  22. AGENDA Training Materials CRCT Overview Pre-Administration Testing Post Test Activities Questions

  23. 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.” Must have 1 proctor for more than 30 students. Examiner Materials: Examiner’s Manual Test books (Gr. 1-8) & Answer sheets (Gr. 3-8) Scratch paper for Math (no calculators) Two No.2 pencils with erasers per student

  24. TESTING: Administration Students take one content area per day. All sections from a single content area must be administered the same day. Grades 3 – 8: Students can write in the test books. Highlighters are not allowed. Grades 1 & 2: Students take stretch breaks or lunch break Grades 3 – 8: Students take stretch breaks Teacher monitoring– “Circulate & Check” to prevent cheating, use of calculators, going ahead, or looking back. IMPORTANT

  25. TESTING: Accommodations Be familiar with accommodations listed in IEPs. Accommodations must be required by the student in order to participate in the 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 at or give away the correct response to the student For Large Print and Braille, transcribe student answers on to a regular answer document.

  26. TESTING: 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 and the appropriate examiners manual for that form. Forms may be different than the forms shipped to schools. For Grades 1 & 2 the inclusion of the Examiner’s Manual ensures proper oral administration of the form. For Grades 3-8, schools can also use regular overage materials to create Small Group Kits of a common form. SAME FORMS SAME MANUAL

  27. TESTING: Irregularities All test administration irregularities must be reported by Examiners to the School Test Coordinator. The School Test Coordinator reports the irregularity to the School Principal. The School Principal and School Test Coordinator decide if the irregularity is severe enough to report to the System Test Coordinator. The School Test Coordinator completes the Testing Irregularities Documentation Form (provided online at http://www.ctb.com/gacrct) and sends it to the System Test Coordinator. The System Test Coordinator contacts the GaDOE immediately for direction. The System Test Coordinator will investigate and code answer document if instructed to do so by the GaDOE.
