Before Multiple-choice Paper-pencil CAASPP Testing

Why count boxes received before you sign for them?

Prepare multiple-choice answer documents Use ONLY 2014 two-color answer documents.

Confirm Universal Tools, Designated Supports, and Accommodations students will use.

Do NOT use photocopies, purchasable answer documents (downloaded or printed), or downloaded samples.

NPS Code Must be code of nonpublic, nonsectarian school Do NOT use for home/hospital-tested students Look up NPS code at http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/sd.

California Standards Tests (CSTs) for Science

Who takes it?

Students in grades five, eight, and ten are required to take the grade-level CST for Science

(unless they are taking the CMA or CAPA).

Students in grade eleven participating in the EAP will take the CST for EnglishLanguage Arts (ELA).

End-of-course CSTs for Mathematics are to be administered only to students in grade eleven who are participating in the EAP.

Students will take the test for which they meet the eligibility requirements, either the CST for Algebra II or the CST for Summative High School Mathematics.

Test Students to be Tested

Algebra II Students in grade eleven who wish to take the EAP mathematics section and completed an Algebra II course in the 2013 summer session or will complete it during the 201314 school year will take the CST for Algebra II.

Summative High School Mathematics Students in grade eleven who wish to take the EAP mathematics section and meet the following requirements will take the CST for Summative High School Mathematics if: They completed Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry courses

in previous years and completed an advanced mathematics course in the 2013 summer session or will complete it during the 201314 school year; or

They completed a course aligned with the Integrated Mathematics 3 test blueprint in a previous year and completed an advanced mathematics course in the 2013 summer session or will complete it during the 201314 school year; or

They completed Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry courses in previous years and are taking no mathematics course this year; or

They completed a course aligned with the Integrated Mathematics 3 test blueprint in a previous year and are taking no mathematics course this year; or

They are in grade eleven and took the CST for Summative High School Mathematics in a previous year; those students may retake the CST for Summative High School Mathematics.

Be sure to mark which mathematics test the grade eleven student took and the version number.



California Modified Assessment (CMA) for Science

Who Takes the CMA?

In 2014 there are no eligibility criteria.

Students may have previously taken the Both the CST for Science and CMA for CMA, regardless of score. Science are in the grade five answer document.

No modifications. Student must have an IEP that designates that he/she takes the CMA for Science.

Eligible students in grades five, eight, and ten will take the grade-level CMA for Science.

Students may NOT take a combination of CAPA and CMA.



Standards-based Tests in Spanish (RLA)

Pruebas de los estndares de California

Which content-area test is the only STS available for students in grades two through eleven who meet the STS eligibility requirements? What are the requirements for taking the STS? Which grades are included in the STS? Which other tests must students who take the STS also take?



California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA)

What is the CAPA?

How many versions of the CAPA are available in 2014? Use ONLY 2014 answer documents!

Ensure the CAPA Level is marked in Section 7a is on the answer document.

CAPA Level

Observers

Ten percent of students (at least one student) At each level tested At each school

Must score at the same time, but independently of examiner On the answer document, mark the students name, district, school, SSID, CAPA level, grade,

gender, local ID, and date of birth If you were an observer, record what you should write on this part of the answer document.

2014 CAASPP Pre-Test Workshop for Paper-Pencil Tests Page 9 After Testing: Disability Code, 16a


If not in Pre-ID, ensure that the disability code is marked. Required if the CMA or CAPA were taken.

000 No disability 210 Mental retardation/Intellectual disability 220 Hard of hearing 230 Deafness 240 Speech or language impairment 250 Visual impairment 260 Emotional disturbance 270 Orthopedic impairment 280 Other health impairment 290 Specific learning disability 300 Deaf-blindness 310 Multiple disabilities 320 Autism 330 Traumatic brain injury

Which disability should be marked for Rocky, who has no disability and no IEP? Which disability should be marked for Rita, who has autism and took the CAPA? What happens if no disability code is marked and there are marks on a grade four through seven answer document?



After Testing: School and Grade Identification Sheet

Fill in the following for the School and Grade Identification (SGID) sheet: Circles for School Name Which test(s): CST/CMA CAPA STS

Grade Number of Documents Testing Start Date School Code Information on STS For each school, place on top of sets of Answer documents for

CST/CMA grade 5 CST/CMA grade 8 CST/CMA grade 10 CST grade 11

Answer documents for all CAPA levels and grades

Test booklets for STS grade 2 Test booklets for STS grade 3 Answer documents for

STS grade 4 STS grade 5 STS grade 6 STS grade 7 STS grade 8 STS grade 9 STS grade 10 STS grade 11

Ensure that the school code and grade matches the school on the answer documents. If not, school could be wrong and is not changeable. Do not enter information into the Instructional Materials section on the second page.
