  1. LEAP, GEE, and LAA 2 TRAINING MATERIALS SUMMER 2011 RETEST These reproducible training materials can be used for training School Test Coordinators and test administrators for the summer 2011 retest. Additional copies of these training materials may be printed from LDOE’s Web site at www.louisianaschools.net or from https://la.drcedirect.com.

  2. Important Dates forSummer Retest M= Materials Delivery T= Testing P= District Pickup * Students who need to retest in GEE or LAA 2 Mathematics and/or English Language Arts and Science and Social Studies (three or more tests) should take the Science test on Friday, July 1 and the Social Studies test on Tuesday, July 5.

  3. Summer Retest Materials Delivery • All test materials (LEAP, GEE, and LAA 2, including large print and braille) will arrive at the district Monday–Wednesday, June 6–8. • School Test Coordinators must submit requests for additional materials to the District Test Coordinator no later than the morning of Tuesday, June 14. • Any additional materials requested will be sent via UPS ground service and will take three days to get to the district. All orders received after 1:00 p.m. will be processed the next business day.

  4. Test Administrator System • The Test Administrator System (part of LEAPweb)is refreshed for summer testing, which means that all previous names and numbers have been removed. • From Monday, June 6–Tuesday, July 5, School Test Coordinators must enter and assign TA numbers to all LEAP and GEE test administrators via the Test Administrator System. • Test administrators must use their assigned number for all LEAP and GEE tests they administer. • The summer administration of LAA 2 will not use TA numbers.

  5. Summer Remediation Field on All Answer Documents • Field H1 needs to be coded for any student who participated in summer remediation provided by the school or the district. • The principal should verify that this field is properly completed so students will get credit for the summer remediation program and the Department will be able to gather more accurate data.

  6. ALERTS FOR TEST COORDINATORS

  7. General Alerts • School Test Coordinators (STCs) must assign TA numbers Monday, June 6–Tuesday, July 5 andverify that all LEAP and GEE used documents have a TA number coded in field H2. Failure to code the TA number could result in a testing irregularity. • Security checklists must be used to track materials. Electronic copies are available on www.LEAPweb.org. Be sure to indicate on the checklists which unused answer documents received Test Not Taken labels. • STCs must use the provided plastic bags for the return of LEAP and GEE approved home study program and LEAP nonpublic school students’ answer documents to the District Test Coordinator (DTC). Nonpreidentified bar-code labels from testing sites must not be affixed to answer documents for these students; the DTC will affix nonpreidentified labels with site code 998 or 999 after testing as needed. • STCs must return district office documents (security checklist copies, testing irregularities documentation, the Oath of Security and Confidentiality Statement) in the provided envelope. The DTC should return the envelope for subsequent pickups as needed. • STCs must provide test administrators a list of students approved for accommodations, as well as the accommodations the students are to receive. • When testing students approved for accommodations, test administrators must make sure that they provide the assigned accommodations and code the provided accommodations on the students’ answer documents.

  8. Coding Alerts To comply with federal mandates, there are now three new fields on all answer documents. • Field G1 (Are you Hispanic/Latino?) and G2 (Race) • Students will be instructed to code both fields during testing. • For G1, students will code Yes or No. • For G2, students may mark all races that apply. • Field S for LAA 2 and V for LEAP and GEE (Student Receives Services Under McKinney-Vento Act) • The principal must code this field on answer documents for students receiving services under the McKinney-Vento Act (homeless students). • All persons involved in testing should be aware that this is confidential information.

  9. Packaging Alerts • When packaging materials for return, stack secure materials according to security numbers. This will aid in verifying materials against security checklists. • Pickups 1 and 2: Used answer documents for more than one grade or content area may be boxed together but must be stacked by grade and by content area. • Pickups 2 and 3: The School Test Coordinator at a testing site may box LEAP and GEE materials together, but LAA 2 materials must be boxed separately. • Pickup 3: Test booklets must be boxed separately from unused answer documents, but materials for more than one grade and content area may be boxed together. Return large-print and braille test booklets in their original shipping boxes. Make sure to return braille instructions.

  10. Online Surveys • Printed comment sheets are no longer provided. • Starting this year, all comments for LEAP, GEE, and LAA 2 testing will be collected online at https://la.drcedirect.com. • This URL can also be found in the Test Administration Manuals and the Test Coordinators Manual. • Be sure School Test Coordinators and test administrators are aware of the new online surveys. • Comments are 100% anonymous.

  11. Online Survey Windows • LEAP/GEE: TBD • LAA 2: TBD • Available through eDIRECT: https://la.drcedirect.com

  12. Distributing District Overage Answer Documents (LEAP/GEE Only) Before distributing a district overage answer document (or an answer document requested from DRC as additional test material) to a particular testing site, the District Test Coordinator must affix a summer site-code label to the back page. NOTE: For LAA 2, there will be no district overage and no site-code labels.

Sample LEAP/GEE Testing Site Security Checklist • The LEAP/GEE checklist includes a summary and a detailed list of secure materials assigned to a testing site. • Electronic security checklists are available online at www.LEAPweb.org. • There is a blank page at the end of the checklist to record security numbers of additional materials. • Keep originals on file at the school and copies at the district for one year. Do not return to DRC.

  21. Sample LEAP Student/Label Roster LEAP students identified as needing to retest will receive a preidentified label for English Language Arts and/or Mathematics. These columns indicate the identified content areas in which students need to retest. Complete this information for students who do not receive preidentified labels. Record the numbers from the nonpreidentified bar-code labels affixed to their answer documents.

  22. Sample GEE Student/Label Roster GEE students identified as needing to retest will receive a preidentified label for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and/or Science/Social Studies.
