Project Title: EISS Reporting System
Project Description: California Testing Bureau is the business of "helping
the teacher helps the child". The test content of the reports reflects
national standards derived from the curriculum guides, teachers groups and
state framework. After the answers sheets come from the customer, they are
scanned and raw scores are updated into the EISS tables through the
WinBridge process. After bridge, DSP uploads a few more tables with the
derived scores of the students. Lastly Summary uploads a few more tables
with school, district or state level summaries as required in the contract.
When all these EISS tables have been populated, the report modules read
from the tables and produce the reports.
