  6. Before Testing Training Receiving Inventory Distribution

  7. Before Testing All test administrators must receive Administration Code training. This training applies to all state-administered tests: K-PREP, EXPLORE, PLAN, ACT, COMPASS, EOCs and KOSSA. Staff designated to provide accommodations must also have the Inclusion of Special Populations training.

  8. Receiving Materials • Regular and accommodated test materials will arrive in the district by April 1, 15 or 29. • Test materials arrive in the district packaged by school. The pre-printed student response booklets will be sorted by grade in ascending alphabetical order. • Test materials will include an overage: • School will receive 5% • District will receive 3%

  9. Accommodated Materials A blank Student Response Booklet is no longer included in each kit. Students should use the pre-printed SRB that comes with the test materials. • Braille • Large-Print • Audio CD Districts will use Form 1 for both visually and hearing impaired students.

  10. Inventory Materials • Inventory materials as soon as possible upon receipt. • Keep original boxes. • Original boxes will be used to return test materials. • Request additional materials if needed. • Check district and school overage before placing an additional order. Note: Do not exchange test materials between schools in or out of the district in lieu of ordering additional materials.

  11. Test Book Security Barcode For all questions regarding test booklet security see the DAC/BAC Manual. K-PREP Test Booklet – Back Cover Each test booklet has a unique security barcode, located in the upper right corner of the back cover of the test booklet. Using this barcode, test booklets are assigned to specific schools. This provides an accurate means of tracking secure test booklets that are shipped to and returned from the school.

  12. DAC Materials Distribution • Distribution of materials should allow time for BACs to inventory and prepare for teacher distribution. • Test booklets housed in the BAC’s designated area or in classrooms must be double locked.

  13. BAC Materials Distribution • Shrink-wrapped packs can be split between classrooms, but the order of the test books should not be changed. • Test booklets should not be distributed to proctors until the first day of testing. • Ensure that each teacher receives adequate numbers of test books and the appropriate pre-printed Student Response Booklets (SRBs). • Remind teachers: • to follow TAM directions about names on test books • to ensure that each student receives his/her own test book and SRB for each testing session

  14. Student Honor Code

  15. Test Book Replacement Assign a new book of the same form as the original. The original test book should not be returned if damaged with bodily fluids. Contact Pearson to give student name, school grade, test security barcode (back), and form number. Then destroy according to local OSHA requirements.

  16. Student Response Booklet • Correct Pre-printed SRB • Use SRB as is • Incorrect Pre-printed SRB • Write VOID across SRB in permanent marker (to be returned on top of scorable materials). • Assign a new SRB with demographic information completed on front cover. • Enter correct information into IC and SDRR. • No Pre-printed SRB • Follow gridding instruction in the script portion of the TAM.

  17. Pre-Printed Demographics K-PREP Pre-Printed Demographics Pre-Printed Demographic Information This is how the demographic information will look on the pre-printed student response booklet. District / School Code

  18. Student Response Booklet • Do not assign a pre-printed SRB to another student. • Do not use mechanical pencils. Regular #2 pencils are to be used. • Do not use highlighters. • Do not use staples or glue.

  19. SRB Replacement • Grid all information including name, room number, form number, etc. • Transcribe answers into new SRB. • Enter the new serial number (front of SRB) into SDRR. • Void original SRB and return on top of scorable materials. SRBs soiled by bodily fluids should not be returned. Destroy the SRB according to OSHA requirements.

  20. Pre-Printed Student Response Book (SRB) Form Number S e r i a l Room Number Pre-printed info. (here) A c c o m

  21. Room Number • Bubbled on the SRB indicating the room where each student takes the test. • Zeros will need to be entered for any blank space for a room number. • If the room number is 9, the student will enter 0009. • If a classroom does not have a number assigned the school will need to assign one. • Letters can not be entered for a room number. 9= 0009 19= 0019 190= 0190

  22. Seating Charts • Seating charts are required for both individual and group testing. Room location must be recorded on the student response booklet. • A single chart can be used for multiple sessions; if seating arrangement and room location do not change, mark the date for each session.

  23. During Testing Scheduling Test Materials

  24. Who Takes the K-PREP? Required to Test Not Required to Test Students in the Alternate K-PREP Student’s skipped grade Foreign Exchange students Students with medical or extraordinary circumstances exemptions • Students in grades 3-8 and 10-11, including those with disabilities • Students who are retained • Students who move during testing • Students with a minor medical emergency • EL students in their first year are required to attempt mathematics and science (four multiple-choice or one extended response). • EL students in their second year and later participate in all content areas.

  25. K-PREP Scheduling • Testing is to be 5 consecutive days during the last 14 instructional days of the district calendar. • The 5 days are to be done by school level (elementary, middle, high), not by separate grade levels. • Any day a regular test session is scheduled is considered one of the 5 testing days even if only one session is done on that day.

  26. K-PREP Scheduling • Additional time has been incorporated directly into the time allowed for testing. • All students in a grade/school must take each part of the test at the same time. • Each part is to be given as a separate session with a break in between. Allow for breaks when developing schedule. • Breaks may be short (i.e., stand and stretch) or long (i.e. lunch) with appropriate monitoring.

  27. K-PREP Scheduling • Extended time is allowed only for students with IEPs, 504s, or PSPs specifying extended time. • Make arrangements for the extended time in a manner that allows other students to go back to instructional activities. At the end of the day, students with regular and extended time need to have finished the same parts of the test.

  28. Sample 2013 K-PREP Elementary (3-5)Testing Schedule Make-ups can be scheduled any time during the 5 day window for students who miss a test session. Make-ups for those who missed days near the end of the 5 day schedule may be scheduled within 4 days after the window ends.

  29. Sample 2013 K-PREP Middle School (6-8)Testing Schedule Make-ups can be scheduled any time during the 5 day window for students who miss a test session. Make-ups for those who missed days near the end of the 5 day schedule may be scheduled within 4 days after the window ends.

  30. Sample2013 K-PREP High School (10-11) Testing Schedule • Grade 10 and 11 On-Demand Writing should be scheduled for one or two days of testing to complete both parts. Each grade can use different or same days within the 5 day window. • Make-ups for those who missed days near the end of the 5 day schedule may be scheduled within 4 days after the window ends.

  31. Make-up Schedule • Make-up sessions can be done during the 5-day window or during the 4 days after the window ends while test materials are prepared for shipping. • It is recommended to schedule a make-up session as soon as is reasonably possible after the missed test session. • Seating charts are required for make-up sessions.

  32. Test Forms There is one operational form (items that are included) for accountability. The difference in the forms are the pre-test items.

  33. K-PREP Scoring Guides

  34. K-PREP On-Demand Writing Scoring Criteria

  35. Approved Resource Materials No scratch paper used for ODW.

  36. On-Demand Pre-writing Area Pre-write is done in the Test Booklet. It is not scored.

  38. Reference Sheets • Mathematics Reference Sheet • Grades 7 and 8 • Writer’s Reference Sheet • Grades 5, 6, 8, 10, and 11 Both reference sheets are provided by Pearson and are included in the test materials shipments.

  39. Reference Sheets

  40. Rulers • Rulers are provided by Pearson and are included in the test materials shipments. These rulers must be used for testing. • The rulers may not be modified. • The ruler may be kept and used after testing is completed. Protractors and Angle rulers are to be available for grades 4 and 7. These are NOT provided by Pearson.

  41. Rulers • Grade 3 1\4- inch and centimeter increments • Grades 4-6 1\8- inch and centimeter increments • Grades 7 and 8 1\16- inch and centimeter increments

  42. Calculator Use Policy • Permitted Calculators • The use of calculators in Part C of the Mathematics Test is prohibited. For parts that allow calculators, you may use any four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator, unless it has features described in the Prohibited Calculatorslist bellow. For models on the Calculators Permitted with Modification list, you will be required to modify some of the calculator's features. • Prohibited Calculators • The following types of calculators are prohibited: Calculators with built-in computer algebra systems • Prohibited calculators in this category include: • Texas Instruments: All model numbers that begin with TI-89 or TI-92 and the TI-Nspire CAS—Note: The TI-Nspire (non-CAS) is permitted. • Hewlett-Packard: HP 48GII and all model numbers that begin with HP 40G, HP 49G, or HP 50G • Casio: Algebra fx 2.0, ClassPad 300 and ClassPad 330, and all model numbers that begin with CFX-9970G • Handheld, tablet, or laptop computers, including PDAs • Electronic writing pads or pen-input devices—Note: The Sharp EL 9600 is permitted. • Calculators built into cell phones or any other electronic communication devices • Calculators with a typewriter keypad (letter keys in QWERTY format)—Note: Letter keys not in QWERTY format are permitted. • Calculators Permitted with Modification • The following types of calculators are permitted, but only after they are modified as follows • Calculators with paper tape—Remove the tape. • Calculators that make noise—Turn off the sound. • Calculators with an infrared data port—Completely cover the infrared data port with heavy opaque material such as duct tape or electrician's tape (includes Hewlett-Packard HP 38G series, HP 39G series, and HP 48G). • Calculators that have power cords—Remove all power/electrical cords. • Programs • Programs, such as ZoomMath are not considered to be a computer algebra system (CAS) and may be used but only if the program or application is loaded onto a permitted calculator. Programs that are computer algebraic systems are prohibited.

  43. Non-Standard Response • Printed word-processed answer must fit in the answer box. • Trim around and tape response to appropriate area in the SRB. • Tape at least the 4 corners using clear desk tape. • Do not cover other answers, bar codes, or timing tracks with tape.

  44. This is where the typed test will go. It will be trimmed around so that it fits completely inside the black box allowed for each test question. The template allows only enough space to complete the question while remaining inside the allowable space. The template can be downloaded from the KDE webpage. Tape must be on the corners of the text being inserted but not covering multiple choice answers, barcodes or timing tracks. Place clear desk tape at least on the four corners of the printed response so the pages are securely in place and will not move around when the booklet is moved, opened, closed, packaged or during shipping. This will ensure proper scoring will occur.

  45. After Testing Rosters Exemptions Shipping

  46. K-PREP Rosters The Student Data Review and Reporting (SDRR) application is used to collect K-PREP student rosters, request exemptions and data review.
