What is the PNP?

• An Access Profile (also known as Personal Needs and Preferences or Personal Needs Profile (PNP)) is the part of a student’s record that controls some of the types of tools and accommodations that will be available when the student takes a test.

p. 3.27

• Roles with permission to set PNP—“Teacher”—“District Test Coordinator”—“District User”—“Building Test Coordinator”—“Building User”

Who can set the PNP?

NOTE: A local or district policy determines if PNP is set by the teacher or by a district level user. In the system today, all teachers have access to setting the PNP for their rostered students. Policy direction on the PNP will come form EED and the Participation Guide.

District Test Coordinators’ Perspective

• Test Management (sub-Test Management)

• “Exit”—to remove a student from Educator Portal when

a student moves out of the district.

• “Test”—to assign a student to a summative assessment

by subject.

• “Clear”—to unassign a student from a summative

assessment while keeping the student’s enrollment record intact.

NOTE: Documentation at akassessments.org has appendices that are Alaska-specific at the bottom of the EP Manual list
