Corporation Technology Coordinator RoleCorp Tech Coor RoleSlide 12

Windows 8 users: Disable touchscreen prior to testing. Touchscreen is not supported.Testing Content Available in ISTEP+ Online Sandbox and live TASSay:The majority of the Corporation Technology Coordinators work has been completed before the online tests are administered.Some key tasks that the Technology Coordinator is responsible for before testing begins include:Downloading and installing final test content.Conduct final workstation checks.Work with the CTC to develop a phone tree.An important note for Windows 8 operating systems, the touchscreen will need to be disabled before a student tests on that machine.During testing, the technology coordinator should be available to support schools with technology issues that arise. After testing has concluded, we ask that the technology coordinator follow up with the test coordinator testing to review the overall process. Please report issues to CTB support desk.

The Test Delivery Client that was installed during the Site Readiness period will be used for ISTEP+ Applied Skills, IREAD-3 and ISTEP+ Multiple Choice Tests. New content will be released based on the test type. The content can be found on both the sandbox and live ISTEP+ Online Test Administration System websites by clicking on the Services Tab, then choosing Download Test.12Marking a student record as Invalid or Do Not Score must be completed by:ISTEP+ Applied Skills Test March 12IREAD-3 Spring March 19ISTEP+ Multiple-Choice May 9

School Test Coordinator (STC) RoleSchool Test Coor RoleSlide 14

Say: The School Test Coordinator has more responsibilities during the test than the Corporation Test Coordinator. One of the main responsibilities of both School Test Coordinator/Examiners is to invalidate student tests when necessary. It is important to note that any invalidations must be marked in the online system on or before the last day of the test administration window.Lets review the key steps on the slide.Important tasks that the School Test Coordinator is responsible for before the test include:Attend Corporation directed training.Ensure that the test content has been prepositioned on each machine.Print and store the test tickets in a secure location if not already provided by the corporation test coordinator.Create or confirm the school test schedule.Work with corporation and other schools staff to create a phone tree or protocol for how to manage issues faced during testing.Key tasks for the School Test Coordinator during the test include:Supervise administration of online testing.Check status on testing completionsAfter the test, the School Test Coordinator is responsible for:Invalidate student tests if necessary.Return all test tickets to the Corporation Test Coordinator for secure destruction.14Marking a student record as Invalid or Do Not Score must be completed by:ISTEP+ Applied Skills Test - 3/12IREAD-3 Spring - 3/19ISTEP+ Multiple Choice - 5/9

School Test Examiner RoleTest Examiner RoleSlide 15

Say: The School Test Examiner has more responsibilities during the test than the Corporation Test Coordinator. One of the main responsibilities of School Test Examiners is to invalidate student tests when necessary. It is important to note that any invalidations must be marked in the online system on or before the end of the test administration window.Do: Review the key steps on the slide.Important tasks that the School Examiner is responsible for before the test include:Gathering materials needed for testing such as headphonesReview the Online Examiners manual. Prepare a timing chart for test irregularitiesConfirming the local assessment schedule.Key tasks for the School Test Coordinator during the test include:Distributing test tickets to the students.Providing the Test Access Code for the test.Verifying all students have exited the test properly.After the test, the School Test Coordinator is responsible for:Invalidating student tests if necessary along with the School Test Coordinator.Returning all test tickets to the Test Coordinator.15

To better facilitate recording interruptions that may occur during the assessment, you may find the chart below helpful.General Test Preparation TasksGeneral Test PrepSlide 16

16Say: Outside of the online test application, there are some general test preparation tasks such as: Preparing a local test schedule which includes transition time between tested grades, Confirming that the test examiner is prepared to manually time each test session the same as would be done with paper/pencil testing and preparing charts to record time or testing irregularities.

AgendaAgendaSlide 17

17Say: Next on the agenda is an overview of the online programs and tools available to students. We will also review Test creation timeline.

IDOE Online Testing Program OverviewStudent Testing Software Installed on WorkstationsAdministrative Tool Accessed via InternetISTEP+ Online Program OverviewSlide 18

18The ISTEP+ Online testing program consists of 2 applications, the Test Delivery Client and the Test Administration System. During the Site Readiness training sessions held in December, we reviewed on the Test Delivery Client. The emphasis of todays presentation will be on the ISTEP+ Online Test Administration System website.

ISTEP+ Online Test Delivery Client Student ToolsStudent Tools TDCSlide 19

SAY: Focusing briefly on the Test Delivery Client there are several tools that will be automatically available for students while they are testing. These include a Blocking Ruler which would typically be used similar to a straight edge to aide in reading passages, an eraser and highlighter. Also available are options to Mark a question for later review, and eliminate answers to narrow down the final selection options. 6th through 8th grade students will also be presented with a reference card. Note the reference card example on this slide. Finally, the student will have access to other manipulatives such as a ruler and protractor. In some cases, these tools may appear in the student profile as an accommodation (an example would be the Blocking Ruler). In Indiana, these are considered tools instead of accommodations. 19

Test Administration System (TAS)Focused on minimal clicksConsistent behavior and controlsTest Administration SystemISTEP+ Online Test AdministrationSlide 20

SAY: The ISTEP+ Online Test Administration system website is where student test sessions and student profile records are managed. This website contains the student test tickets needed for online testing. Student test session invalidation and Do Not Score confirmations are also managed within this application. We will review several of these features later in this presentation.20

ISTEP+ Online AccommodationsAccommodationsSlide 21

Main Points:Students with an IEP, Section 504 Plan, or ILP can have specific accommodations set in the testing software.Passages will not be read for reading comprehension items.Grade 3-5 students requiring the calculator accommodation should be provided physical calculators (the Online Calculator box can be checked for these grades as well but the online calculator wont display at this grade level).

Say: ISTEP+ Online provides flexibility to implement and configure support for a wide range of accommodations based on individual need. Students with an IEP, Section 504 Plan, or ILP can have specific accommodations set in the testing software. Some available accommodations include:The Screen Reader, commonly referred to as Text-to-Speech This is available for students who require an audio version of the assessment. For accommodated students with this setting turned on, the screen reader will be provided as part of the test delivery client. Please keep in mind that reading comprehension items will not be read.Alternative Text for Graphics = Everything on the screen and every standard action can be read aloud. When the student clicks an image, students will hear text describing the image they clicked.Variable Font Size / Color / Screen Background Color, Variable Image Size.Grade 3-5 students who requiring the calculator accommodation should be provided physical calculators (the Online Calculator box can be checked for these grades as well, but the online calculator will not display at grades 3-5).

21ISTEP+ Applied Skills & IREAD-3 SpringTest CreationTest CreationSlide 22

22SayCTB will again create grade level tests and assign students at each school. Each online testing student will be assigned tests appropriate for their grade level in order to take the test online using the Test Delivery Client. Changes to these test assignments will be handled at the corporation or school level. The online system does not book or schedule the testing labs or rooms. Those schedules are handled locally.

Each existing student record will be automatically assigned to two practice and one operational test. Additional tests as required (such as makeup sessions) would be created locally.Student profile accommodation settings must be updated prior to student testing.Practice tests can begin as early as 2/10 for the ISTEP+ Applied Skills and IREAD-3 Spring tests.New student records can be added to the system after 2/10. Students records added after February 10th will need to be added to the scheduled tests by the corporation or school.In the case of class/teacher changes after test session creation: If a student changes from their original class/teacher to a new class teacher within the same school and that student record has already been assigned to a test session first, remove the student record from the session, update the student profile record with the new teacher designation and then reassign that student record to the testing session. Please Note: The class/teacher designation in the student profile record at the time the student takes the test will be used for reporting.ISTEP+ Multiple ChoiceTest CreationTest CreationSlide 23

23SAY: CTB will also create and assign tests for the ISTEP+ Multiple Choice tests. CTB will create two practice test opportunities and one operational test for all students. The practices tests will be available beginning March 24. These tests are created using the student barcode data. The operational tests will be created and students assigned as of April 7. The operational test assignments will be generated using the student profile data from within the Test Administration System website. Please add any new student profiles by April 6 to ensure these new students are assigned during the CTB test creation. Student profiles added after April 6 will need to be added to tests by either the corporation or school test coordinators.Slide 24

Experience Online Testing versus Practice Testing Experience Online TestingSlide 30

30SAY: There are two methods to familiarize students with the online testing application; through the Experience Online Testing website and through a Practice Test administered at the school. Differences between the two systems are noted on this slide. The most important take away from this slide is that the Experience Online Testing website does not take the place of a Required Practice Test. The Experience Online Testing website is an internet simulation of the test client meant for teachers, parents and student to use to familiarize themselves with online testing. Actual practice tests are conducted at the school and require the use of the installed test delivery client as well as test sessions and test tickets for students. Slide 31

** FAQQ: Why is the test Untimed? I thought all operational ISTEP+ and IREAD-3 tests were timed.

A: The tests are timed tests with time limits. TAS offers an option to manage the time limits via the computer which would automatically end the student testing session if time runs out. The tests are timed in the classroom by the test examiner instead of by the application.** FAQQ: The Allow Test Breaks checkbox has been checked. I cannot uncheck the box. Why? A: Test breaks between sessions adds to the security of the test. This feature cannot be turned off.

Q: What is a Test Access Code and why is it important? Can I change the Code? A: Access codes are the keys to access the test content. The TAS will default to Test Access Codes. These can be changed anytime prior to the first student logging into the test.FAQs - Untimed Test and Allow Test BreaksFAQs D2 AssessmentSlide 63

SAY: We have a couple of FAQs related to Tests:First - Why does the test duration display as Untimed? ISTEP+ and IREAD-3 tests are timed tests Yes all tests are timed with time limits. The Test Administration System has a feature that will manage time limits via the computer. Due to circumstances that might occur locally during testing, the tests are not timed using the automated feature but are instead manually timed in the classroom by the test examiner. The Test Examiner should time the online tests using the same timing practices as the paper/pencil tests.

Next The Allow Test Breaks box has been checked and I cannot uncheck the box. Why? Breaks are between subtests. This adds to test security.

Finally - What is a Test Access Code and why is it important? Can I change the Test Access Code? Test Access Codes are the keys to access the student test session and content. The TAS will default to Test Access Codes. The test access codes can be changed but cannot be turned off.

Then SAY: There are two types of test tickets Student and Summary. The student test tickets can either be printed individual or multiple up on a sheet by choosing one of the two options. These tickets contain student login credentials will be provided to students at the start of each test session.

Summary test tickets contain the Test Access Codes and a roster of all students assigned to a test. The summary test tickets are secure documents. These tickets should not be shared with students. The test examiner will need a copy of the summary test ticket in order to provide test access codes to students at the beginning of each subtest. The two image examples displayed on the slide are an Individual Test ticket and a Summary Test ticket.

66

** FAQQ: The Student and/or Summary Test Tickets have been lost. What should I do?

A: If the test has not yet started (no students have logged in), find and delete the test. Create a new test, assign students and print new test tickets. The Access Codes will be different in the new session.

If the test has already started, access the test, open the Add Student panel, click the Add Student button and remove all students who have not yet tested. Create a new test and assign those students. Print test tickets for the new test.

SPEAKER - READ THE STEPS ON THE SLIDE AS THE ANIMATION DISPLAYS88** FAQQ: I need to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation. Is that okay?

A: While it is possible within TAS to move a student from one school to another school, please do not move students between schools.

If a student moves from one school to another school within or outside of the corporation: 1) Flag the student record at the original school as Will Not/Did Not Test. 2) Create a new student record at the new school. 3) The new student record should be assigned to test sessions at the new school. 4) Consult with the IDOE if you are not sure if the student should test at the new school.

FAQs Student Moved Between Schools in CorporationFAQ Move StudentSlide 89

Say: Our next FAQ covers moving students from one school to another: Is it okay to move a student from one school to another school in my corporation?

If a student moves from one school to another school in the corporation, please mark the original student record as Will Not/Did Not Test. Enter a new Student Profile Record at the new school and assign that student to a test session at the new school (if the student has not yet tested). While the system will allow the user to move a student from one school to another within the corporation, please do not move students between schools.89** FAQQ: How can I determine if a student has been assigned the Screen Reader (text to speech) accommodation setting before the student logs into take the test?

** FAQ TipA: Option 1 Review the Student Record, Specific Accommodations. Has Allow Screen Reader been selected?** FAQA: Option 2 Review the Summary Test Ticket Are any students indicated for the Screen Reader Accommodation?

If yes, review the Student listed as testing in the session. Do you see Screen Reader listed under Accommodation?FAQs Was a Student Speech Reader Accommodation Added?FAQ AccommodationsSlide 90

Our next FAQ is in regards to student accommodations such as the screen reader. How can I determine if a student has been assigned the Screen Reader (text to speech) accommodation setting before the student logs into take the test? It is important to determine if the accommodation has been set prior to the student logging into the operational test. There are a few options but two of the most common are checking the student profile or the summary test ticket.First, you can review the student record specific accommodations panel. The Allow Screen Reader check box should be marked. If not, click the check box and save. Another option would be to check the Summary Test Ticket. Each student in the test is listed, along with details about the student record. The Screen Reader option will be displayed under the Accommodation heading if the accommodation has been added to the student profile record.

They have resources and documentation on how to handle common issues and errors.For issues out of your control - for example severe weather conditions or the cable being cut, which actually happened last year, one possible resolution is a test window extension. All such issues would be decided by the IDOE on a case-by-case basis.107Next Steps/TakeawaysNext Steps - TakeawaysSlide 108

108SAY: There are some takeaways from todays session. If you do not mind, please take a few moments to complete the training feedback form.
