  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Good News for Public and Public Charter Schools! Students, test administrators, test coordinators, and technology coordinators will use the same online systems that were provided for the Hawaii State Reading, Mathematic, and Science Assessments during the past four years for the spring 2015 Smarter Balanced ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments with a few upgrades. This means that most of the language and administration procedures used for the Smarter Balanced practice tests, training tests, interim assessments, and summative assessments will be familiar to previous users. New users will be able to consult with other staff members at their schools who are knowledgeable about the online systems while they are learning how each system operates. 3

  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Pages 25 26 Table 9: Estimated Testing Times for Smarter Balanced Assessments Classroom Activities are designed to fit into a thirty-minute window; however, the time within the window will vary due to the complexity of the topic and individual student needs. When developing a testing schedule, use the estimated testing times to calculate the number of days and the amount of time it will take to complete an assessment in each content area and grade level. The number of available computers and TAs also needs to be considered. These estimates do not account for any time needed to start computers, load secure browsers, and log in students. Nor do they account for breaks. TAs should work with TCs to determine precise testing schedules. Recommended order of online administration The assessments are comprised of two components (tests) for ELA and mathematics: a CAT and a PT. All PTs must be preceded by the administration of a Classroom Activity. Smarter Balanced recommends that students take the CAT and PT items on separate days. For each content area, Smarter Balanced also recommends that students begin with the CAT items, followed by the Classroom Activity, and then the PT. Schools may opt to administer in a different order if needed; however, the Classroom Activity, which is designed to introduce the PT, must occur prior to the PT. 19
  • Slide 20
  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Page 27: Classroom Activity The purpose of the Classroom Activity is to introduce students to the context of a performance task so they are not disadvantaged in demonstrating the skills the task intends to assess. Classroom Activities do not address content information; instead, they focus on vocabulary and key contextual topics. The Classroom Activity is designed to be an introduction and not an assessment. The Classroom Activity is non-secure; however, it should not be supplemented with any other content that the teacher may think is helpful. Supplementing the Classroom Activity may detract from the intended purpose of the Classroom Activity and is not advised. 20
  • Slide 21
  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Page 28: Duration and timing information for ELA/Literacy and Mathematics The scheduling/rules for the CAT, Classroom Activity, and PT components are included in Table 10 on page 28 and Table 11 on page 29. Note that the duration, timing, break/pause rules, and session recommendations vary for each content area and component. Page 30: Important reminders The number of items will vary on the CAT portion of each students test. The tests are not timed, so all time estimates are approximate. Students should be allowed extra time if they need it, but test administrators need to use their best professional judgment when allowing students extra time. Students should be actively engaged in responding productively to test questions. The test can be spread out over multiple days as needed. The Classroom Activity must be completed prior to administration of the PT. Inadvertently administering the PT before the Classroom Activity is considered a testing irregularity. 21

  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Page 34: Establishing Appropriate Testing Conditions Test Coordinators (TCs) and Test Administrators (TAs) will need to work together to determine the most appropriate testing option(s) and testing environment based on the number of computers available, the number of students in each tested grade, and the estimated time needed to complete each test. Testing students in classroom-sized groups is preferable. Establishing classroom-sized groups reduces test fear and anxiety for the students and facilitates monitoring and control for the TA. 22
  • Slide 23
  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Page 34: Establishing Appropriate Testing Conditions (Continued) Establish procedures to maintain a quiet testing environment throughout the test session, recognizing that some students will finish more quickly than others. If students are allowed to leave the testing room when they finish, explain the procedures for leaving without disrupting others and where they are expected to report once they leave. If students are expected to remain in the testing room until the end of the session, instruct them on what quiet activities they may engage in after they finish the test that may not include use of their computers to access online instructional programs. 23

RECOMMENDATION: Consider printing this section (pages 37-45) to be used on the day of testing for both the computer adaptive test (CAT) and performance task (PT) portions of each content area test because the script (directions) that TAs must read to students are included. 26
  • Slide 27
  • Teaming for a Successful Administration of Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments Page 37: Day of Test Administration (Continued) To ensure that all students are tested under the same conditions, the TA should adhere strictly to the script for administering the test. These instructions can be found in the boxes in bold. When asked, the TA should answer questions raised by students but should never help the class or individual students with specific test items. No test items can be read to any student for any content area, unless specified as an accommodation as listed in the Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines. Please remember that the script must be followed exactly and used each time a test is administered. If the class is resuming a test and the TA is sure that all students are able to log in without hearing the login directions again, the TA may skip the italicized portions of the directions. 27
