Introduction to TPMS
Agenda• Steps for Examinees – MYPSC Registration
• Steps for Providers–Accessing TPMS–Available Documents–Adding New Student Records–Granting Eligibility to Test–Updating Student Records
• Questions & Contact Information
• “Traditional Program Management System”
• A general purpose data collection system• A means of granting eligibility to take
GACE assessments• A source of data for business processes
such as the issuance of certificates• A source of data for multiple reporting
purposes (e.g. PAAR, Title II)
What is TPMS?
Why Does TPMS Mention “Title II Codes”?
Any use of the phrase “Title II Codes” in TPMS is due to the parentage of TPMS.
We will remove references to “Title II” over time.
TPMS is a general-purpose data management system useful for…– Program Approval– Preparation Program Effectiveness Measures– Title II Reporting– CAEP
Remember…
• TPMS is the KEY to granting GACE eligibility.• But TPMS will be used for more than granting
GACE eligibility.
