Test Security “DACs, administrators, and teachers shall ensure the security of the assessment materials before, during, and after test administration.” “When not being used for a scheduled testing session, all assessment materials shall be stored in a secure location with access granted to authorized personnel only.”

  10. Test Security Proctors may not copy, take notes, discuss, reveal any secure test item to others or use items to prepare students for testing. Alert student responses may be copied by administrators or BACs. Electronic devices with wireless communication capability are prohibited (i.e. cell phones).

  12. Classroom Materials & Surfaces Content information or strategies/processes cannot be displayed on any classroom surface, including clothing. Materials containing content information or strategies/processes added to classroom surfaces during instruction must be removed or covered during the assessment.

  26. Classroom Materials Current assessments allow every student to have calculators, blank writing or graph paper, clear or colored overlay sheets and bookmarks without content or strategies. Test-specific manuals outline what classroom materials may be provided during testing.

  27. Administration Practices  General Instructions “Do your best” “Stay on task” Assistance or Evaluative Comments “You can do better.” “You can write more.”

  28. Students with Accommodations • Accommodations for assessment shall be consistent with a student’s current IEP, 504 or PSP. • Accommodations for one student shall not interfere or influence the assessment of another student.

  29. Testing Schedules All students in the same grade level in the same school must be simultaneously assessed in the same content area. • Students that are absent should resume testing with their class in the section that the class is testing.

  30. Testing Schedules Time Limits and extended time for each assessment must be followed per the administration manual. Students with extended time as an accommodation on an IEP, 504 Plan or PSP may have additional time during that school day.

  32. Test Preparation When not testing, students are to be involved in instruction. Preparation for testing activities and content review embedded in instruction. Preparation courses with no link to curriculum are prohibited.

  33. Good Faith Effort • Can include pre-writing requirement (type to be determined by the student) • Cannot require complete first drafts • Cannot include evaluative statements or grade assignments of test answers • Cannot give feedback until after test booklets are returned to the BAC or DAC

  34. Rewards or Motivational Strategies Shall be consistent with those applied within the regular curriculum or with the larger school program in general and attainable year round for student achievement.

  35. Funding of “rewards” • Follow School Food Services Guidelines and local and state boards finance policies. • Local school board funds or cash awards from school activity funds generated by students shall not be used for student incentives. • ESS funds shall not be used for test preparation. • Donations from individuals, businesses, parents or school staff can be used for student incentives.

  36. Inclusion of Special populations Those providing accommodations must be trained in Administration Code and how the student uses accommodations. Accommodations during an assessment shall be consistent with 703 KAR 5:070, Procedures for the Inclusion of Special Populations

  37. Alternate Assessment • Students in program have primary ownership of assessment pieces. • Yearly training for administration is required. • Alternate Assessment components are secure materials. • Altering results of Alternate Assessment components is prohibited.
