  11. 3-8 Computer Based Assessments Additional Information Concerning OODP Student Scenarios OODP is an ongoing topic between RIC CBT Working Group and NYSED. Currently reviewing different types of OODP scenarios that can and do occur and how the process might look for each (CBT vs Non-CBT).

  12. 3-8 Computer Based Assessments Overall Student Data Accuracy - Things to Keep in Mind • Student moves after data deadline: Maybe loaded into Nextera Admin under previous school. The new school may get an error message when attempting to hand-enter the student into Nextera Admin stating “student already entered under a different school”. If this occurs, please contact us as we may be able to assist in transferring the student to the correct “testing” school in Nextera Admin. • If you find a student that was loaded into Nextera Admin that is no longer at your school, check to make sure the student records, in the data warehouse, have the appropriate exit dates and reason. • If you hand-enter a student into Nextera Admin, check to make sure that student is accurately entered into the warehouse. (don’t forget location and program service information). • Make sure hand-entered NYSIS ID’s and Local ID’s are accurate. (NYSED is looking for ways to check these for accuracy … for example requiring 9 charters) • These are situations that can cause a delay on the student’s scores loading back into the data warehouse and may have to be entered during summer (September) clean-up!
