Fifteen-Year-Old Students with Disabilities (IEP) in Elementary School Districts
• The following policy for testing pertains to 105 ILCS 5/14-6.01 of the Illinois School Code: Fifteen-year-old students with disabilities who are enrolled in an elementary school district become accountable to the high school district (according to the Illinois School Code). The high school district is responsible for the educational program of the student and also becomes financially responsible for the student.
• The law pertains only to elementary school districts that feed into separate high school districts. It does not pertain to unit districts.
• 2019-20 Guidance is available here:https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Guidance-15YO-IEP-ESD.pdf

24
Illinois Assessment of ReadinessStudent Accommodation information will be sent/loaded to Pearson Accessnext by school staff this year – not SIS.• Student records are posted in PAN.• Test format for all students will be defaulted to Online.• After initial load of all student records, district/school staff will need to log
into PAN and complete the following steps:– Add any accommodations and accessibility features (must be added to the student
registration file in PAN - including paper), either manually (through the user interface) or through the student registration import (SRPNP – template to come).
– Guide for Manual Entry of Accommodations in PAN• https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Guide-Manual-Accommodations-Entry-PAN.pdf
• Students receiving a paper test as an accommodation, or an online test with the proctor reading the math assessment, needed to be listed in PAN by January 24, 2020, to receive the paper test(s) with the initial shipment.
• Test Sessions must also be created in PAN.
25
Illinois Assessment of Readiness– School staff at serving schools will need to enter
student accommodations in PAN.– Some commercial software vendors (e.g., Skyward, TeacherEase)
are creating a process for sending student accommodations to PAN.
– Initials orders (paper material) have been delivered.• March 16 (districts/schools testing in April).
– Additional orders for paper material can now be placed PAN.
• Students with Dual Enrollments– The SIS uploads are not always putting these student records in
the correct testing school. Please check the school placement for these students and make sure the test records are assigned to the correct school.
26
Illinois Assessment For ReadinessThe API tool is scheduled to be functional on March 9.• Beginning March 4, district/school staff can use the transfer request tool in PAN.• SIS staff is sending student updates on March 7.• If you have questions regarding student records, please contact the Student
Assessment Department.
After a student starts a test (and moves to a new district), to move the test, the staff at the new district will need to make a transfer request in PAN.
What is up with all the emails from Pearson?
Student Data Loads – from SIS to PAN• March 7• March 27
27
Illinois Assessment of ReadinessPlease resolve critical warnings associated with student records in PAN. A critical warning flag usually means there is student demographic information missing. However, critical warnings will not stop the test from being administered.
If a student test is started with the incorrect accommodations, the test units must be marked complete, the test voided, and a new test created with the correct accommodations attached to the new test.
In PAN, the student test session roster, in Students in Session, an acronym will be present besides the student’s name, if a special format test form has been assigned (e.g., TTS for Text-to-Speech). A listing of all acronyms for special test formats is on the back cover of the Test Coordinator Manual.
28
Illinois Assessment of ReadinessStudents Moving to a New District/School
If you have students that move to a new school (and the student has not started any test units), and they have a test(s) in a test session at your school, please remove the test(s) from the test session. It will make the transfer of the student tests to their new school easier.
Students Receiving the Read-Aloud Accommodation (Online Format)
The test session for students receiving the read-aloud accommodation must be identified in PAN as being a read-aloud test session. Please note: For a math read-aloud session, the proctor needs a paper script to administer the test.
There is a small box that needs to be checked.If the check box is not marked, the test the student receives and the test the proctor receives will not match.
29
Illinois Assessment of Readiness
Manually Editing Student Accommodations in PANStudent tests accommodations can be manually edited in PAN. Note: after a test session has been prepared, to manually adjust the accommodations, the test must be removed from the session to make the edits. The test can then be placed back in the session.After a test has been started, the accommodations cannot be edited. The test units must be marked complete, the test voided, and a new test assigned with the correct accommodations.
Guide on How to Enter Accommodations Manually in PANhttps://www.isbe.net/Documents/Guide-Manual-Accommodations-Entry-PAN.pdf
30
Illinois Assessment of ReadinessTest IrregularitiesSchool staff need to complete a test irregularity report and send to ISBE if there is an issue with the administration of the test(s) to a student(s). If an issue arises, and school staff can remedy the issue (e.g., the student was assigned an incorrect test form, but the test was voided and a new test with the correct accommodations was administered), then school staff do not need to complete and submit an irregularity report. The agency needs a report for test irregularities that arise that could not be corrected by school staff.
Fillable irregularity report is posted on il.mypearsonsupport.com.https://il.mypearsonsupport.com/resources/training-resources/forms/FormtoReportaTestingIrregularityorSecurityBreach_2020.pdf

35
Tips when Adding Accommodations and Sessions with File Export/Import
Accommodations• Always start with a "fresh" Student Registration Export
– So you have the latest data (transfers and manual updates)
• You can import any number of students
– You can import a file of only the accommodated students
• You can do multiple accommodations imports
– Only the "New" data will change
Sessions• Start with a "fresh" Student Registration Export
• You can only import sessions ONCE (per student)
– Decide when you want to load sessions and how to manage changes
• After the initial session import, changes must be made in PAN
– "Easy" to add sessions and move students but it is manual
36
Recommended Order• Enter or confirm Proctor Cache configuration
– PAN - Setup/TestNav Configurations
• Enter or Import student accommodations– Individually in PAN or Setup/Export / Import Data
• Enter or Import Sessions– Individually in PAN or Setup/Export / Import Data
• Steps can be done in other orders but be sure you have completed these steps and verified accommodations, before you Prepare your sessions!
37

SAT/PSAT Required Test Coordinator Training
• The SAT, PSAT™ 10 and PSAT™ 8/9 Test Day training has been updated for spring 2020 to cover various changes in how you plan for the test, administer the test, and return your test materials. Trainings for the SAT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 have been combined into a single course; there are no longer separate modules for these three assessments.
• Test coordinators for the SAT and PSAT-related assessments are required to complete the training every year, even if they've completed it in prior years.
47
SAT/PSAT Required Test Coordinator Training
• You'll need to add the course to your Learning Management System (LMS) account by following the online prompts. You're required to complete the training before your test date.
• Forward the email to staff members who are supporting the administration, including proctors as well as SSD coordinators who may be assisting accommodated students, to supplement your local training efforts. Note that if you select the SSD coordinator role, you'll be presented the same content as a test coordinator-it's not a different training. The proctor training focuses only on test day activities and administering the test.

SAT/PSAT Spring 2020Who Must Test?• All public-school students in SIS as grades 9, 10, or 11 at the time of testing
• Some grade 12 students; see www.isbe.net/Documents/Grade_12_Testers_Flow_Chart.pdf
• Foreign exchange students
• Students who are repeating grades 9, 10, and 11 who tested previously
• Only home-schooled students who are receiving instruction in ELA and/or math from the public school
• All English Learners (ELs), including those identified as “First Year in U.S. School” must take all ELA sections, including the essay, in addition to math.
Exceptions:• Some students participate instead in DLM-AA, the alternate assessment.
• Home-schooled students who are not receiving instruction in ELA and/or math from the public school may not test.
51
IL School Code and Participation in Testing
• The IL School Code requires that all Illinois public school students participate in the state's accountability assessments, unless exempt.
• Additionally, the IL School Code requires that all Illinois public school students participate in the state's final accountability assessment or its approved alternate assessment in order to receive a regular high school diploma.
Note: Participation in a national SAT does not satisfy this requirement; ISBE cannot utilize national SAT data for accountability purposes. Students may "cancel" their SAT scores, which allows scores to be used for accountability but not be retained in College Board's reporting system.

Spring 2020 Established Test Sites
54
• Home school districts that send students to serving schools for services: coordinate now with serving schools to determine where students will test: at the home or serving location or at an off-site location.
• Off-site testing may be requested for a variety of reasons; below lists some of the most common:
– School is unable to comply with testing conditions due to inadequate space
– Students attend serving schools that are not established as test sites, including students who are expelled to safe schools and not allowed back to their home school
– High school districts that must ensure 15-year-old grade 9 students with IEPs served by elementary school districts take PSAT 8/9
• Directions for how to request off-site testing:www.isbe.net/Documents/SAT-PSAT-OffSite-2020.pdf
