statewide testing. Therefore, it makes all DTC's and CTC's work more efficient and not harder.

Even my most reluctant CTCs have now come on board with TestHound, love it and won’t go back to their old way of doing things. It is a timesaver.

I think the biggest challenge facing most districts is the amount of time it takes to prepare for an assessment without a great tool like TestHound. The time TestHound saves CTCs is extraordinary. All the things that used to have to be done by hand can now be done by the TestHound system.

TestHound staff are always responsive to our needs in a timely manner. The customer service is top notch.

Before using TestHound, our district had a very high occurrence of test irregularities caused by the distribution of incorrect accommodations/test versions. TestHound has helped with this problem by becoming our CTC’s one-stop shop for accommodation information.

Implementing TestHound initially was a paradigm shift, but it is actually very easy to use and no one gives it a second thought now!

Just wanted to tell you how we love the accommodations toolkit! For the first time in 10 years, we did not have any irregularities with accommodations!

Alief ISD chose TestHound because they were the only program that had the functionality that our district required to help our campuses be successful during each test administration at the local, state, and federal level. As with any new program implementation, there is always a certain level of concern with staff “buy in” or the newness of the program itself. Lara’s trainings made our staff feel comfortable and excited to start our new journey and now almost a year into having TestHound, we could not be any happier that we made the decision to go with TestHound for our various testing needs.

I just gave the December EOC. TestHound made everything so easy! I love that I can scan my books to the box as they come in and it lets me know how many are still out. And when that number matches my absences - it's perfect! Being able to box up the used books at the end of the day is fantastic. I also love the reports. All my test administrators thought the combined test material control form and seating chart was great. Not having to sign so many pieces of paper first thing in the morning and after a long day of testing was wonderful for them! I can't wait for the other campuses to find out how much easier managing the tests will be. Thanks, TestHound, for such a great product!

TestHound has allowed our campus administrators to focus on students, student learning, and instruction in the classroom instead of focusing on the administrative tasks associated with testing. The amount of time our campus administrators and counselors have gained back as a result of using TestHound is astonishing.

I have already talked to other districts that do not use Test Hound and I tell them it is a life changer. TestHound makes inventory and testing so much easier and more accurate! I could not do without it!

The price we pay for TestHound is worth every penny given the value and benefits to our testing coordinators and even our students. I think I might have to resign if they told me that I wasn't going to have TestHound! I truly wouldn't want to do my job without it.

TestHound puts all of our data into a user-friendly framework so we don’t lose track of critical student information. I would take another job before I would do this job without TestHound. It would be like going backwards – like having an iPhone and then going back to a rotary phone.

TestHound is the best investment you could ever make to help reduce the workload and stress levels of your testing teams from district to campus level.

The process that TestHound created saved our district hours upon hours of work. I would make budget cuts elsewhere to keep TestHound in my district. It frees up our testing coordinators so their time can be spent on what matters most, our students.
