Illuminate is a powerful assessment tool that allows for a variety of ways to test students online as well as via paper and pencil. We use Illuminate to administer the district benchmarks, and you can use it for all sorts of formative, interim and summative testing in your classroom, too.
Teachers log into Illuminate at: https://tooeleschools.illuminateed.com
Login= your f number
Password= your last name, until you reset it.
Students log into Illuminate at: https://tooeleschools.illuminatehc.com
There should be an icon on the computers’ desktops that will take them to this site, though.

If they have never logged in, password = welcome
After initially logging in, they are forced to change their password.
A. We ask that you instruct students to change the password to stu + their lunch number (ie stu12345)
B. If neither of these passwords work, we can reset student passwords back to welcome.
This video walks teachers through how to test online using Illuminate, including a look at what the student experience looks like. I’ve already taken care of a lot of what’s covered in the beginning of the video for benchmark testing; fast forward to 1:35 for the good stuff.
This video goes into more detail on what tools are available to you online while you proctor an online assessment.
After your students are done with the benchmark or any other assessment, the response frequency report is a great tool to debrief with your students as well as with your PLC. Learn more about it here.
The Matrix report is a great tool for looking at students’ performance on your own or with your PLC. You can learn more about the matrix report here.
In addition to the resources given here, there's more to learn from Illuminate's own help and training site.
Finally, if there is anything else you need in order to make use of Illuminate or to incorporate more data driven instruction into you pedagogy, please contact Justin Rasmussen.
