  2. Test Examiner Booklet • The Test Examiner Booklet contains the “Say” and “Do” statements that provide a standardized script to follow when administering an assessment task. • The information/script in Test Examiner Booklet should only be seen by the Test Examiner and should not be seen by the student. 2.0 Note: The Test Examiner Booklet should not be in the student’s line of sight.

  3. Sample Task 1- Scenario

  5. Sample Task 1– Scenario Student Booklet

  6. Part A • Low complexity content • The most basic presentation of the GSEs and Extended Standards • May assess pre-requisite skills • Basic text and simplified graphics help to support understanding at this level • Two answer options are provided at this level; most answer options include graphics

  7. Sample Task 1 - Part A Part A: Low complexity content/High support

  8. Sample Task 1 - Part A Scaffolding Part A: Scaffolding Example If the student responds to Part A by selecting answer option B, record the student’s response and then present Part B. If the student responds to Part A by selecting answer option A, record the student’s response, provide the scaffolding below, and then ask the question again. If the student does not respond to Part A, record “no response,” provide the scaffolding below, and then ask the question again.

Sample Task 1 – Part A Student Booklet Grade and content Task number, part, and graphic number within the part • Response options should only be cut apart if there is a disability-based need to do so. • Response options should be placed on the work surface exactly as they appear in the Test Examiner Booklet. Code to help track materials if cut apart

  11. Part B • Moderate complexity content • Represents an entry-level skill • Features simple text with some academic language • 3 answer options • Graphics may be more academic in nature than those provided for Part A

  23. Indicating a Response Students should use the same response mode used during classroom instruction for this assessment. Accept any response mode.

  24. Student Response Document • Record the student’s response and whether the response required scaffolding.  • Once the Test Examiner has completed the administration of the assessment, the student's responses will be entered into Nextera TDS.  • Validation Form for Transcription of Answer Documentscertification must be signed by the Test Examiner and a GaPSC certified witness. • The Student Response Document is the official test record and must be treated as such. • All Student Response Documents must be returned with all other secure documents.

  25. Student Response Document • The Test Examiner will record the student’s response on the Student Response Document. • Record the answer choice that corresponds with the student's response or select “NR” if the student does not respond.  • If provided, scaffolding must be read exactly as written in the Test Examiner Booklet.

  26. Transcribe Student Responses in Nextera, the online system Once the assessment is complete, the Test Examiner will use the completed Student Response Document to enter the student’s responses into the online system, Nextera TDS.

  27. Stopping Rule • Test Examiners are expected to follow the script from beginning to end for All students. • Test Examiners may implement the stopping rule after ALL PARTS of two tasks have been administered to those students who do not have an established communication system. • The absence of a communication system must be documented. • The stopping rule should not be applied based on a student’s behavior, frustration level, or knowledge of the content.

  28. Stopping Rule • It is important that each student have an opportunity to attempt the assessment, even if the Test Examiner believes the student will not respond. • Every student is different with varying ability to stay on task. Test Examiners may pause testing to take a break at any time, planned or unplanned. • The assessment is not timed and can be paused for a variety of reasons, including refusal, frustration, lack of engagement, etc. The Test Examiner may pause and resume the administration as often as necessary during the entire administration window.

  29. Stopping Rule • For students who do not have an established communication system, the stopping rule provides a standardized procedure for Test Examiners to stop testing. • Test Examiners may implement the stopping rule after ALL PARTS of two tasks have been administered. • Complete the following steps: • Report the situation to the School Test Coordinator. • Under the student’s profile in Nextera Admin, the System Test Coordinator or School Test Coordinator will update the Status Code to ‘Stopping Rule’.
