74 Administration of Accommodations
Training shall be provided for those administering accommodations What is allowed and is NOT allowed How to provide the accommodation Refer to the “Guidelines for Assessment Accommodations for Students with Disabilities” Must be listed in student’s IEP, 504, or LPAC plan under “standardized testing accommodations” Must be an allowable accommodation Must be used regularly in the classroom Modifications are never allowed

76 Administration of Accommodations
When extended time is allowed, students must complete each session in the order scheduled before moving on to the next session. Students who are at different points in the test schedule must be isolated from students on the regular schedule for testing, during breaks, and during lunch. Extended time does not allow students to go back into a session at a later time in the day to continue working or to complete unfinished items. Extended time ends at the end of the school day.

77 Administration of Accommodations
Training for individuals providing the Reading Aloud Accommodation Readers may not clarify, elaborate, or provide assistance to students (cueing) You may not read any portion of the reading test Affidavit Waiver must be completed Readers should be familiar with the terminology and symbols specific to the content. This is especially important for science assessments and high school mathematics.

78 Administration of Accommodations
RMT/RWT/RST – Guidelines for Assessment Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Reading the Math Test/Reading the Writing Test/Reading the Science Test – A new secure test booklet has been produced specifically for Test Administrators who are providing a Read-aloud accommodation to a student. NO PORTION OF THE READING TEST IS ALLOWED TO BE READ OR INTERPRETED FOR THE STUDENT. . Licensed personnel will administer the allowable portions of the exams to students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that specify the accommodation of read-aloud. Test administrators should use an even vocal inflection so that the student does not receive any cues by the way the information is read. It is important that they read test items/questions and text word-for-word exactly as written. Test administrators may not clarify, elaborate, or provide assistance to the students, and need to be familiar with the terminology and symbols specific to the content. A student should have the option of asking a reader to slow down or repeat text. Revised December 2011

79 Administration of Accommodations
Recording Accommodation – Guidelines for Assessment Accommodations for Students with Disabilities REC – Records – The test administrator records and serves as a scribe for the student’s responses. The scribe writes down these responses in the student answer document from the student’s speech, sign language, pointing or by using an assistive communication device. Extensive practice is required when using a recorder or scribe. A scribe may not edit or alter student work in any way, and must record word-for word exactly what the student has dictated. Students will be allowed to review and edit what the scribe has written. A person who serves as a scribe needs to prepare carefully to assure that he or she knows the vocabulary involved and understands the boundaries of the assistance to be provided. In general, the role of the scribe is to write what is dictated, no more and no less. The writing sessions (prompts) on the benchmark examinations are scored for mechanics and usage, and particular skill is involved when recording the student’s responses. THE STUDENT MUST PROVIDE THE CAPITALIZATION, PUNCTUATION, AND EXACT SPELLING FOR THE WRITING PORTIONS OF THE TEST. Classroom practice on this type of dictation before the day of the test is recommended to give the student experience with the process. (Note: The test administrator may not write it out first and then go back to ask the student to insert punctuation or adjust spelling.) Revised December 2011

80 Administration of Accommodations
Affidavit Waiver Form for Providing an Approved Accommodation should be completed ONLY for RMT/RWT/RST (Read-aloud) TRANsfer student answers (Braille/Large Print) RECording student answers (usually with Braille/Large Print)
