4 Interim Assessment Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Introduction The Interim Assessment Program is an integrated assessment system designed to help classroom teachers monitor their students attainment of the curriculum benchmarks outlined in Florida s Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS). In order to provide our students with an authentic practice test experience in preparation for state assessment programs, the following Interim Assessment (IA) tests will be offered as Computer-Based Tests (CBT) in applicable grade levels/content areas. This CBT Supplemental Program Guide provides an overview of procedures to administer the online version of the Interim Assessment tests. The implementation of computer-based testing requires the involvement of multiple individuals at each school site and each should become familiar with the policies and procedures. The test chairperson, test administrators, and technology coordinators all play an integral role in the implementation and operation of online testing. Available CBT Tests The following table shows the Interim Assessment tests that will be available online for the school year. The available tests are Grades 6, 7, 9, and 10 Reading, Grade 5 Mathematics, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology I, and United States History. Content- Area Computer-Based Tests Reading Grades 6, 7, 9, and 10, and Retake Math Grade 5 Algebra I Geometry Science Biology I Social Studies U.S. History* *paper-based for Baseline only, computer-based in subsequent administrations. Only one version of the IA Grade 10 Reading test will be available for each testing period. However, separate folders are available containing test forms to be used for two groups of students: 1) Grade 10 students and 2) Retakers who are preparing to take the FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake assessment. Accessing the correct folder is important so that the correct results are reported for each group separately. Students who did not pass the FCAT in the fall and need to take the Spring FCAT Retake, should be administered the Winter IA CBT. 1

5 Test Administration Policies and Procedures The Interim Assessment online tests will be administered during the BBA, Fall, Winter, and Spring administration schedules. The testing window of the online Interim Assessments allow each school the flexibility of scheduling dates and times based on their instructional schedule. Following is a summary of the testing windows. Assessment Period Administration Windows BBA August 20 September 7, 2012 Fall October 29 November 9, 2012* Winter Spring January 14 January 17, 2013* ( United States History Only) January 22 February 5, 2013* (Reading, Mathematics, and Science) March 18 March 22, 2013* (United States History Only) *All Differentiated Accountability schools must administer assessments according to the dates established by the Office of School Improvement. A Schedule of Activities is provided for each administration period, which provides dates for the delivery of test booklets for students needing a paper-pencil version of the assessments, classroom sets of booklets for debriefing purposes, staff training, and the downloading of score reports. Testing Format The Computer-Based Interim Assessment tests consist of multiple-choice questions, and will be administered through the Edusoft Assessment Management System. CBT administration requires the preparation of student workstations, computer lab scheduling, monitoring students testing status, and retrieving score reports. Once students tests have been submitted, their scores are available immediately. Score reports are available for individual students, by class, schools, regional centers, district-wide, and for specific subgroups, for example, students enrolled in the English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) or Special Education (SPED) programs. The scores may be used to identify individual students strengths and weaknesses, to target instruction, and monitor progress. Students to Be Tested All eligible students enrolled in Grades 6, 7, 9, and 10 in reading, grade 5 mathematics, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology I, and United States History and its equivalent courses must take the appropriate IA CBT (See Appendix D for a list of equivalent course 2

6 codes). Students are to be tested on the grade level and/or subject in which they are currently listed in ISIS. Computer-Based test accommodations and/or decisions regarding modifications for English Language Learners (ELLs), students on Individualized Education and 504 Plans must be made prior to the administration of the assessments. Visually Impaired students and students needing Braille formats will be provided with the paper-pencil version of the Interim Assessments. No CBT accommodated forms are available for this administration. Students requiring such accommodations should be administered paper-based IA tests. Scheduling Students into the Lab A computer lab schedule should be a part of the initial plan. The number of computer labs and available computers will dictate how the schedules should be arranged. The assessments are not timed and students should be provided with sufficient opportunity to complete the test. Special arrangements should be made for students needing extended time. Required Materials Following are the materials needed to administer the IA CBT: Student Authorization Login Ticket (one per student per test) English-to-heritage language dictionary (ELL students) Reference Sheets (Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology, Grade 5 Mathematics) 4-Function Calculator (Algebra 1); Scientific Calculator (Geometry) Scratch paper, pencil Proctoring As in a real test setting, visual barriers should be installed to prevent students from viewing other computer monitors. The test administrator and proctors should actively attend to the students during testing. 3

7 Computer-Based Test Accommodations For this computer-based assessment, accommodations are defined as any variation in the assessment environment or process. Computer accommodations may include variations in scheduling, responding, setting, aids and equipment, and presentation format. These variations should not change the level, content, performance criteria, readability, or validity of the assessment. Keep in mind that all accommodations should mirror those provided during instruction. The accommodations listed on the testing accommodations field in ISIS, as documented on a current Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 Plan, should be provided for students on the IA CBT, to the degree such accommodations are available on the Edusoft platform. Refer to the description of the permissible accommodations in the following sections. Note: Because the activities on the Interim Assessment Reading tests require students to demonstrate reading ability, the reading passages can never be read to students as an accommodation. Special Formats for Students with Visual Impairments Teachers of students who are visually impaired (Large Print and Braille) will be sent the appropriate format of the paper test booklets. Students responses must be transcribed onto an answer sheet provided by the test chairperson. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities and Section 504 Students The following accommodations are permitted, if needed, for students with disabilities who have current IEPs or Section 504 Accommodation Plans. Teachers should follow the procedures outlined below and give special assistance only to those students who are eligible for such assistance. The accommodations permitted are: Flexible setting. Students may be administered the test individually or in a small group setting. Additionally, students may require use of special lighting, adaptive furniture, or special acoustics. Flexible scheduling. Students may be administered the test during several brief sessions or require extended time. Recording of answers. Students may use varied methods to respond to the test, including the mouse, keyboard, assistive technology (as available), written, signed, or verbal response. The teacher or test administrator may enter students responses on the computer if their IEP dictates it. 4

8 Mechanical aids. Students may use a magnifying device, a pointer, a noncalibrated ruler or template, or other similar devices to assist in maintaining visual attention to the passages and the questions. Approved manipulatives such as real coins to depict a test item, an abacus, geoboard, and other graphical aids may also be used. Auditory or sign language presentations. The teacher may sign, provide oral interpretations of, or read general directions. The reading test must be read by the student using visual or tactile means. Mathematics and Science items and answer choices may be read aloud by the test administrator verbatim. Dictionary. Students who use sign language as their primary means of communication may use an English/sign or sign/english translation dictionary. Accommodations for ELL Students The guidelines for all ELL students are as follows: Flexible setting. ELL students may be offered the opportunity to take the test in a separate room with the ESOL or heritage language teacher. Because the students are not of legal age, parents must be informed of this option and should be asked for their preferences in the test administration. Flexible scheduling. ELL students may take the test during brief sessions. Assistance in the heritage language. The ESOL or heritage language teacher may answer students questions about general directions or test questions in a way that the students would not be mistakenly led to infer the correct answer. During the reading test, the teacher may not read words to the students included in the passages or questions. Dictionary. ELL students must have access to an English-to-heritage language dictionary and/or heritage language-to-english dictionary, such as those made available to ELL students in an instructional setting. However, a dictionary written exclusively in the heritage language or in English may not be used. 5

9 Preparation for Computer-Based Testing Administration Computer Preparations All computer workstations to be used for testing must meet the minimum specifications below. Please check with your technology coordinator to verify that your workstations meet the following specifications: Operating System Version Web Browser(s) Adobe Reader Additional Information Windows Vista Microsoft IE 7, 8 Ver. 7 and 9.1 For better performance the following specifications are recommend: Processor: 1.5 GHz or higher Memory: 512 MB RAM or higher JavaScript must be Windows XP Microsoft IE 6, 7, 8 Ver. 6, 7 and 9.1 Macintosh OS 10.5 Safari 3 Ver. 7, 9 Macintosh OS 10.4 Safari 2 Ver. 7, 9 Macintosh OS 10.3 Safari 1.3 Ver. 6 enabled 800x600 screen resolution Disabling Browser s Pop-up blockers Prior to testing, the pop-up blocker feature should be disabled on each workstation to avoid any distractions to students while testing. Please consult with your designated school site computer technician for specific instructions on disabling pop-up blockers for the browser that is currently installed on your workstations. Scratch Paper Students should be provided with scratch paper during the administration of the Algebra I, Geometry, and Grade 5 mathematics tests. After testing, all scratch paper must be collected and discarded in a secure manner to avoid compromising test content. Calculators A four-function calculator is necessary for the administration of the Algebra I test. A scientific calculator should be provided for the Geometry test. Students may use their own four-function or scientific calculator or the classroom teacher can provide them one from a class set. Reference Sheets Reference sheets for mathematics grades 5, 6-8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology I may be downloaded and printed at the school site. These reference sheets may also be used during the year for instructional purposes. However, if they are used prior to IA 6

10 testing, or if re-used they must be examined for stray marks/notes, etc. PDF files are provided at Practice Assessments Practice Assessments for reading grades 6, 7, 9, and 10, grade 5 mathematics, Algebra, and Geometry are available in Edusoft for the purpose of familiarizing students with the Edusoft platform. The assessments are a sampling of items to be used to simulate the Edusoft testing environment and to prepare students for the administration of the interim assessments. The assessments will be available only the first week of the baseline, fall, and winter testing administration windows. Retrieving Class or Session Rosters The Edusoft Assessment Management System school rosters are updated every 5 to 7 days with information provided from ISIS. Edusoft s online testing only allows for enrolled students to be assigned to an assessment in its system. Prior to testing, the test administrator must print the class roster(s) through Edusoft. The Edusoft roster should be compared with the school site roster(s) to determine if any students do not appear on the Edusoft roster. Such students may be administered the assessment(s) in paper-pencil format, or tested after the next rollover date. Edusoft Account Administrators and teachers with Edusoft access can print the rosters. 7

26 Training Test Administrators for the Administration of the IA CBTs The test chairperson or the principal s designee is responsible for training all classroom teachers in the various components of the Interim Assessment Program. Please refer to the IA Program Guide for a complete discussion of training test administrators. Specific to the CBT administration: 1. Scheduling students in the computer lab for testing 2. Verifying Edusoft Class Rosters 3. Applying the visual block to the computer screen. 4. Assisting students during the testing session 5. Securing a student s computer if a student leaves the room and will resume testing 4. Ensuring that student properly exits the test Sample test are available to aid in training processes. (Global Ticket Number needed) Distribution of Testing Materials Test administrators must be provided with the appropriate materials prior to the start of each testing session. The following materials are needed for testing: Global Ticket Number List of students ID numbers (M-DCPS 7-digit ID number) No. 2 pencils, scratch paper Mathematics/Science reference sheets 4-function calculators (Algebra I); Scientific Calculator (Geometry) English-to-heritage language dictionary (ELL students only). Note that the Florida Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology End-of-Course computer-based test provides online calculators, but this tool is not available on the Edusoft platform; students may use a hand-held calculator for the IA tests. Students may use any calculators they use for class work for this assessment. No calculators are provided as part of the Interim Assessment program. Student Roster The Edusoft or Class Roster may be used to take attendance and record students completion status of the assessments. Alternatively, a template is provided in Appendix A that may be used to record students taking the CBT format, paper-pencil format, and those needing special accommodations. 23

27 Administration of the Interim Assessment Tests Each content area of the Interim Assessment test is designed to be administered separately. It is highly recommended that multiple content areas not be administered successively on the same day in order to avoid student fatigue. It is further recommended that longer tests be administered in two sessions, which may occur over a two-day period. If this option is chosen, a stopping point should be designated in advance, with all students instructed to stop at the same point on the computer. Students can log out and use the same password to access the test from the designated stopping point. Individual students should not be allowed to revisit a section on the test that was administered during a previous testing session. Directions for Administering Distribute scratch paper, pencils, mathematics reference sheet, and calculators. Distribute Student IDs to each student. Read the script provided in Appendix B to assist students in accessing Edusoft s student testing site and begin testing. When testing is completed, have students close out the Internet Explorer browser. Collect materials individually from each student. Student Access to Test Site Students will log into Edusoft s Student Testing screen at to test. 24
