Test Administration Schedule (cont.)

The FCAT 2.0 Reading Retake must be conducted over two days. Students have half of a typical school day to complete Session 1 and half of a typical school day to complete Session 2. Students MUST complete Session 1 before beginning Session 2, even for make-up administrations.

The FCAT Mathematics Retake is untimed; however, testing must not extend beyond the end of a school day.For the NGSSS Algebra 1 Retake, Biology 1, U.S. History EOC Assessment administrations, any student not finished by the end of the 160-minute test session may continue working; however, testing must be completed within the same school day.

What’s NewTestNav 8

Beginning with the Winter 2014 administration, all computer-based FCAT, FCAT 2.0, and NGSSS EOC assessments will be administered using the TestNav 8 platform. Please see www.FLAssessments.com/TestNav8 for technical specifications and resources for this new platform

.Some features that were previously accommodations are now available for all students in the TestNav 8 platform. These features include color contrast, increase/decrease text size, and zoom. A magnifier tool

and line reader tool are also available for all students.

The login information on Student Authorization Tickets and the Session Roster has been updated to reflect the Sign In screen in TestNav 8.

The Login ID has been changed to Username and the Test Code had been changed to Password.

5Slide6

What’s NewAccommodations

Accommodations are no longer required to be recorded in PearsonAccess for computer-based tests. However, for students testing with paper-based materials, accommodations still must be recorded on student grid sheets.Schools must maintain records of accommodations provided and accommodations used with their required administration information.

6Slide7

What’s NewTechnology Coordinator Resources

Information and instructions for technology coordinators to follow before, during, and after testing are now provided at www.FLAssessments.com/TestNav8.Technology coordinators must familiarize themselves with all information at this site prior to the beginning of test administration.

There is no separate Technology Coordinator Guide for this administration. Instead, technology coordinators should review the information and resources at the location indicated above.

7Slide8

What’s NewUniversal Agreements for 2014-2015 Statewide Assessments

School assessment coordinators, test administrators, proctors, and any other school personnel who have received appropriate training in the administration of Florida’s statewide assessments and who have already signed Test Administration and Security Agreements for the 2014–2015 school year are not required to sign a new agreement for this administration.Test administrators who have already signed a Test Administrator Prohibited Activities Agreement for the 2014–2015 school year are not required to sign a new agreement for this administration.

Glossary of Terms

Proctor Caching (cont.)The Spring 2015 Pearson FCAT/FCAT 2.0/EOC NGSSS test administrations will utilize a new version of TestNav8. Schools using mobile devices and the Google Chrome browser need to take additional steps to ensure they are ready for spring testing. These steps should be completed prior to running a Pearson Infrastructure Trial. Mobile Devices: The TestNav 8 update will require an app update for tablet users. The TestNav 8.02 app is available for download in your specific

 device application store.Java Updates: Java will have two releases prior to the Spring 2015 Administration; 1/20 and 4/14.

 Technology coordinators should be aware of these releases and update Java on student computers prior to testing or disable Java update prompts.

PreID Student Labels

FCAT/FCAT 2.0 Retake and NGSSS Algebra 1 EOC Retake Wave 1 PreID file is based on student information as of January 30 and NGSSS EOCs Wave 1 PreID file is based on student information as of February 27Note: PreID student labels and roster will be based on Wave 1.

Before applying PreID labels to student answer documents:Verify that the student is still enrolled and will be tested.

Verify the information on the PreID roster against the school’s student information database.FIVE

elements MUST be correct on a student PreID label:

Student name

Student ID number

District numberSchool numberGrade level

Destroy labels in a secure manner if ANY of this information is incorrect.

If any other preidentified information (e.g., date of birth) is

incorrect

, use the PreID label 37Slide38

PreID Student Labels (cont.)

If the student name, student ID number, district number, school number, OR grade level is INCORRECT on a USED answer document, the student must, under the supervision of the test administrator, transfer his or her exact responses into a replacement answer document.The test administrator must grid the DNS bubble on a book that contains an incorrect label and return it with all other NOT TO BE SCORED materials.The test administrator must then grid the correct student information on the replacement document.If any student information is missing from a student label that has been affixed to a test and answer book, add the information by gridding the appropriate bubbles on the student grid sheet.

Incorrect information on a student label CANNOT be corrected in this manner.Do not use a preidentified document for any student other than the student for whom it is preidentified.

38Slide39

Sample PreID Student Label

Affix the label in the box in the lower left corner of the student grid sheet.Do not remove labels once they have been affixed.Do not place a label over another label.39Slide40

Student Demographic Information

The student grid sheet captures student demographic information.A document is preidentified if it has a student label affixed.Blank student grid sheets (non-preidentified) must be gridded using a No. 2 pencil.

For more information about specific demographic fields, see page 12 of the Spring 2015 CBT Manual.

40Slide41

Test Invalidation

Remember that the purpose of invalidation is to identify when the validity of test results has been compromised.If a situation described in the Test Invalidation Policies and Procedures section on pages 26–27 of the manual occurs, test administrators should discuss the situation with the school assessment coordinator, and the situation should be investigated immediately. Instructions for how to invalidate tests in PearsonAccess can be found on pages 141

–142 of the Spring 2015 CBT Manual.

41Slide42

Defective Materials,DNS and UNDO Bubbles

If a defective test and answer book is identified before testing begins, the student should be given a replacement document and the defective document should be returned with all other NOT TO BE SCORED materials. If a DNS bubble has been gridded by mistake, erase the DNS bubble and grid the UNDO bubble. Package the document with TO BE SCORED materials.

The DNS bubble MUST be gridded if any of the following circumstances offer:The test and answer book is defective and

USED.A

student name

,

student ID number

, district number, school number, OR grade level is INCORRECT on a label affixed to a USED book.A student label has been placed over another student label on a USED book.

42Slide43

Defective Materials,DNS and UNDO Bubbles

If a student discovers that a document is defective during testing, the student must be given a replacement and must, under close supervision, transcribe the exact responses from the defective document into the replacement when the test session is over.If the defective document has a student label, do not remove the label. Grid all information on the student grid sheet of the replacement document.

Grid the DNS bubble on the defective USED book and return it with all other NOT TO BE SCORED materials.Under the following circumstances, it is NOT necessary to grid the DNS bubble if the document has been packaged properly for return with all other NOT TO BE SCORED materials:

The preidentified test and answer book belongs to a student who has withdrawn before testing begins.

The preidentified book belongs to a student who was absent during the entire testing window.

The book is defective and UNUSED.

The preidentified information is incorrect and the book is UNUSED.

43Slide44

Enrollment Information/Testing History
