Summative and CoAlt Security Requirements As with current Colorado Assessments, the Colorado procedures must adhere to manual requirements. Limit access to testing rooms and computer labs during testing sessions. Ensure that students who have completed the assessment remain separate from those who have yet to test during the school day. Security

Summative and CoAlt Security Requirements Avoid breaches of secure test materials: Discussing, memorizing, photocopying, photographing, scanning, encoding, ing, Morse code, note taking, text messaging, blogging and other forms of social networking, or any other reproduction methodology that would violate the security of the test Failing to secure test materials and/or Student Authorization Tickets Breaking the chain of custody of CoAlt test materials Misusing, mishandling, or losing any test materials Security

Summative Participation Considerations: There will be online tools available for all students (ex. line reader and highlighter). The Summative assessment is not a timed test. Expectation: Due to increased accessibility for all students, fewer students will require accommodations. Accommodations information: Setting accommodations should be provided to the extent practical. Some students will require accommodations that are not available during the Fall Field Test – Districts determine participation. In operational administrations, online accommodations will be available to students (ex. text-to-speech).

The field test may take approximately one hour Plan for an hour and half to two hours per group (this includes transition time) Plan for as few groups and days as possible Approximately three groups of students per day To the extent possible, students who have taken the field test should remain separate from those who have yet to complete the field test during school hours Schedule Planning
