California Educator Reporting System Resources
The California Educator Reporting System (CERS) allows teachers and administrators to access their students' individual and aggregate test results from state summative and interim assessments. To access CERS, educators must use their assigned Test Operations Management System (TOMS) credentials.
The CERS Sandbox is a training tool intended to help local educational agency (LEA) staff learn about the features and functions of CERS in a non-secure environment. It offers users virtually the same functions as the reporting system but uses practice test items and fictitious student data.
