Colorado Measures
of Academic
Success (CMAS):
SCIENCE AND SOCIAL
STUDIES
Test Administrator Training
Overview of CMAS:
Science and Social Studies
Assessments
Why CMAS?
• Colorado Academic Standards (CAS)
– The expectations of what students need to know
– Measures critical skills and knowledge our students
need
What is a “Standardized”
Assessment?
• All students have the same test content, resources,
directions, testing conditions, and scoring procedures.
• A score obtained by one student in one part of Colorado
will mean the same as the same score obtained by
another student in a different part of the state.

such as speech-to-text or 504 plan that may not be compatible
with TestNav8
– Will provide oral or written responses in a language other than
English or Spanish
29
Modifications =
Misadministration
• Requiring a student to be assessed on less content matter than
other students because he has been taught less material
• Reducing the scope of assessments so a student needs to
complete only a limited number of problems or items
• Modifying the complexity of assessments to make them easier
• Giving hints, clues, or other coaching that directs the student to
correct responses on assignments and tests
• Adults defining vocabulary on the test or explaining test items
• Allowing the student to complete an assessment of English
language arts in a language other than English
• Using dictionaries that provide definitions (rather than acceptable
word-to-word dual-language dictionary)

ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Ethical Responsibilities
 I understand that the purpose of the CMAS exam is to measure at what
level a student is meeting the Colorado Academic Standards at their
grade level.
 I understand my role in standardized testing is to allow students to work
independently without my help.
 I understand that I must follow the rules of standardization in order for
the students that I am proctoring to receive a score.
 I understand that the district analyzes unusual CMAS scores trends as
well as erasure analysis to ensure that all DPS test scores are valid.
 I understand that I must perform my professional responsibilities with
honesty, integrity, due care, and fairness.
Ethical Practices and
CMAS
•
•
•
•
•
•
Teach to the standards, not the test
Never use items from test books for test preparation
Never share or alter student responses
Do not coach or clue students during test administration
Provide all approved accommodations
In order to maintain standardization, test administrators must
make sure that their students have the same CMAS testing
experience as all of the other students who are taking the same
exam.
Potential Consequences of
Misadministrations
or Unethical Behavior
Test invalidations of any kind:
• May affect school and district accountability reports such
as SPF in the future.
• May affect compensation and evaluation determinations.
• May also result in disciplinary actions including, but not
limited to, reprimand, suspension, dismissal, and loss of
license NOW.

Test Security Policies
4. REVIEW TEST SECURITY POLICIES
Security is ensuring that there is no reproduction of any test
materials. This includes memorization, photocopying, note taking,
photographing, scanning, encoding, text messaging, sign language,
Morse code, blogging or using other forms of social networking to
share information.
• Do NOT make copies of any portion of the TCAP exams.
• Do NOT copy, by any means, any student work that results from this
assessment.
• Do NOT look at the test prior to testing and prep students on what will be
tested. (Released items are okay to share with students)
• Do NOT share student’s responses with anyone verbally, through the internet,
or in written format.
• Do NOT attempt to score a student’s test before returning the materials.
Security of Testing
Materials
• CMAS materials may be checked out by test proctors 15 minutes prior to
testing and must be returned to the secure room within 15 minutes after
testing is completed.
• CMAS testing materials cannot be stored in classrooms before and after
testing.
• Proctors should not be reviewing or studying items or student responses
• Proctors should ensure they have enough for the scheduled sessions.
• For paper-based tests, DO NOT clean up booklets for stray erasure marks or
darken bubbles after student have finished testing.
• Test Administrators may see the Oral Scripts up to 24 hours before the testing
window (48 hours for those doing translation accommodations).
• This must be done in the presence of the SAL.
• The materials cannot be checked out for translation.
Before Testing:
Secure Materials Handling
Paper-Based Secure Test Materials:
• Non-scannable test books: Students taking large print or braille version of the
paper-based assessment will use non-scannable test books.
• Scannable test books: Students taking the paper-based assessment will use a
combined test and answer document.
• Source books: For social studies assessments, students will also have a source
booklet containing necessary sources for certain items. Students will be
specifically directed to the pertinent sources by item.
• Scratch paper: Test administrators must supply one piece of scratch paper to
each student at the start of each section. Students may exchange for a clean
piece of paper during the test section, but are allowed only one sheet at a
time. All scratch paper must be collected at the end of the section.
• Oral scripts: Oral scripts are accommodated materials available for use with
students with disabilities and ELLs.
• Pre-ID Labels: Student names (affix label)
45
Before Testing:
Secure Materials Handling Cont.
SALs must print the following secure materials through
PearsonAccess, which can be printed up to one week prior to
testing:
• Student Authorization Tickets. Each test session will have a unique
Test Code for each student that will be printed on Student
Authorization Tickets. Students will be prompted to enter the Test
Code to access the test via TestNav (the browser-based application
used to administer CMAS tests).
• Seal Codes. Seal Codes are four-digit codes used to lock test sessions
so that students cannot go ahead to the next session or go back to a
previous session that has already been completed. Seal codes are the
electronic equivalents of the adhesive tabs that are used to seal
sections of paper test booklets.

Emergencies:
• If a student becomes ill during a test:
• The student needs are the primary consideration.
• The student may make-up the test.
• The student may only have the amount of time that was left when the test
was suspended.
• If there is an emergency requiring the test to be stopped:
• Evaluate and respond to the emergency … safety first!
• If it is possible to do so without any risk to students and your self, note the
time remaining in the test session
• Students will be allowed to use the remainder of the testing time to
complete the session at a later date.
74
Can student’s read books
after CMAS testing?
Typically the principal in each school determines whether or not students will be allowed
to read books once they have finished with a CMAS test session.
If your principal has decided to allow reading after testing, you must follow these rules
before the student begins reading:
– After completing a CMAS test session, students may be given the option to read a
book until the test session is over.
– Once the student is sure he/she is completely done with the test, the test
administrator can simply ask the student, “Are you completely done with this
session?” If the student says “yes”, the test administrator may EXIT the student
(collects the booklet if paper-base) and the student can begin reading their book.
The test administrator or student CANNOT resume the test once students EXITS the test!
When the test has been exited, the student may read until the test session is complete.
During Testing:
Scheduling Make-up
5. NOTIFY SALS OF ANY MAKE-UPS
•
•
Students who arrive late OR are not tested on the regular
administration date due to illness or other excused absence
should be tested on a make-up day/session
Students who become ill or have to leave for other reasons
during testing should attempt to finish a test they started on a
scheduled make-up date. Test administrators must note the
exact place in test where student stopped. Students are not
allowed to return to any previous session or change any
previously completed item(s).
AFTER testing Tasks
After Testing:
