  5. Testing Windows for 2013-14

  6. Missed Testing Windows • Make-Up Tests • If a student missed test window 1 after the December 13 deadline, a make-up test may be given. Please contact Kevin O’Hair and provide the following information: • Reason window was missed (may include new to district, late placement in Alternate Assessment or medical conditions that prevented assessment during window 1) • When the school/district plans to administer the make-up test (from start to finish) • Confirmation that student has not tested in another district (KDE can assist with this information)

  7. Non-participation • Non-participation should be filed during the spring K-PREP window in SDRR. • A non-participation should only be filed for reasons that meet the criteria for a medical condition or extraordinary circumstance. • If a non-participation is denied and no test is submitted a zero will be applied. • Non-participation should be filed early during the non-participation window; if a non-participation is denied there still may be time to complete a make-up test.

  8. Assessment Training Dates • Combined Overview/Attainment Tasks (AT) • Online Training available August 19 – October 18. • If a teacher in the district has not completed the AT training please contact Kevin O’Hair • NOTE: No tasks may be administered until training has been completed. • Transition Attainment Record (TAR) • Online Training available September 16 – May 23. CLOSED

  11. Attainment Tasks (AT) • Attainment Tasks are provided for reading, mathematics, science, social studies and writing. Materials were shipped to districts for window 1 in binders. • Window 2 materials will ship loosely, materials will be added to binders from window 1. • Copies can be made of the original tasks so that adaptations to the materials can occur. Make sure that the originals remain intact.

  12. Attainment Tasks • Schools receive 1 binder per school (if an Alternate Assessment student is identified there in IC). All school level materials should be destroyed at the end of each window. • DACs receive 1 binder with all tasks grades 3-12. • District copies should be kept until end of the school year.

  13. Transition Attainment Record (TAR) • Still assessed at grades 8, 10 and 11 (Alternate for ACT Explore at grade 8, ACT Plan at grade 10, and The ACT at grade 11). • One member from the Admissions and Release Committee (ARC) or the Transition Team must be trained to complete. • TAR can be downloaded or printed after the quiz has been completed. Teacher may print TAR and share with members. • TAR scores are submitted online.

  14. Grade 12 Grade 11 TAR • Available for grade 12 students who did not meet benchmark in Reading or Mathematics • reading- 19 • mathematics-16 • No science assessment required at grade 12 • Reminder: TAR meets CCR requirements for Alternate Assessment students.

  15. Grade 14 Grade 11 TAR • If a student plans to stay beyond the grade 12 assessment, they should be coded as grade 14 in IC. • Grade 14 students who have not met the benchmark for the TAR may take the grade 11 TAR assessment again to assist them in meeting the required scores for CCR readiness.

  16. Graduation Codes • Districts should NOT assign students a Graduation Code until they age out at 21 or they officially exit the program. • Since grade 14 students are not pulled through IC, any student being administered the TAR at grade 14 must be registered in the SRD by the district.

  17. Student Registration Database (SRD) https://hdi.uky.edu/kaap/LoginPage.aspx

  18. SRD DAC Access: • View all teacher score entries • Change student information • Add/Remove student accounts • Usernames and passwords were sent out to DACs or those with DAC level access the week of October 28. • GRADE 12 and 14 accounts available to be opened at district request.

  19. SRD Teacher Access • Apply student scores for both test windows 1 and 2. • Enter TAR results for students in grades 8, 10 and 11. • Provide Learner Characteristics Inventory (LCI) information for students (3 questions regarding communication status.) REQUIRED

  20. AT Materials After Testing • Nothing ships back from district. • After all tasks are administered, materials should be returned to the DAC or BAC. • DAC should (or may assign someone) to shred all school level ATs that have been administered. • This process should occur at the conclusion of Test Windows 1 and 2. • District copies should not be destroyed.

  21. AAAF Requirements • Requirements for the Alternate Assessment and Accountability Folder (AAAF) are almost identical to last year. • AAAF Information is provided in each Alternate Assessment E-mail distributed. • District Administrators may review the contents of the AAAF as part of the monitoring process if the district chooses too. http://education.ky.gov/AA/distsupp/kprep/Pages/AltAAAF.aspx

  23. District Monitoring Process • Monitoring is not mandatory but definitely encouraged as KDE will review folders for 2013-14. • Verify the following: • Administration Code and Inclusion of Special Populations trainings have occurred. • Training completed for Combined Overview/Attainment Tasks. • A signed Code of Ethics. • Student assessment occurred one to one. • Appropriate accommodations were provided. • Instructional materials were provided (work samples for each standard).

  24. Optional District Checklist

  25. State Monitoring Process • Random selections are made by the Office of Assessment and Accountability. • May ask to view a select number or all of the AAAF folders from the school or district. • Review of the AAAF Components will verify the materials that must be included. • Insufficient evidence could result in the lowering of school/district scores. • Reviews conducted in 2013 were shared with the districts via a feedback sheet provided by KDE.
