11 Rater Manual Page 1 General Information about TELPAS The assessment components for grades K 1 and 2 12 include the following: Grades K 1 holistically rated observational assessments of listening, speaking, reading, and writing Grades 2 12 multiple-choice online reading tests in six grade clusters: 2, 3, 4 5, 6 7, 8 9, and holistically rated student writing collections holistically rated observational assessments of listening and speaking Students answers to the reading tests, ratings from the holistically rated assessments, and all other student data are submitted through the TELPAS Assessment Management System. The instructions in this manual explain the responsibilities of raters for the spring 2017.

12 DCCM page T30- T31 If an ELL enrolls in a Texas public school BEFORE March 6, the receiving campus is responsible for ALL TELPAS assessments. If an ELL enrolls ON or AFTER March 6, the receiving campus is only responsible for the grades 2-12 reading test. Sending campuses are responsible for submitting holistic ratings of students who were enrolled before March 6 but withdraw before the close of the testing window.

13 Rater Manual Page 9 Have the student in class at the time of the spring assessment window; Be knowledgeable about the student s ability to use English in instructional and informal settings; Hold valid education credentials such as a teacher certificate or permit; Be appropriately trained in the holistic rating process as required by the TELPAS administration materials in accordance with 19 TAC, Chapter 101; and Rate the student in all eligible language domains.

14 Rater Manual Page 21 Verifiers can not serve as raters. Verifiers should complete the Assembling and Verifying online training. The writing collection verifier must complete the verification checklist in Appendix C to ensure that Collections that do not meet the requirements will be returned to the rater. Once the collection meets the above requirements, the verifier will initial and sign the verification checklist on the reverse side of the writing collection cover sheet. This affirms that the writing collection has been assembled correctly, as described above.

17 This course is for new raters and raters who have never completed the online basic training. Returning raters who have not completed calibration activities within the last three school years are required to complete the online basic course before calibrating. It provides instruction on using the PLD rubrics and gives raters practice rating students in each language domain. There are separate courses for K 1 and Once you have completed all modules in the K-1 online basic training course, you will be provided a certificate of completion. Submit a copy to your campus TC. For 2-12, once you have completed all modules, please sign the Holistic Online Verification Roster (see your campus TC). You may not proceed to calibration until you have completed the online basic training course and been assigned to a monitored calibration session by your campus. Online calibration must be completed by ALL raters, both new and returning, in a monitored setting. Raters use the PLDs to rate students in each language domain. Raters have two opportunities to calibrate on assigned grade cluster. Failure to pass calibration will not excuse you from rating. For K 1, each set contains 10 students to be rated. You must rate at least 70 percent of the students correctly within a set to demonstrate sufficient calibration. For all other grade clusters, each set contains 12 students to be rated. You must rate at least 67 percent of the students correctly within a set to demonstrate sufficient calibration.

18 Raters must know their assigned grade cluster to select the appropriate online training. Raters should consult with their campus coordinator if they are unsure of their assigned cluster. Elementary Grade Clusters Grades K 1 Grade 2 Grades 3 5 Secondary Grade Clusters Grades 6 8 Grades 9 12 Raters must begin with calibration 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 testing coordinator when monitored session for set 2 will be held. The rater must study at least a day before attempting another online calibration. After completing a calibration set, raters immediately see 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 the set.

20 Yes, raters should use their rating rubrics (PLDs) and TELPAS Rater Manual, as needed. Any notes taken during calibration should be done on the scratch paper provided and not in the TELPAS manual. At the end of each calibration session, all notes taken by raters must be turned into the proctor and destroyed. Two outcomes are possible for individuals who complete the calibration activities but are not successful: The district may choose not to assign the individual to be a TELPAS rater. If the individual is needed to serve as a rater, the district must implement rater support procedures to ensure that the rater s students are evaluated consistent with the rating rubrics. Individuals are not authorized to serve as raters unless they complete all required training components.

21 Once you have completed all modules in the online basic training course, you will sign the holistic verification training log provided by your campus test coordinator. 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. It is a violation of state assessment procedures to share or discuss answers to the rating practice activities with individuals who have not yet completed the course. TELPAS testing violations must be reported as indicated in the Test Security and Confidentiality Requirements section at the front of this manual.
