Guidelines for Administration Time

31

Task Time to be Allotted

for an Administration

Preparing for testing (includes reading instructions to students and answering questions)

20 minutes (recommended)

Distributing test materials 5 minutes (recommended)

PARCC English language Arts and Mathematics Unit testing time 60-90 minutes*

Science and Social Studies Section testing time 80 minutes

Completing end-of-unit activities, including closing units, collecting test materials, and administering a student survey (after EOY)

5–10 minutes (recommended)

*For PARCC, depending on unit and subject—refer to Unit Guidelines and Schedule table in the Test Coordinator Manual for each Unit Time.

Page 32: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

Guidelines for Administration Time Guidelines for Administration Time • Schedule the entire amount of Unit/Section Testing

Time. • Once the Unit/Section Testing Time has elapsed, the

Unit/Section must end. • If all students have completed the Unit/Section, the

Unit/Section may be ended (no minimum testing time). A student may be allowed an extended time accommodation only if listed in his or her IEP, 504 Plan, or EL Plan. • PARCC: time-and-a-half is not included in Unit

testing time. • Science and Social Studies: time-and-a-half is

included in the Section testing time

Page 33: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

NEW! Guidelines for Breaks (p 10 TCM)

33

Breaks

• Between Units/Sections, scheduled breaks may occur.

• During a Unit/Section, short “stand-and-stretch” breaks

may be permitted at the discretion of the Test Administrator. • Not to exceed 3 minutes • Add 3 minutes on to total unit testing time

Example EOY (ELA/L Administration): 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Unit 1 10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. Scheduled Break 10:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Unit 2

Page 34: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

Scheduling • Test Units/Sections can only be administered to

students in consecutive order. o Only PARCC Make-ups may be administered out

of order. • Paper testing: A school must administer the same

Unit to all paper-based students within the same day (e.g., Unit I on Tuesday).

• Computer testing: To the extent possible, all students within the school should be assessed at the same time. If not possible, all students should be assessed within the shortest timeframe practicable.

34

Page 35: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

Scheduling Considerations

• Schedule first group/first day with more of a time cushion than other groups if you can.

• Schedule smallest group first. • Determine whether one content area will be

completed before beginning the next, or if testing will alternate between the two content areas (make-ups excluded).

• Determine whether students will take an entire session in one day or take one Section/Unit per day (make-ups excluded).

• One TA or two per room?

35

Page 36: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

PARCC Scheduling • If the time and directions are the same,

different grades can be administered in the same room. o ELA and Math cannot be administered in the same room

because the directions are different o PBA of Algebra I and II can be tested together but the EOY

cannot because of Unit time differences o Ensure that all calculator/non-calculator sections are the

same

• Students from different grade levels taking the same assessment (Algebra I for grades 8-10) can be combined in a testing environment.

• Recommended to only test students on up to 2 units per day

36

Page 37: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

Schedules created/sent • Send completed school schedule to Kim

Terry by Feb. 10th • Be sure to include:

oDate oGrade level and Unit o Start time o Location of tests (for support staff to find

you)

Page 38: PARCC/Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)assessment.aurorak12.org/wp.../12/2015-Spring-PARCC...PARCC English Language Arts and Mathematics (two windows) Performance Based

Turn and Talk • Share your 3 important things

o Any to add?

• What other information do you need to know more about or consider when creating your schools testing schedules for:

• PBA • SS and Science • EOY

Make-Up Testing

Make-Up Testing

• Students who are absent, become ill, or who can no longer test because of classroom, school, or technical interruptions during original units, may utilize make-up testing. • They may not return to questions previously viewed.

• Test security and administration protocols apply. • School Test Coordinators will establish the make-up testing

schedules for their schools. • PARCC ELA/Math Units may be taken out of order for make-

up testing only. • PearsonAccessnext functionality

• Science and Social Studies Sections may not be taken out of order.

Priority: minimize risk of prior exposure to test content that could result in an invalidation. 61

Documenting and Storing Test Materials

Upon Receipt of Test Materials, Test Coordinators should:

Remove the Packing List, Chain-of-Custody Form, and Test Coordinator Kit from Box 1. Use the Chain-of-Custody Form to document all test manuals and test materials

received. Inventory materials immediately to verify that there is an adequate number for

administration. NOTE: Count through the shrink wrap only. Do not open shrink-wrapped packages until two school days before testing, and do not distribute materials before the first day of testing.

Order additional material by contacting DAC, if necessary. Keep all test materials in a centrally locked storage area, with limited access, until

distributing them to the Test Administrators. Remind Test Administrators that all test materials must be distributed only on test

administration day and must be returned to secure storage immediately after testing.
