What’s New for the 2010 FCAT K-8 Virtual School Continuity Program/District Virtual Instruction The K-8 Virtual School Program is being phased out. Districts must now provide their own virtual instruction programs. Processing materials for these students  Students enrolled in your DISTRICT virtual instruction program – package for return as all other schools in your district using your district number and school number of the student’s school of enrollment.  Students enrolled in the Florida K-8 Virtual School Continuity Program– package as in previous years, depending on their school of enrollment (formerly Florida Virtual Academy and Connections Academy). District Assessment Coordinator, School Assessment Coordinator, and Test Administrator checklists are printed on perforated pages in the back of the manual. 14

What’s New for the 2010 FCAT (continued) Session 4 of Grades 3 and 4 Mathematics contains items that require a ruler. Rulers should not be distributed for Session 3. Rulers will be provided on perforated sheets with other test materials. Grades 3 and 4 Calibration schools will not receive rulers as they are not required for their version of the test. Do not cut the edges of the ruler! 15

Reminders for the 2010 FCAT Schools are required to adhere to the daily testing schedule. Test Administrators are required to use ALL of the allotted time in each test session and should not end a session early. A student with the accommodation of extra time must complete one session before continuing to the next session. If a student starts a test and leaves school without finishing (for an appointment, illness, etc.), he/she will NOT be allowed to complete the test. 21

Reminders for the 2010 FCAT (continued) Students may not have any electronic or recording devices at their desks, clipped to their belts, in their pockets, or anywhere they can reach them during testing, even if the devices are turned off or the students do not use them. If a student is found to be in possession of ANY electronic device(s) during testing, his or her test must be invalidated in order to successfully enforce this policy. Inappropriate actions by school or district personnel before, during, or after test administration may result in consequences such as test invalidations and/or loss of teaching certification. Please carefully read the Test Security Policies and Procedures to ensure that you are following the correct procedures. District assessment coordinators must require that school administrators, school assessment coordinators, test administrators, and proctors sign an FCAT Administration and Security Agreement. 22

You are NOT required to grid the missing numbers of a SSN. 35

36 Student Grid Sheet Student Information (must be completed by the student) Grade Level/ Content Assessed Student Label Area Form Code Security Number Area Student Demographic Information School Use Only DNS and UNDO bubbles

Sample Student Label Affix the label in the box in the lower left corner of the student grid sheet. Do not remove labels once they have been affixed. Do not place a label over another label. 40

41 Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures Purpose of test invalidation is to identify when the validity of test results has been compromised. Schools may either: invalidate only after discussion with the district assessment coordinator. invalidate at the school level after discussion between the school assessment coordinator and the site administrator. A test MUST be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: A student has an electronic device during testing. A student is cheating during testing. A student is disruptive during testing. Situations involving possession of electronic devices, possible cheating, or disruptive behavior should be investigated and discussed with the school assessment coordinator and site administrator before a final invalidation decision is made.

Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures (continued) A test MAY be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: A student becomes ill and is unable to finish, OR a student is not allowed the correct amount of time. A student was given an accommodation not allowed on the FCAT. A student was given an accommodation not on the student’s IEP, Section 504 plan, or LEP plan. A student was not given an allowable accommodation listed on the student’s IEP, Section 504 plan, or LEP plan. An error occurs in test administration or procedures that could compromise the validity of the test results (e.g., students had access to an unauthorized visual aid that gave an unfair advantage). 42

DO NOT SCORE (DNS) & UNDO Bubbles Writing Sample Reading, Mathematics, & Science Samples There is one DNS bubble and one UNDO bubble for each test in an answer document. 43 Answer Document Containing One Test Answer Document Containing Two Tests

Testing Location Considerations Use classrooms whenever possible. Make sure that each room is free of distractions and has Comfortable seating Good lighting Sufficient workspace Adequate ventilation and free of distractions 55

Testing Location Considerations (continued) Make sure that: students are not facing each other when seated at tables. students are not in seating (stadium or staggered) that allows them to easily view other students’ answers. there is at least three feet between students. Remove or cover all visual aids on student desks or displayed in the room, such as posters showing mathematical and scientific concepts. 56

Supervise Test Administration During testing, ensure that students: have cleared their desks of all materials except the appropriate test materials (mechanical pencils, ink pens, highlighters, crayons, colored pencils, markers, correction fluid, etc., are NOT permitted)

Supervise Test Administration (continued) During testing, ensure that students: are using only No. 2 pencils

Supervise Test Administration (continued) During testing, ensure that students: do not have books, notes, scratch paper, or electronic devices of any kind (including, but not limited to, cell phones, pagers or electronic games) during testing, even if they do not use them

Supervise Test Administration (continued) During testing, ensure that students: do not talk or make any disturbance

During testing, ensure that students: are working independently Supervise Test Administration (continued)

During testing, ensure that students: are working in the correct session and recording their answers in the appropriate area Supervise Test Administration (continued)

During testing, ensure that students: do not make stray marks near the answer choice bubbles. This is especially critical when students are testing in a combination test and answer book. Stray marks near the bubbles may interfere with the scoring of the document. Supervise Test Administration (continued)

Do not: talk with students about any test item help students answer any test item While you may encourage students to continue working, you may not talk with them about the prompt or test items or help them with their responses. Supervise Test Administration (continued)

For example: a student finishes the test before the allotted time has elapsed, the test administrator or proctor:  may encourage them to go back and check their work.  may not read or comment on responses,  may not help plan what to write  may not provide information that would help infer the correct answer (such as suggesting that the student might want to review their work on specific items ) Supervise Test Administration (continued)

Do not: check through books return books to students after they have been collected Supervise Test Administration (continued)

Do not: discuss test items or answers with students even after all test materials have been returned and testing has ended Supervise Test Administration (continued)

Do: Check student grid sheets to ensure the following:  No stray marks are in the preidentified/security number area  No stray marks or writing appear outside designated areas  DNS and UNDO bubbles are accurate Supervise Test Administration (continued)

If student reports an error with an item: DO NOT read item note the grade level, content area, form code, item number, and basic student concern  (e.g., two possible answers, no correct answer, etc.). encourage the student to reread the item  most concerns result from students who don’t read an item carefully Encourage the student to answer the item to the best of his/her ability and continue with the test Once testing has ended, inform Cherie who in turn will notify the FDOE with this information.  The item will be investigated.
