  1. 2011- 2012Assessment Logistics TrainingFor CELApro, CoAlt, and TCAPNovember 2011 11/2/2011

  2. What’s New for 2011-2012? Changes to Student Bio Grid Accommodations have been expanded to collect all accommodations that apply for each student for each test. For Lectura/Escritura, the accommodations “Translated oral script” and “Word-to-word dictionary” can no longer be bubbled. Student Bio Grid has a set of bubbles labeled “State Use Only” – districts do not bubble. SBD Changes for CELApro and TCAP Accommodations fields will not be available in the Student Biographical Data (SBD) files for completion or update. Accommodations data will be present in your final GRF files. The data will be what was bubbled at test time, so be sure to complete this data. 11/2/2011 2

  3. What’s New for 2011-2012? Short-Add Forms and TCK Order Deadlines Stray marks should not be erased from test books after testing. Student Bio Grid has a set of bubbles labeled “State Use Only” – districts do not bubble. Stack cards/paper bands will be shipped in bulk and package sizes have been increased. 11/2/2011 3

  6. I. BEFORE TESTING 11/2/2011

  7. How do I Order Test Materials? Online Enrollments have closed for 2011-2012 All enrollment counts for CELApro and orders for materials are placed online through CTB’s Navigator system. When you became a DAC, you should have received user-IDs and passwords from CTB. CELApro has its own user-ID and password; TCAP and CoAlt, have the same user-ID and password. The log in gives you access to all information and files associated with that assessment(s). User-ID and password questions go to the CTB Help Desk 11/2/2011 7

  8. When do I Order Test Materials? Online Enrollments have closed, but they happen about the same time every year. Online Enrollment Windows on Navigator: CELApro OE Window 10/3/11 - 10/14/11 CoAlt OE Window 10/17/11 – 10/28/11 TCAP – Special Populations OE Window – 10/31/11 – 11/23/11 Counts for regular TCAP test books are based on a combination of the previous year’s counts and enrollment data from Student October, which CDE sends to CTB. If you are short of materials you may order them during the short/add windows. 11/2/2011 8

  9. 2012 Test Administration Windows 11/2/2011 9

  10. Does my District Need Early Test Administration? Request early test administration in advance of testing through the TCAP Early Testing survey on Navigator. Dates to request: 10/3/11 through 12/9/11 CoAlt and CELApro do not have early window surveys. DACs concerned about special circumstances for CELApro testing may start the administration of the Speaking section after December 15. This is not an early window that needs approval from Student Assessment. 11/2/2011 10

  15. Pre-coded Labels (PCL) Pre-coded student labels are supplied for TCAP, CoAlt, CELApro, and COACT. CELApro labels are based on Student October data. Student data for CoAlt, TCAP, and COACT labels come from the Pre-coded Labels (PCL) collection. The PCL collection is voluntary. Districts who don’t submit data for the PCL collection receive labels based on data in their Student October submission. PCL collection is12/5/11 through 1/11/12 on CDE’s Automated Data Exchange system. Submit all students for PCL, not just the new students. 11/2/2011 15

  16. Review Materials Before Testing Detailed information is found in the DAC/SAC Manual which is posted on Navigator. Step 1 Review Your Test Materials Make sure you have adequate quantities of all materials Review rosters of pre-coded information Gather information for students who do not have labels because they are new to your district Step 2 Distribute Test Materials Deliver materials to schools one week or less before testing Distribute test books to proctors only on scheduled testing date 11/2/2011 16

  17. Procedures DAC/SAC 5 68 Use Pencil ONLY! Student Name District Name Teacher Name School Name Use only a standard, wooden, graphite-based, #2 pencil on any part of the test book…. including the front cover! 11/2/2011 17

  18. II. AFTER TESTING 11/2/2011

  19. Stop Sheets for Lectura/Escritura Stop! Remove all stop sheets from completed Spanish assessments before packing and shipping. Stop sheets will stop scanning of these booklets. 11/2/2011 19

  20. After Testing Procedures Step 3 Instructions for the SAC in the DAC/SAC Manual Collect Test Materials Check Student Data Grids Test Invalidation and Accommodations fields These fieldsmust be bubbled after the student completes the test for all content areas. 11/2/2011 20

  21. Check all test books: All students are required to take the TCAP. Most test booklets will have the “0” bubble(s) filled in! All other Test Invalidation bubbles allow your district to account for missing data. All tested subjects After Testing: Test Invalidation Codes 11/2/2011 21

  22. Check all test books: All students must have one or more accommodations code bubbled on the data grid. Most test booklets will have the “0” bubble(s) filled in! Marking all that apply allows you to record all accommodations used for a student. All tested subjects After Testing: Accommodations Codes 11/2/2011 22

  23. Step 4 Instructions for School Assessment Coordinators Name on cover of draft and test books.Pencil only! Pre-coded label and/or Student Data Grid are complete and accurate. Stray marks inside the books should not be erased. Stray marks on the front cover or the student bio grid should be erased. No tape, post-it notes, staples, scratch paper, paper clips, or rubber bands should be in/on any test books. TP return test books (in alphabetical order) to SAC: Make sure transcription is complete for Braille or large print books. After Testing Procedures:Check Test Books 11/2/2011 23

  24. After Testing Procedures:How to Use the Pre-coded Labels Verify pre-coded labels with student rosters prior to testing No Free/Reduced Lunch (District Use C) and Homeless (District Use D) data printed on rosters, but data are included with label Proper placement of label on book is critical If the wrong label is placed on a book: Place two blank labels over incorrect label and then complete the student data grid 11/2/2011 24

  25. Pre-coded Labels In order for the scoring process to move smoothly, it is ESSENTIAL that the labels are not placed crooked or outside the designated area on the front cover.  Slightly off-center and tilted or upside down 11/2/2011 25

  26. After Testing Procedures:When to Use Pre-coded Labels Do not use the label if an error exists above the line of Student Data Grid - complete all information. If any data below the line is incorrect, use the label and fill in only the information that needs to be corrected. TCAP label on TCAP book, etc. 11/2/2011 26

  27. CELApro Student Data Grid What is Unique about CELApro data grid: Student’s grade level Primary Disability Home Language Language Proficiency Test Invalidation: “Eligible to take CoAlt” Accommodations At least 8 Accommodations and Test Invalidation bubbles to complete! 11/2/2011 27

  28. CoAlt Student Data Grid What is Unique about CoAlt data grid: Multiple content areas on one data grid No grade field to bubble Expanded Accommodations Test Invalidations and Accommodations for RWMS R/W Spanish version (grades 3/4) ALERT: Take care when transferring responses from the protocol to the rating form! 11/2/2011 28

  29. TCAP Student Data Grid What is Unique about TCAP data grid: Grade comes from the test book Grade 4-10 Reading/Writing on same book 11/22/2010 29

  30. Opportunities to Get the Data Right Before testing: Student October collection Pre-coded Labels (PCL) collection After testing: Data grid completion and review Student Biographical Data (SBD) collection Testing the correct students on CELA: Just because you have a CELA label for a student does not mean that this student qualifies to be tested Students who test on CELA must be identified as NEP, LEP, or FEP in Student End of Year collection. 11/2//2011 30

  31. After Testing: GIS and SGL forms SACs complete GIS and SGL forms Different colors for GIS forms by test DACs and SACs check to make sure the GIS and SGL numbers match – critical Scorable Test Books GIS SGL 11/22/2010 31
