  2. IPT Family of Tests IPT: IDEA Proficiency Tests IDEA : Innovative Differentiated English Activities

  3. Why IPT Testing? • State law requires testing for oral language proficiency for NEW students entering Grades PK-12 whose home language is NOT English. • The scores from this test are used by LPAC as part of the criteria to identify students as LEP. • Oral Language Proficiency Tests (OLPT) must be from the state-approved list. • Beginning in Spring 2007, scores from this test are also used by LPAC to exit students and reclassify them as NON-LEP. • Therefore, students will take the IPT twice—once upon initial entry and once more upon exiting.

  4. Why IPT Testing? • ELEMENTARY GRADES (ENTRY): • Students whose home language is Spanish must take the English IPT and the Spanish IPT • Students whose home language is anything other than English, but not Spanish, must take the English IPT only. • SECONDARY GRADES (ENTRY): • Students whose home language is anything other than English must take the English IPT only. • IPT is easy to administer at each individual campus. • IPT Test must be administered by a TRAINEDprofessional or paraprofessionalEMPLOYED by HISD.

  5. Who? • Who will be tested for ENTRY? • New students • English—all PK-12 if Home Language Survey indicates a language other than English • Spanish—all PK-5/6 (elem.) if Home Language Survey indicates Spanish • Remember: Students in PK-5/6 (elem.) whose HLS is Spanish MUST be tested in BOTH English & Spanish. • Note: Any new student from out of state whose Home Language Survey indicates a language other than English must be tested in HISD even if she/he has test results from the previous state. Student has to qualify as LEP using Texas state-approved assessments.

  6. Who? • Who will NOT be tested for ENTRY? • Students previously tested with IPT or another Texas state-approved oral test other than IPT • A transfer student (from within HISD or another Texas district) who has been previously tested and identified • Who will be tested for EXIT? • LEP students who have met all other exit criteria (see HISD Exit Chart) • Only with English IPT

  7. Who Will Be Administering the IPT (OLPT)? • Trained professionals • Trained paraprofessionals • Testers should be proficient in the language of the test. • Noparent volunteers may test—testers must be HISD employees. • Testers may NOTtrain additional campus testers. • ALLtesters MUSTreceive the official training and a certificate of being trained from Multilingual before testing any students.

  8. When/What? • When will testing occur? • When Home Language is NOT English • Within 4 weeks of enrollment • What test should be used? • English? • Spanish? • Both?

  9. The IPT Family of Tests • IPT is administered individually to students—not as a group. • Grade 6: IPT I or IPT II? • If Gr. 6 is on an elementary campus, IPT Iis recommended. • If Gr. 6 is on a secondary campus, IPT IIis recommended (language demands are greater).

  10. Online IPT

  11. Pre-IPT Components for Online Administration Each examiner needs: • 1 Set of Story Pieces* with Story Pieces Box • 1 Story Board *Pre-IPT English has eight pieces and Pre-IPT Spanish has ten pieces

  15. IPT Administration • Overall tips and rules: • Read the corresponding Online Administration Manual before administering the IPT • Do at least one practice test; these are found under the Help & Training tab of the OnlineIPT • Use ONLY the language of the test • Do not prompt or give clues • Do not skip Sample Items

  16. IPT Administration • Under Examiner Says: • Circled test items = IPT Test Pictures • Directions to examiner are in italics/parentheses • Repeat question ONCE with exceptions • “Close” answers get another chance • Use secondary prompts as applicable

  17. IPT Administration • Under Student Responds: • Count only answers that appear on screen • Sometimes there are several possiblities • One-word responses are often okay • Underlined words MUST be included in the student’s response • Grammatically correct contractions • No penalty for mispronunciation
