TIDE: New and Moved Students (Repeat from
March 7th Webinar)
All Students need SSIDs in TIDE,
SSIDs and TIDE records only come from CEDARS,
Issuing an SSID creates a TIDE record.

TIDE: New and Moved Students (Reminders)
NO NEED TO MANUALLY ADD DIRECTLY TO
TIDE;
SSID issuance creates a TIDE record ONLY when
grade and subject are reported during issuance;

Issuing an SSID lets students test;
it does NOT “enroll” a student

New and Moved Students

No Booklet Bubbles for Student Identity or Demographics
 Must print LABEL from TIDE

Tracking Online test completion for students who
move during window




ORS: Plan and Manage Testing IF student has TIDE record in your
district
MUST check if they have completed Performance Task – if your
site has a different PT, student not blocked from taking a second,
different PT
Students cannot retake CAT
Can’t see the student in TIDE? See previous slides
May 12, 2015 | Slide 18
New and Moved Students

New from another Smarter state?
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION



No, we don’t have the scores and can’t get them
Contact old district to verify if a report can’t be produced
Data informs instruction; it’s not just for accountability


Err on the side of administering test if old district cannot provide them
“Partially Enrolled” Determined from CEDARS exit dates



If all testing and makeup testing is complete, and you lack the
staff/tech resources to test, that student would ultimately not
count against your district’s totals if they do not sit for the
summative test
PE attempt/exemption is not new, but is different with the HUGE
testing window – calculated from last day of school in CEDARS
NOT SAYING ‘if they enroll after X date, they don’t have to test’
May 12, 2015 | Slide 19
Cleaning Up Testing Records
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

TIDE records – split SSIDs and Exited Students



Ignore old records without any test data – School/District Exit
Date in CEDARS is the critical element
Working with AIR on plan to reattribute test data by SSID in a
systematic way (currently, call the Helpdesk)
Record Reconciliation?



ALL program/demographics for accountability reporting come
from CEDARS – NO DIRECT EDITS to “score file”
ALL test incident codes come from TIDE – NO DIRECT
EDITS to “score file”
Reattributing student work may require the RR application or
RR may be read-only reporting tool. Stay Tuned…

Known as Bridge to College Transition Courses
Developed for students who are scoring a Level 2 on the
Smarter Balanced grade 11th grade assessment.
High schools were recruited for participation in the
2015-16 school year.
Funded through OSPI and in collaboration with the
SBCTC, this program is designed to:



Allow more high school students to avoid remediation and
placement testing when they enter college.
Improve curricular alignment between K-12 and entry-level
college courses in math and English.
Develop and sustain local college/school district partnerships
and faculty/teacher collaboration.
May 12, 2015 | Slide 25
Bridge Courses
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION


Courses collaboratively designed and developed by higher
education faculty, high school teachers, and curriculum
specialists from multiple colleges and school districts.
