NWEA Administrator Guide
Overview: Roles and Permissions
Account Administrator
The Account Administrator is the main contact within a school or district for Edmentum’s
Exact Path implementation. The staff member in this role understands the organization’s
implementation goals and oversees activities related to the implementation process.
Anyone with an Account Administrator role will have access to all student data.
The Account Administrator performs the following tasks:
Clearly articulate the expectations for instructors in their online teaching roles
Analyze and interpret student data
Schedule and manage Academic Years
Import NWEA assessment data
Understand school policies that determine which students are appropriate to enroll in
Edmentum’s Exact Path
Support instructors and students with the administrative and orientation requirements
for technology
Ensure that instructors receive appropriate training to do their job effectively
Program Administrator
The Program Administrator can perform the same functions as the Account Administrator
and can serve as a secondary administrator for the Account Administrator. For example, a
lead teacher could be a Program Administrator for his or her subject area.
The only difference between a Program Administrator and an Account Administrator is that
a Program Administrator is restricted to viewing student data for students who share the
Program Administrator’s location(s). Account Administrators can view data for all students
regardless of location.
Instructor
Instructors can perform the following tasks:
Fully manage their classes
Facilitate and monitor student learning
Create classes and groups
Learner
Learners engage with the program by working in their personalized learning paths, which
include tailored content designed to keep them learning and growing.

Designating User Roles
It is important to decide which user roles work best for educators at your school or school
district. Any person who has access to an administrator role can create and manage users
and adjust your school’s program. Those that are listed as instructors can create classes and
groups. Any educator who needs to have access to a specific school’s data (rather than the
entire account) might serve best as a program administrator. On the other hand, someone
who needs to manage the entire program for a school or school district may serve better as
an account administrator. The chart below breaks down each user’s responsibilities.

7. Use this interactive guide to ensure your NWEA import file uses the correct test and goal
names and the appropriate RIT scores. See the Troubleshooting tab or the NWEA
Troubleshooting Tips section below to find tips for correcting your file if you encounter
upload errors.
NWEA Troubleshooting Tips
If you run into the following issues, you may need to make corrections to your NWEA file:
The NWEA import only creates learning paths for some students
The NWEA import creates fewer learning paths than expected
The NWEA import creates no learning paths
Use these troubleshooting tips to correct issues with the import file:
IMPORTANT: If some students have begun working on their learning paths from an earlier
import, re-importing those students will reset their learning paths, causing data to be lost. To
avoid losing data when re-importing, be sure to remove any entries from the spreadsheet for
students who have begun working on their learning paths.

Editing a student’s learning path placement allows you to adjust the student’s learning path
grade level in one or more domains. You may want to do this if you see a student struggling
with a skill and believe he or she would be more appropriately placed at a lower grade level.
On the other hand, you can also do this to challenge students who would be better placed at
a higher grade level.
Editing a student’s learning path placement deletes any previous work the student has
completed in the skills or domains you edit.
1. Select the subject you want to edit.

Create a Learning Path
While the best way to provide a learning path for a student is by having them take the
diagnostic, we provide you with a way to allow students to start working in Exact Path
without taking the diagnostic.
Note: This feature is only available for students who have not yet taken a diagnostic for the
current subject and testing window. If a student has a diagnostic currently scheduled, you will not
be able to create a learning path for that student.
1. Select a subject.
2. Click Learning Paths.
3. Select a class from the drop-down menu.

Create Groups
The Groups feature is a planning tool which allows you to create learner groups while viewing
relevant learning path data. This data helps guide instructors when forming groups for class or
out-of-class time. Both administrators and instructors can use this tool to divide students into
groups based on their skill level for intervention programs or small-group activities.
Note: To create groups in a class, you must be listed as an instructor for the class. See Edit a Class to
add yourself as an instructor for a class.
1. Click My Classes.
2. Click Groups.
3. Select a subject.
Note: Groups are subject-specific. You must create separate groups for each subject.
4. Using the drop-down menus, select the domain and skill you want to use to group your
students.
