9. EOCT Overview 11/17/20159

10. The purpose of the EOCT is to assess student achievement of the state adopted curriculum in core courses and to provide diagnostic data in support of improved student achievement. The EOCT serves as a component in Georgia’s College & Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI). Purpose

11. EOCT Assessments Ninth Grade Literature and Composition American Literature and Composition Biology Physical Science U. S. History Economics/Business/Free Enterprise GPS Algebra GPS Geometry Mathematics I: Algebra/Geometry/Statistics Mathematics II: Geometry/Algebra II/Statistics CCGPS Coordinate Algebra

12. EOCT Assessments Each test booklet is divided into two sections. Students may complete Sections I and II in day one or Section I in day one and Section II in day two. Students may not complete a portion of a section and then complete the remainder of the section later in the day or the next day. This will result in an invalidation of the test. – For example, if a student becomes ill during Section I and does not complete that section, the student may not complete the remainder of the Section I upon return to school.

14. Administration Windows Main administrations: Winter 2012 Spring 2013 Summer 2013 Mid-months: Spring 2013- January, February and March Fall 2013 - August, September, October and November Retest Administrations: Winter Retest Administration will coincide with the Spring Mid-month administrations.

15. Testing Modes End-of-Course Tests may be administered via paper and pencil or online. – Paper/ pencil assessments available during the winter, spring and summer administrations. – Online assessments are available for all administrations (including retest administrations).

16. Calculators are allowed to be used on the following EOCTs: – CCGPS Coordinate Algebra – GPS Algebra/GPS Geometry – Mathematics I/Mathematics II – Physical Science – Economics Calculators that store text or graphing calculators cannot be used. – Examiners should verify appropriate calculator use prior to the beginning of testing. Electronic testing format provides “4-function” calculators. – Students are allowed to use their own calculators when testing online. Use of Calculators

17. Scheduling Considerations Diligent attention must be given to the development of a schedule that protects the security and integrity of the test administration. EOCT may be scheduled at any time during the state testing window. – Systems may elect a one-day or a two-day administration; however, all schools in the system must follow the same schedule as closely as possible. – Individual subject areas must be administered on the same or consecutive days within the system. – At no time should some students complete a test one week and another group of students complete the same test the following week. – For scheduling examples, please refer to Page 66 of the Student Assessment Handbook. * Allowing flexibility in the scheduling of the EOCT, to meet the variety of school schedules that exist, is dependent upon everyone involved in the administration protecting the integrity of the program.

18. Scheduling Considerations Schools must adhere to the testing times prescribed in the Examiner’s Manuals. – Total administration time for the tests is 90-120 minutes. – Additional time is required for disseminating materials, completing forms, and other test protocols. – Allowing too much or too little time may result in an invalidation. When scheduling tests, consider the optimum time to administer the tests. – Consider logistics, including time and staffing. – During one-day test administrations, lunch should not serve as the break between sections I and II. To do so, would allow for potential breaches of test security.

19. Scheduling Considerations – Test Make-ups The purpose of the make-up days is to administer the tests to students who are unexpectedly absent during the regularly scheduled administration. – Include sick days, verified court dates, etc. – Does not include personal vacations, school field trips. – When in doubt, contact GaDOE. Make-ups must only be administered during the district’s window – Permission to test outside district window will only be considered in rare, case-by-case circumstances and must be pre-approved by GaDOE.

20. Students To Be Tested Any student, regardless of grade-level, enrolled in an EOCT course must take the appropriate EOCT. – For example, if a student is taking a course to complete the state requirement for Mathematics I, that student must take the Mathematics I EOCT, regardless of the course title assigned by the local system.

21. Students To Be Tested Students who are: – taking a block-scheduled course who complete the full year course in one semester will be tested at the end of that semester. – following a traditionally scheduled (36-week) course will be tested at the end of the second semester of the course. – completing a course at the end of one semester (typically Economics) will be tested at the completion of the course.

22. Students To Be Tested Students enrolled (or dually enrolled) in: – alternative schools. – credit recovery or “make-up” courses. – college courses, online courses, or correspondence classes and are receiving credit towards graduation for an EOCT course. Note: High schools are responsible for determining that post- secondary courses meet the criteria for dual enrollment. Scores will be counted as follows: 1)The college instructor must issue a numeric grade for the student. A letter grade may also be issued, but the high school must receive a numeric score for the course. 2)For high school credit, the course grade will be determined using the State Board approved calculation.

23. Students To Be Tested Middle School students enrolled in an EOCT course, whether or not they receive HS credit for the class. – These students are also required to take the appropriate CRCT. Students with disabilities and English Learners (EL) who are enrolled in EOCT courses for credit. – Students who receive accommodations for instructional and classroom assessment purposes may also be eligible for accommodations during the administration of End-of-Course Tests. – Accommodations provided for statewide assessment must be listed on IEP, IAP, or EL TPC and should be consistent with the student’s instructional program.

24. Students enrolled in your system who are also enrolled in EOCT courses via Georgia Virtual School (GAVS) – Must be administered the appropriate EOCT at their home school. – It is the school test coordinator’s responsibility to ensure that these students’ answer documents are coded accurately (“30” under SDU A) so that results may be reported to GAVS. – Documents not coded to reflect students enrollment with GAVS could delay or interfere with student grade reports. Students To Be Tested

25. Students enrolling from non-accredited programs. – Must take and pass the EOCT with a minimum of 70 grade conversion score to receive credit for the course. – It is the responsibility of the local school system to determine whether criteria are met for awarding credit.

26. Students NOT To Be Tested Students who wish to transfer credit in an EOCT course completed at an accredited institution. – Note: Students who enroll in coursework at another accredited institution while also enrolled in a public school are considered “dually enrolled.” Students who have previously taken an EOCT course, took the accompanying EOCT and received core credit for the course. – For example, if a student is completing an EOCT course as an “elective”, the student would not be required to take the EOCT. The student is required to take the EOCT when they take and complete the course for “core” credit. – If you have questions in such circumstances, please contact GaDOE Assessment.

27. Accommodations Students who receive accommodations for instructional and classroom assessment purposes may also be eligible for accommodations during testing. – Accommodations provided for statewide assessment must be listed on IEP, IAP, or EL TPC and should be consistent with the student’s instructional program. To avoid an irregularity, please ensure that students who should receive accommodations are properly identified prior to testing.

28. Only approved accommodations may be used. – Please refer to the Accommodations Manual and the Student Assessment Handbook. Use of accommodations not on the list must be approved in advance by Melissa Fincher, Associate Superintendent for Assessment and Accountability. – Four to six weeks should be allowed for these requests to be reviewed. Accommodations

29. What percentage of a student’s course grade does an EOCT comprise? Cohort 1 Students who enter grade 9 for the first time in SY2011 -2012 or after EOCT counts as 20% of course grade Cohort 2 Students who entered grade 9 for the first time between July 2008 and June 2011 EOCT counts as 15% of course grade The percentages for these two cohorts are defined by State Board of Education rule 160-4-2-.13 (STATEWIDE PASSING SCORE)

30. Grading Students must earn a 70 or higher final course grade to pass the course and earn credit for graduation. If your school awards 1.0 credit upon completion of a year long course, the EOCT should count as either 15% or 20% that final grade. If your school awards 0.5 credit at the end of the first semester, and 0.5 credit at the end of the second semester, the EOCT should count as either 15% or 20% of the final second semester course grade.

31. Grading If a student is not present for an EOCT administration (main or mid- month), the system may issue an Incomplete and allow the student to test during a future testing window (main or mid-month). – This Incomplete may remain as the student’s course grade until their testing requirement is fulfilled. If, after attempts have been made to have the student test in a future window, the student does not take the EOCT, the course grade shall reflect that the student did not participate in the test. – The system may issue a zero as 15% or 20% (dependent upon date first enrolled in grade nine) of the final course grade. – There should be sufficient documentation to indicate the student was notified of testing opportunities and did not participate. The EOCT is Georgia's assessment utilized for federal high school accountability. As a result, systems must provide for the participation of all students in completion of an EOCT course.

32. Security Maintaining test security and test integrity is critical. All EOCT must be administered and supervised by a Georgia-certified educator. Everyone involved in the testing process must be properly trained and informed of their roles and responsibilities for test security. – Attendance at training must be mandatory and well-documented. – Untrained examiners must not be allowed to test. Students and teachers need to understand test protocols and the ramifications of not following testing procedures. The school principal must be made aware of any issues involving testing or test security. Violations may result in invalidation of students’ tests and/or referral to the Professional Standards Commission for disciplinary action.

33. Security Student Test Booklets must be kept stored in a secure place accessible only by the principal and the test coordinator at all times. Test materials must not be removed from their secure storage location for reasons other than the preparation of materials for testing, actual test administration, and the completion of tasks as prescribed by test manuals. Shrink-wrapped packages must remain sealed until Test Coordinators are ready to prepare test materials for administration. Distribute testing materials as close to the actual testing time as possible. Testing materials should only be issued to persons who have been carefully advised of their responsibilities for test security. – Only staff members who have been trained on the proper management of secure test materials should handle such materials.

34. Security All persons receiving testing materials must sign a checkout sheet when they receive the materials. This sheet should show date and time. All testing materials issued to persons administering tests must be counted carefully when given out and when returned. – If a problem occurs, School Test Coordinator should be notified immediately. Test Coordinators and/or Examiners should keep a record of all students tested for each EOCT administration. In addition to student’s name and EOCT administered, please remember to include form numbers for each student in your documentation. Please be sure to keep copies of these records.

35. Security Students must write their names on the cover of their test booklet and any scratch paper. Please follow all instructions in the test manuals exactly. – Do not add anything to, or delete anything from, the directions in the test manual. This violates standardized test conditions and may invalidate scores. All testing materials must be collected and returned immediately after the testing session. – Please be reminded that Student Authorization Tickets and used scratch paper are considered secured materials and must be handled as such. – Examiners are responsible for turning them in and coordinators are responsible for verifying that they do. For additional security information, please refer to pages 35-37 of the Student Assessment Handbook.

36. Security - Examiner Training Documentation of attendance at the district and building level (include agenda and materials used). Ensure examiners have an opportunity to review examiner manual prior to testing date (in a secure environment). – Updated manuals have also beeen posted on the GaDOE (EOCT) website. Examiners should be clear on logistical procedures in place for security of materials.

37. Testing Irregularities All personnel in the local system must follow protocol as they become aware of testing irregularities. Signs of any testing irregularity must be dealt with immediately. – Test Examiner > School Test Coordinator > System Test Coordinator > Melissa Faux The school principal must also be made aware of any instances of a testing irregularity. Reports of testing irregularities from persons other than the STC (or their designee), will be referred to the STC to ensure proper reporting protocols are followed. Please do not include identifiable student information such as, social security numbers, GTID, or FTE numbers in emails sent to GaDOE.

38. Testing Irregularities All irregularities must be coded, documentation completed and submitted on the Testing Irregularity Form in the MyGaDOE Portal. When entering the documentation into the portal, please: – Select the appropriate “Administration Cycle” - Winter 2012. – Select the appropriate “Administration” - EOCT Main. – Include the form number of the test that needs to be coded as an Irregularity or Invalidation. Failure to include the form number when completing the Testing Irregularity Form will result in delayed and/or inaccurate reporting of scores.

39. Testing Irregularities When entering the documentation into the portal, please: – Clearly indicate if a score should be invalidated, or counted as an irregularity. If tests needs to be invalidated, please select from drop down menu the reason for invalidation. – Described in detail the circumstances surrounding the reason for invalidating the test.

40. Testing Irregularities In addition to entering irregularities into the portal, once IRR, or INV codes are received, you MUST: Grid and bubble student answer documents (if the test was administered via paper/pencil) OR Enter code into PearsonAccess (if the test was administered online) Once received, IR codes can be used on all future irregularities but documentation must be entered into the portal. Only the GaDOE may invalidate assessments.

41. Testing Irregularities - Paper On answer documents, you must: – Fill-in the appropriate irregularity or invalidation bubble. – Grid the 5-digit SDU B code. – Failure to grid both the correct SDU-B code and fill-in the correct corresponding bubble will result in the delayed and/or inaccurate reporting of scores.

50. Testing Irregularities Some examples of irregularities: Sickness during testing administration – Student gets sick prior to starting the test Upon return to school student will complete the test in its entirety and test is scored as is; does not require portal entry If testing online, please do not “submit” the student’s answers – Student gets sick after having completed Section I but before starting Section II Upon return to school student will complete Section II of the test and test is coded as an irregularity; requires portal entry – Student gets sick while testing in either Section I or II Test scores are invalidated by GaDOE; requires portal entry

51. Testing Irregularities Some examples of irregularities: Accommodations – Students given the wrong accommodation or not given their accommodation Test scores may be invalidated by GaDOE Necessitates parental contact by school or system Requires portal entry – Students refuse their accommodation School or system notifies parent (prior to the beginning of testing if at all possible) Test scores are coded as an irregularity; requires portal entry Please fill in the Accommodations code on student answer document or on PearsonAccess since the school attempted to provide the accommodation (See next slide)

52. Student Answer Document PearsonAccess Select ‘Yes’ by using the drop down options for a possible selection for each accommodation.

53. Testing Irregularities Some examples of irregularities: Testing the wrong student or subject area – Students given the wrong EOCT Test scores are invalidated by GaDOE; please document in the portal – Students testing under wrong GTID Contact GaDOE as soon as possible – Much easier to fix during the administration or within the first 48 hours after the close of the administration

54. Tips to Avoid Testing Irregularities Adhere to test security policies, protocols and procedures. Reinforce the use of active monitoring in testing environments. Immediately report any possible testing irregularities. Properly identify all students who should receive accommodations prior to testing. Students IEP/IAP/TPC plans should be regularly reviewed to determine if accommodations are still appropriate or needed. If a student is suspected of cheating but there is no proof of his or her action, allow the student to complete the section and/or entire test. – An invalidation can always occur after all of the facts are collected. Have a plan in place to quickly secure testing environments and/or materials in the event of an evacuation during a testing administration.

55. Tips to Avoid Testing Irregularities For Online Testing Please use the system readiness tools to monitor the district’s network infrastructure and capability prior to and during testing. If you encounter connectivity issues – prior to the start of testing, please use your best judgment as to whether or not to allow students to begin testing – during Section I testing, please use your best judgment as to whether or not to allow students to continue on to Section II Student Authorization Tickets must be used to verify student name and GTID prior to testing.

56. Student Authorization Ticket To avoid a student testing under another student’s GTID, you must : 1.Print ALL Student Authorization Tickets; 2.Have students verify AND sign their names BEFORE testing begins Students must verify and sign their names Allb Allcorrect

57. Receipt of Materials Materials will be delivered on one of three distribution dates. System Test Coordinators must: – Ensure sufficient quantities of materials are provided for each school. – Locate pickup/return instructions, memo, return labels, and airbills/bills of lading. – For any discrepancies, contact Pearson Customer Call Center at 888- 705-9414.
