3 Resources MVISD Assessment Calendar TELPAS Timeline in/ What is TELPAS TELPAS is an assessment program for students in Texas Public Schools who are learning the English language. TELPAS stands for the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System. TEA developed TELPAS to meet state and federal testing requirements. Texas assesses English language learners annually in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 6

4 What is TELPAS All current LEP students K-12 (including denials) must be assessed in TELPAS annually. ARDC s in conjunction with LPAC may determine that a student receiving Special Education services should not be tested in one or more domains. 7 TELPAS Acronyms ELPS- English Language Proficiency Standards. These are federally required instructional standards designed to ensure that ELL s are taught the academic English they need for school purposes. PLDs - Proficiency Level Descriptors Rubrics teachers use to determine students English language proficiency for ongoing formative assessments and spring TELPAS administration. 8

5 6 sets of PLDs Listening Grades K-12 Speaking Grades K-12 Reading Grades K-1 Grades 2-12 Writing Grades K-1 Grades Getting ready for Spring TELPAS Clear up any discrepancies on LEP rosters now! ARDCs in conjunction with the LPAC may determine that a student receiving Special Education Services should not be tested in one or more domain of TELPAS. Participation should be considered on a domain by domain basis. Selection of raters and verifiers should be assigned now! Please note: a rater cannot also be the verifier Make sure to heed and determine the length of the writing collection window, it is TEA s position that all required students meet the minimum requirement despite special circumstances. Suggestion: include a specials teacher (elementary) as a rater. They are best suited as backup raters. 10

6 Getting ready for Spring TELPAS Because of the requirements of online testing, plan on having students test on two separate days (untimed but pilot showed an average of 1.5 hours) Start reviewing your computer labs for a total number of computers. Plan on testing students on every other computer to minimize distractions for the online speaking and listening tests. Students that transfer to your school on or after February 26th only have to be given the online tests (Reading, Speaking, and Listening) DO NOT FORGET YOUR DENIALS! *Who will you work with to catch new LEP students after 2/26? *Suggested Accommodations/ SPED decisions date by 2/9 11 TELPAS Online Training and Calibration

7 TELPAS Holistic Rating Training-NEW This Year The Grades 2-12 Online Basic Training Course and calibration activities will now only include the domain of writing. A separate holistically-rated listening and speaking rater training will be available for the rare circumstance in which a student can t access the online listening and speaking assessment. Each training course will now have a practice activity outside of the modules. After completing the modules and practice activities, certificates of completion will be available to print in the scoring summary tab. Testing coordinators will not longer need certificates. 13 Two Types of Training Online basic training course It provides instruction on using the PLD rubrics and gives raters practice rating students. There are separate courses for K-1 and MVISD requires ALL raters to complete the Online Basic Training course. *We suggest allowing teachers to do this outside of the school if they wish and they can get a head start as soon as the platform opens. 1. Online calibration This is for all raters. Raters use the PLDs to rate students. Raters have two opportunities to calibrate on assigned grade cluster

8 When and where do raters take the online basic training course? Depending on campus arrangements, raters may either complete the online basic training course during school hours, after school, or on weekends. The online training system allows raters to access the training from any computer that meets the minimum system requirements. *****It is a violation of state assessment procedures to record, discuss, or share answers to the rating practice and calibration activities. Prior to creating a TELPAS Online Training Center account, raters are required to read an online statement and affirm that they will complete the rating activities independently. 15 When and where do raters complete calibration? Both new and returning raters must complete calibration in a monitored setting. Monitored calibration sessions may take place during the school day, after school, or as part of professional development. Most raters will need 1 to 2 hours to complete a calibration set. *****It is a violation of state assessment procedures to record, discuss, or share answers to the rating practice and calibration activities. Prior to creating a TELPAS Online Training Center account, raters are required to read an online statement and affirm that they will complete the rating activities independently 16

10 Online Training and Calibration Calibration must be completed in a monitored setting (sign in and seating charts required). Raters have two opportunities to calibrate. For grades 2-12, raters will calibrate only on the domain of writing. Local procedures must be established for verifying the completion of online courses and calibration activities. The TELPAS Online Training Center does not save training histories or certificates. Accounts and certs will be purged a teh end of each training window. 19 Online Training and Calibration Raters need to print and retain a copy of their training and calibration certificates. Certificates are also ed to raters upon course completion and successful calibration.. All raters must receive administration procedures training prior to attending a calibration session and must have a signed oath on file. A roster of participants in each session will be maintained. 20

11 Online Training and Calibration Raters will be given a passcode by the session proctor in order to access calibration. Raters may use their TELPAS Rater Manual (must be a clean copy) or a copy of the PLDs. Notes taken during calibration should be done on scratch paper. The scratch paper must be turned in to the proctor at the end of the calibration session and then shredded. 21 Online Training and Calibration Raters will need to complete the calibration activities individually within the monitored group session. Therefore, the use of headphones is required. Passcodes change daily. Session proctors should ensure they have the correct passcode before beginning a monitored session. They will be ed out to the TELPAS Coordinators. 22

12 Monitored Calibration Sessions Raters must begin calibration with set 1. If successful, a certificate will be available in the scoring summary tab of the TELPAS Online Training Center. The certificate should be printed and turned in to the proctor. If raters are unsuccessful on set 1, they will be notified by the testing coordinator when a monitored session for set 2 will be held. Raters may not take both sets in the same day. 23 Monitored Calibration Sessions After completing a calibration set, raters immediately see their results and annotations explaining the correct ratings. Raters will need 1-2 hours to complete a calibration set. Raters must finish a calibration set once it is started. They will not be able to save their progress and return later to complete set. 24

13 Will raters be able to refer to any resources during calibration activities? What will be your procedure for collection and ensuring shredding? Yes, raters should use their rating rubrics (PLDs) and TELPAS Rater Manual, as needed. *Don t forget to have raters turn in their noted scratch paper! 25 What happens if a rater is unsuccessful in calibrating? CTC will document the score of the calibration and assign an additional qualified rater Rater will still rate students of record The additional qualified rater will also rate the students Both raters must sign the Rating ROster Individuals are not authorized to serve as raters unless they complete all required training components. 26

14 Recap of Calibration Process Calibration is conducted in monitored sessions. A passcode is required to access calibration. There are 2 calibration sets. Raters who successfully calibrate on set 1 are done. Raters who do not successfully calibrate on set 1 must complete set 2. Certificates must be printed and turned in to proctor. After completing the modules and practice activities for the K-1 or 2-12 online basic training course or the Assembling and Verifying Writing Collections course, a certificate of completion will be available in the scoring summary tab of the TELPAS online training center. After you have successfully calibrated, go to the scoring summary tab of the TELPAS Online Training Center to access a certificate. Print a copy and turn it in to the session proctor. 27 Rater Credentials Each teacher selected to rate and ELL must: 1. Have the student in class 2. Be knowledgeable about the student s ability to use English in instructional and informal setting for K-1 3. Hold valid education credentials such as a teacher certificate or permit 4. Be appropriately trained, as required by TEA 5. Rate the student in all eligible language domains 6. May include bilingual, ESL/ELL, general ed., Sp. Ed, G/T, and teachers or enrichment subjects Consider electives teachers at elementary. 28

15 TELPAS Rater Responsibilities A student s TELPAS rater is the teacher designated by the campus as the official rate of the student s English language proficiency. A kindergarten or 1st grade student s rater must rate the student in all domains for which the student is eligible. It is not permitted for a student to have on rater for some domains and another rater for another. 29 Raters with Students in Multiple Grade Clusters within Grades 2-12 Raters are required to train and calibrate in the cluster in which they have the most ELLs. As a best practice, these raters should also review online basic training course practice activities in the additional cluster. Grade Clusters Grades K-1 Grade 2 Grades 3-5 Grades 6-8 Grades 9-12 Example: A grade 2-5 ESL teacher has most of her ELLs in grade 3. She would complete the training course and calibration in Grades 3-5. As a best practice, she should review the online practice activities for grade 2 to check her readiness to apply the rubrics appropriately. 30

16 Raters with Students in Multiple Grade Clusters that Include Grades K-1 Because of differences in the instructional content and rating rubrics, these raters must complete training and calibration for K-1 and at least one other cluster in Raters with more than one additional clusters should train in the cluster in which they have the most ELLs. As a best practice, these raters should also review online basic training course practice activities in the additional cluster(s). 31 Raters with Students in Multiple Grade Clusters that Include Grades K-1 Example: A grade 2-5 ESL teacher has most of her ELLs in grade 2. He must complete training course and calibration in grades K-1 and 2. As a best practice, he should review the online practice activities for grades 3-5 to check his readiness to apply the rubrics appropriately for his 3rd grade students. 32

17 Rating Roster *Found at the back of the TELPAS Rater Manual *How will you structure rater collaboration? For validity and reliability purposes, raters should collaborate. They collaborating raters should sign where the roster says Additional Rater (if applicable) TELPAS Grades K-1 Holistically-rated, listening, speaking, reading, and writing assessments based on classroom observations and student interactions. Grades 2-12 Online multiple-choice reading test Holistically-rated students writing collection Holistically-rated listening & speaking assessments based on classroom observations and student interactions. 34

20 TELPAS Grade Clusters Reading Test Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4-5 Grade 5-6 Grade 8-9 Grade Listening & Speaking Test* DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR DENIALS! Grades 2-3 Grades 4-5 Grades 6-8 Grades 9-12 ***The listening and speaking test is one test, not two separate tests. 39 TELPAS Writing

21 Goal in Assembling Writing Collections To make sure the collections portray the students overall English language writing proficiency. 41 Some Eligible Types of Writing Basic descriptive writing on a persona/familiar topic Writing about a familiar process Writing that elicits use of past tense Personal narratives and reflective pieces Expository and other extended writing on a topic from language arts Expository or procedural writing from science, mathematics, and social studies MUST BE AUTHENTIC STUDENT WRITING 42

22 TELPAS Writing Samples TELPAS writing samples included in the collections should be taken from authentic classroom activities grounded in content area TEKS and ELPS. Collections should contain some papers in which students showcase English they know and feel comfortable using. Collections should also include papers in which students are stretched beyond their comfort zone so the collection shows that a student has not yet reached the next level (the student is beginning but not yet intermediate, intermediate but not yet advanced, advanced but not yet advanced high). 43 Samples Required At least 5 total samples are required in each collection. In each collection there must be: 1 writing sample from ELAR - Narrative which elicits the use of past tense 1 writing sample from ELAR - Narrative 1 writing sample from Math 1 writing sample from Science 1 writing sample from Social Studies Let s take a moment to think about what you will expect of your teachers? When will you bring this to their attention? Dates for collection of writing samples: February 12March 9 44

23 Papers NOT to Include Papers containing copied language Papers in which students rely heavily on resources (i.e. dictionary, thesaurus, etc.) Papers showing teacher comments and corrections Worksheets and question-answer assignments Papers that have been polished through editing with help from peers or teachers Papers written primarily in student s native language Papers that are brief, incomplete, or rushed 45 Verifiers The writing collection verifier must complete the verification checklist to ensure that: Each collection contains at least five total writing samples Each writing collection includes at least two academic writing samples from math, science, or social studies All writing samples include the student s name and date No samples come from before February 12,

24 Verifiers The writing collection verifier must complete the verification checklist to ensure that: No papers showing teacher corrections are included No worksheets or questions-answer assignments are included, and Each collection includes samples written primarily in English Collections that do not meet the requirements will be returned to the rater 47 Verifiers NOTE: The rater, is responsible for the assembling of the writing collections according to the criteria in the TELPAS manual. The rater, not the verifier, is solely responsible for ensuring writing samples are correct. 48

25 Verifiers Front Rater initials each box while collecting writing samples Back Verifier initials each box during verification window 49 TELPAS Online Testing Grades 2-12 online TELPAS reading tests and entry of holistic rating information are delivered through TestNav. Entering a student s holistic ratings does not require a student test ticket. Holistic rating session still need to be created before entering ratings information. After selecting the individual student in the Texas Assessment Management System a TestNav window will pop-up for designated personnel to enter ratings information. Start working now on finding accurate years in US schools. 50
