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
What is TPMS? • “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)
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
TPMS “Take-home” Message Remember… • TPMS is the KEY to granting GACE eligibility. • But TPMS will be used for more than granting GACE eligibility.
