30. TESTING Will cover the following: Preparation Administration Accommodations Irregularities 30

31. TESTING: Preparation Remove or cover instructional materials that may prompt student responses Arrange seating to promote individual work Post a sign on the outside of the classroom door: Testing: Do Not Disturb In addition to the Test Examiner, a proctor is recommended for up to 30 students/required for more than 30 Examiner Materials: – Examiner’s Manual – Test books (Gr 3–8) and Answer sheets (Gr 3–8) – Scratch paper for Math (no calculators) – Two No.2 pencils with erasers per student 31

32. TESTING: Preparation Small Group Kits Small Group Kits are for those students who need a special administration of the exam in a small group environment Small Group Kits consist of 10 test books of the same grade and form; are test books only; and are administered using the same Examiner Manual and answer document as the regular test Small Group Kits are provided; schools can also use regular overage materials to create Small Group Kits of a common form Systems and Schools receive 10 percent overage; additional Small Group Kits are available by ordering through CTB Customer Service 32

33. TESTING: Administration Students take one content area per day All sections from a single content area must be administered the same day Students can write in the test books; highlighters are not allowed Students take stretch breaks between Sections I and II Teacher monitoring– Circulate and Check to prevent cheating, use of calculators, going ahead, or looking back 33

34. TESTING: Accommodations Be familiar with accommodations listed in IEPs Accommodations must – be required for the student in order to participate in assessment – be provided during routine instruction and assessment in the classroom Accommodations may not – alter, explain, simplify, paraphrase, or eliminate any test item, reading passage, writing prompt, or choice option – Provide verbal or other clues or suggestions that hint or give away the correct response to the student 34

35. Testing: Coding Accommodations State Required Codes (SRC) Accommodation Type (Setting, Presentation, Response, Schedule) Conditional Accommodation Braille/Large Print Read-Aloud Guidelines – Page 9 in TEM – Also - CRCT Read Aloud Guidelines and CRCT Read-Aloud Online Tutorial can be found at: http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and- Assessment/Assessment/Pages/CRCT-Resources.aspx http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and- Assessment/Assessment/Pages/CRCT-Resources.aspx 35

36. Testing: Coding Accommodations 36 Bubble current SRC even if it is included on label; however, if the current SRC is not on the label or does not match, discard the label and bubble all demographic information.. If an Accommodation Type is bubbled; ACCOMMODATIONS must be bubbled also

37. TESTING : Irregularities (IR) Events and circumstances, or departures from standardized testing procedures are irregularities – They may have an impact on student performance that is not possible to define – They are reported and student scores are flagged simply to say, “There is something different about the conditions under which this score was obtained. Use caution in interpreting the score.” 37

38. TESTING : Irregularities All test administration irregularities must be reported by Examiners to the School Test Coordinator The School Test Coordinator sends irregularities to the System Test Coordinator for verification and to obtain the correct code The System Test Coordinator contacts the GaDOE immediately for direction If instructed to do so by GaDOE, the System Test Coordinator will investigate and complete the Testing Irregularities Documentation Form provided online on the MyGaDOE Portal Improperly coded irregularities may default to the holding of test scores 38

39. TESTING : Some Examples of Irregularities (IR) Irregularities in Test Administration: Materials being distributed inappropriately Directions not being followed Improper monitoring of test administration Student takes CRCT-M when should take CRCT 39

40. Testing: Invalidations (IV) Some irregularities are so serious that they result in invalidation of student scores Content being disclosed, coached, or distributed Cheating Test Administrator altering responses during or after testing 40

41. Testing: Participation Invalidation (PIV) In addition to irregularities (IR) and invalidations (IV), systems will have to code for Participation Invalidations (PIV) for students who receive an accommodation that is not on the list of state-approved accommodations or not on the student’s IEP Federal regulations stipulate that when inappropriate accommodations are used, students may not be considered participants in accountability calculations In the CRCT, a potential PIV occurs when a student receives an unapproved conditional accommodation such as the reading of the reading passages on the Reading test or use of a calculator on the Math test 41

42. Testing: Coding Irregularities and Invalidations Incorrect coding may result in no reports being sent. 42

43. Testing: Reducing Irregular Test Administrations Ensure proper training of all test administrators Maintain clear and consistent training and support materials Make certain all accommodations are clear to test administrators particularly if the Test Examiner is not the students’ regular teacher Make certain that Test Examiners are constantly monitoring the testing environment Respond to student actions appropriately and immediately Implement a program for reporting irregularities during testing 43

44. TESTING : Characteristics of a Quality Investigation Examiner should notify Principal and School Test Coordinator of incident School Test Coordinator should notify System Test Coordinator Request detailed written statements from all parties involved if necessary – Follow up on details (connect the dots) Follow district procedures regarding misconduct Provide a written summary of incident and investigation findings (page 171 SAH) – Consult with GaDOE as needed System Test Coordinator is responsible for reporting to GaDOE – Report to GaDOE immediately, prior to investigation – Final documentation should be entered into portal 44

49. POST-TEST ACTIVITIES: School Test Coordinator Transposing Student Answer Responses: When required and prior to returning answer sheets to the System Testing Coordinator, verify student answer responses have been transposed to an answer sheet.

54. POST-TEST ACTIVITIES: System Test Coordinator Packing Return Shipment System Test Coordinators prepare materials for pick-up; details in the School and System Test Coordinator’s Manual Reminders: Do not consolidate materials from more than one school in the same box Use one label per box – Use WHITE Return Shipping Labels for scorable materials – Use Yellow Return Shipping Labels for non-scorable materials – Note: You will not need any additional shipping labels to return your materials Identify the sequence of boxes by filling in the line on the white scorable label that reads “SCH BOX __ OF __” On the same white label, fill in the total number of boxes for the entire system in the space provided “SYS BOX __OF__” Securely seal all boxes 54
