In a School Admin Account, subject tabs can be created that will appear as blue tabs on the Home Screen of every teacher in your school. The School Admin adds specific tests to the tabs so every teacher is administering the same tests to all students in the school. School Managed Subject Tabs can be created directly from the Home Screen or from Test Explorer. Step-by-step instructions are provided below the video.
