Security, Incidents, non-ParticipationSlide30
SECURITY
Make
sure TIDE has correct accommodations/ supports and TA knows what they are and VERIFIES all are correct BEFORE testing
(Suggestions- communication, ideas?)
TA should ensure that computers are not available to students who have completed a test while other students are testing.
(Suggestions- turn off monitor, put
chromebook
under desk)
DOE considers possession of a device to be the same as accessing
(Turn & Talk- how you collect, note: report even if see in pocket)
See clarification on instructional vs. Motivational material on wall
(Suggestion: Daily walk day before and day of in testing rooms)Slide31
Instructional Materials
For all DeSSA assessments …
The
general rule is no instructive materials, for any content area, during testing, even for content areas outside of the area being tested. We will edit next year's TAM to be more clear and not contradictory.
31Slide32
Instructional Materials
To prevent problems due to interpretation of what is 'encouraging,' we give the advice to remove everything.
However
, if a school wishes to have encouraging posters, the examples below would all be acceptable. PBS poster of classroom expectations the school pledge postera welcome sign near the door or a sports team related poster that says “Go Eagles” or “Go Phillies” (Note: No Cowboys or Redskins posters
.)
“mindfulness” posters

Test Administration Window: April
16 - June 1Social Studies Field Test Administration Window: May 7 - June 1Test administrators deliver the online field test to students.Benchmarking the process of using field test student responses to define the range of performance levels within each score point of a test item. Delaware educators arrive at consensus while scoring to the standard established by the rubric, so training sets can be built accurately reflecting those standards. This process ensure that teacher committees set the parameters for acceptable scores on a constructed response item. Approximately 25-30 educators will be involved in this activity in June 2018.
Scoring
Scoring of each student response using the benchmarked anchor papers as a guide for training the scorers. Occurs in July 2018.
