What is our responsibility?
Ensure that every student has an
equal opportunity to demonstrate
what they know and are able to do
within standard conditions
provided to all students in Colorado.
Standardized Assessments
This means….
• all students will have the same test experience
(content, resources, directions, testing conditions,
and scoring procedures).
• scores are comparable - one score obtained by
one student in a part of Colorado will mean the
same as the same score obtained by another
student in another part of Colorado.
Why we need to get it right
• It’s legislated (CRS, NCLB)
• Scores impact SAR & AYP, which can
impact funding
• We’re asking students for 9 – 12.5
hours of testing time. Misadministrations
result in no scores.
Assumption of Professionalism
Teachers are professionals and understand
the importance of providing a standardized
administration and maintaining test
security.
Ethical Administrations
The CSAP Procedures Manual has four pages of
“dos and don’ts” around ethics. Most of these are
obvious professional standards. Sadly, most are
there because of actual incidents.
Here are a few of the “don’ts”:
• Photocopying or hand copying items from CSAP
• Copying passages and incorporating them into curriculum
• Telling students correct answers
• Changing student answers

Materials and Environment 8.1-8.2.2

for all students each day.
• Postable materials (from CDE website) during CSAP
administration (if posted throughout the year in the classroom):
– Holistic/Analytic Writing Rubrics, Writer’s Checklist and
Editing Checking List
– 2-pt (Math) rubric for Short Constructed Response Items
– 3-pt (Math) rubric for Medium Constructed Response Items
– 4-pt (Math) rubric for Extended Constructed Response Items
Standard conditions
throughout the state.
Active Proctoring for CSAP 8.3, 9.5-9.6
• Follow the script exactly as it is written.
• If a student asks, you must repeat oral directions in
the script of the administration manual to the
whole class at the beginning of the test session.
• Maintain a presence/awareness.
Active Proctoring for CSAP 8.3, 9.5-9.6
• Active Proctoring does NOT mean ‘Active
Participation’
•
•
•
•
•
Do not provide feedback.
Do not clarify test items.
Do not answer content related questions.
Do not interfere with the demonstration of skills.
Do not interact with students in a manner that will
impact student responses.
Active Proctoring
• If students finish early, they may read, but
not write or draw.
• Give full amount of time.
• Do not collect books until time is up.
If a student becomes ill… 9.3
• If a student becomes ill and must leave the
room after beginning the test, the student
may make up the session at a later time,
but he or she may not change responses to
any questions he or she has already
answered.
Continuing onto another session
•If a student moves onto another
session the test proctor must
immediately stop the student and
take the test book from the student.
This is a misadministration.
•The student may not make up that session but the
student may complete any other sessions that have
not been attempted. There will not be a scale
score.
Lectura/Escritura 9.2
Grades 3 and 4
• Must be administered in separate sessions by a
Spanish-speaking test proctor.
• Administration instructions are provided in the
English CSAP Test Proctor’s Manual.
• Scheduling and administration are the same as
for English assessments.
• Student Data Grids on all test books are identical
– both English and Lectura/Escritura.
Accommodations for CSAP
•
Accommodations vs. Modifications
(provide access)
(alter content)
•
Accommodations need to be formally documented
in a student’s record (IEP, 504 or other formal plan)
and used on assessments three months prior.
•
Decisions must be based on individual student
need (not by category or program).
•
Decisions must be made by a team including the
content area teacher and parent.
Accommodations
NOT Requiring Documentation
Timing/Scheduling
• Scheduling of sessions to
include more breaks, as long
as the total minutes (including
the breaks) does not exceed
the 60/65 session minutes.
Test Presentation
• Rereading the script in the
administration manual to all
students when requested by
any student
Setting/Environment
• Grouping students: whole
classroom, small groups, and
individual administration
Student Response

who ask has been removed as a
standard accommodation.

Transcribing Books 10.1-10.2
• Transcribing is not an accommodation
– Damaged books
– Alternate formats
– When a student responds in a language
other than English (Math, Science and
Reading)
Invalid Tests / Misadministration
•
DAC has the authority and responsibility to
invalidate tests when the standardization of
the test administration and policies have been
violated in any way.
•
If there has been a major misadministration, the
DAC must notify Beth Celva, Director of Unit of
Student Assessment, via email at
[email protected].
Management and Preparation for
Administration
If something comes up…
how will we address it?
• Have a communication protocol
• All contacts with CDE/CTB must go through DACs.
• Have a protocol in place for students who
become ill or who require discipline.
• Collect and inventory all assessment materials.
The Student Data Grid
All students need these areas bubbled in:
• Accommodations
• Test invalidation
• No other information should be coded
unless the student doesn’t have a bar
code label, in which case all sections
should be completed.
Communication Channels
1. If questions, check manuals.
2. If Test Proctor has questions, ask SAC.
3. If SAC has questions, ask DAC.
Inform your building principal.
