TestHound Integration

Testhound is a popular application used by districts for testing coordination. This integration allows districts to automatically transfer testing and accommodation information from SameGoal into TestHound.

• Setup
• Information included
• Year one

Setup link

At district request, SameGoal will enable a secure nightly CSV-based feed to TestHound. Once this feed is established, a testing coordinator will need to create a new mapping in TestHound for SameGoal.

Information included link

The integration testing information extracted from the following forms:

• Individualized Education Program
  • Assessment required
  • Accommodations
• Section 504 Plan
  • Assessment required
  • Accommodations

The data included in the integration can be found by visiting Reports > Testing Coordination > TestHound.

Year one link

When your district switches to SameGoal, any existing accommodations sent to TestHound from your previous system will remain unaffected in TestHound until you add accommodations in SameGoal (by creating a new plan document or amending a stub document).

Do not update accommodations in SameGoal unless:

• New accommodations are being added
• Existing accommodations are being updated or removed
• All accommodations are being updated (such as with an annual plan review)

When amending a stub document in SameGoal to update accommodations, include ALL current accommodations, not just the ones that are changing. Once you add accommodations in SameGoal, they will be sent to TestHound and replace the accommodations set by your previous system. If you only add the accommodations that are changing, only those accommodations will appear in TestHound.
