- A 2013-14 CAASP Security Affidavit needs to be reviewed with and signed by all district employees who may potentially have access to CST/CAPA/CMA materials or may potentially be present in the same room as students taking SBAC.
- Only PUHSD District employees (who have a signed security affidavit) may be present in SBAC testing rooms or have access to STAR materials. Outside consultants, visiting WASC members, members of the press, staff from other districts, outside service technicians, parents/community members and all other non district employees are not permitted in the testing rooms at any time.
- Please review the Field Test Preparation Document at this link: http://goo.gl/1YklFY that has some key reminders and things to do to prepare for the Field Test.
- I am working on a plan for support coverage so that in addition to your site IT Tech, there will be additional support from Ed Services. That will be posted here
- Review the Online Haiku Classroom Activities created by our Instructional Technology Coaches. Coordinate plan for sending this activity and making sure that students who were absent on the Class Activity are able to receive instruction on it.
- Printed copies of the Test Administrator Manual (TAM) are being shipped to your sites. There is a small insert that has the day of testing instructions. You will still need to provide the daily "cheat sheet" based on the specific test you are administering each day.
- You will need to become familiar with the Online Reporting System (ORS) to track make up testing and incomplete tests. Tutorials are posted on your Friendly District SBAC Page. We will also explore this in the CAASPP After testing meeting on 5/6/14 at 7:00 am in TR 1.
- Please complete your CST/CAPA/CMA Initial Inventory by Tuesday 4/22/14 at 5 pm.
- Review the video tutorials regarding the Online Reporting System (ORS). These two tutorials are posted on the SBAC Site Coordinator page.
Please add the following comments to this blog post:
- Clarifying question that you have regarding any of the information on this blog, the Things to do List, or just in general
- At least one additional item (that should be added to the "Things to do list" that will help your colleagues plan and prepare for testing.
By codes you mean what they are testing correct?
ReplyDeleteYes, I updated the Things to do Spreadsheet to include the test names. Pay close attention to the Grade 6 at CMI, they are in the Scientific Sample and have multiple versions of each test.
DeleteDo you know when CMI will get the TAM?
ReplyDeleteThey are printed and ready to go. I will drop them off tomorrow.
DeleteIt seems to simple, the cheat sheets still say ELA...thats different for HHS now right?
ReplyDeleteYes, it needs to be the PT assignment. Make a copy f the sheet and then update with the specific name of the PT for HHS.
DeleteAll ready for Wednesday. Thanks for all your support Charles.
ReplyDeleteHappy Testing :)
Deletewe are looking forward to the training this Thursday and Friday. I will be sending you an excel spread sheet as to who is testing each period and date
ReplyDeleteThanks Leon, that will help us prep rooms for teachers with extra Chromebooks and supplies.
