Comprehensive Assessment System for Louisiana Districts and Schools The Louisiana Department of Education is focused on creating a comprehensive assessment system. If you attended any of the ELA and math assessment sessions during the September Teacher Leader/Supervisor Collaboration events, you received a preview of the non-summative assessment resources the Department intends to make available to districts. These resources are optional to districts and are intended to give educators access to tools that will measure and monitor student performance throughout the school year. We are excited about this work and eager to get high quality resources into the hands of administrators and teachers.

Comprehensive Assessment System Non-Summative Assessment Resources The Department is building a comprehensive assessment system through the development of high-quality summative and non-summative assessments that align to Louisiana’s Student Standards provide a more complete picture of student learning, which includes Grades 3 through high school diagnostic assessments Grades 3 through high school interim assessments Ongoing classroom assessments (including EAGLE 2.0 and K-2 Formative Tasks) Annual statewide assessments, including aligned resources provide districts and schools with access to one delivery system for all summative and non-summative assessments   The vision includes the development of high-quality summative and non-summative assessments. Today, we will talk about one of the non-summative resources the department is developing to support districts and schools - EAGLE 2.0.

EAGLE 2.0 Session Objectives During this session, district administrators will: Understand the benefits of using EAGLE in the classroom Interact with the platform to understand the basic functions Identify and download training resources to support schools

What is EAGLE 2.0? EAGLE 2.0 is an online assessment tool that supports formative assessment in the classroom and can be used to aid and enhance student learning throughout the year. The system provides Louisiana teachers with a bank of high quality assessment items that can be used to create online tests. Other functions include: creating and assigning students to groups accessing student performance reports EAGLE 2.0 has been around for several years and has served as a valuable resource for teachers. As you know, the old EAGLE platform is no longer available. Over the summer, the Department began moving old EAGLE items to the new platform. Today there are over 4,100 items in the new EAGLE platform. This includes math, ELA, science and social studies items. Today, EAGLE includes autoscored/computer scored items. The Department will be releasing a new functionality that will allow users to hand-score constructed response items. More information about this functionality will be shared later this year. ELA includes all of the items from the old platform. All ELA items are built as a passage set. Additional ELA items will be added once the hand-scoring functionality is released.

How can EAGLE support teachers in the classroom? Create student groups to target the specific needs of students. Build and share tests across and within schools. Access high quality item, passages , and text-dependent questions. View and share immediate results for computer scored items. Make timely interventions to adjust instruction throughout the school year. Support other formative assessment activities in the classroom. Here are a few ways that EAGLE can be used in the classroom.

End of Course (EOC) Session Objectives During the second half of the session, district administrators will Understand the roles of each user Interact with parts of the platform to understand the administrative functions Identify and download training resources to support schools

Transitioning to Technology In 2016–2017 grades 3–8 will complete the transition to computer-based tests, with a paper option remaining for grades 3 and 4. End-of-Course (EOC) exams will also move to this same platform. A smooth transition to online testing requires that a number of factors be addressed within schools and districts. These factors fall within three main work streams: digital literacy, technology readiness, and assessment administration preparation. Work Stream Description Responsible Parties Digital Literacy Regular authentic incorporation of technology within classroom instruction Instructional leaders, principals, curriculum directors, teachers Technology Readiness Purchasing and evaluating devices, measuring network capacity, and general maintenance and of related systems Technology coordinators Assessment Administration Preparation Assessment platform-specific installations and configurations, logistics, training of testing staff Technology and test coordinators

Discussion In your district, who is responsible for each of these work streams? What do you think are the next steps in each one for your district? Work Stream Responsible Parties Next Steps Digital Literacy Technology Readiness Assessment Administration Preparation

Before the Assessment: Planning and Scheduling

Scheduling EOCs As with prior computer-based tests, districts will have some flexibility in scheduling. To reduce incidences of testing irregularities, required scheduling practices include: Testing students of the same grade level at the same time or as near as possible to the same time Completing make up tests for students immediately upon return Limiting student interaction during break periods Isolating students who have not completed testing for the day Preventing interaction between tested and untested students Requiring the completion of a session once opened (limiting reopened test sessions)

Planning for Technology Support Districts and schools should have in place a plan for technology support leading up to and during the testing window. Technology support plans should include: Setting up the Testing Site Manager (TSM) Installing INSIGHT on all testing devices Ensuring that all testing rooms have the appropriate equipment Communication streams for issues identified before and during testing (e.g., point of contact for test administrators, tiered support) Plans for communicating the technology support plan to other stakeholders including (test administrators, coordinators, and others)

Discussion In your district, who is responsible for each of these actions? What do you think are the next steps in each one for your district? Action Responsible Parties Next Steps Scheduling EOCs Planning Technology Support

Before the Assessment: Completing and Using the Technology Readiness Tool (TRT)

Technology Readiness Tool (TRT) The Technology Readiness Tool provides LEAs a mechanism for tracking and analyzing school and district devices, network readiness, and broadband readiness for supporting both classroom learning and assessments. The tool is open year-round for LEAs to submit and update their data, as well as pull reports to inform administrative decisions related to upgrades, new purchases, and strategic planning. Key Dates for TRT Reporting September 15: Deadline to submit summer TRT device and network data September: Online reports of district/school readiness available within the TRT September: Statewide report of district/school readiness December 5: Deadline to submit fall TRT device and network data December: Online reports of district/school readiness available within the TRT January: Statewide and legislative report of district/school readiness released

TRT Reporting Upon completing the survey portion of the Technology Readiness Tool (TRT), the system generates a number of reports to allow schools, districts, and the state to determine whether they are technologically ready for online testing. Every stakeholder should utilize the following reports to inform their technology readiness efforts: Overall Readiness Indicators Device to Test-Taker Indicators Network Indicators Device Readiness

Before the Assessment: Preparing Devices

eDIRECT General Information The eDIRECT system includes the necessary installation downloads (e.g., INSIGHT, TSM) for technology coordinators.

Testing Site Manager (TSM) The Testing Site Manager (TSM) is required for online testing in the DRC INSIGHT system. It is available in both a 32 and 64 bit version and provides for content and response caching as well as additional diagnostic tools. The 64 bit version is required when a TSM will be serving more than 150 simultaneous testers and can serve up to 500. Both versions are now available in eDIRECT. The TSM specifications are available here. Content Caching •Content Caching stores test content on the TSM. •When students login to test, cached content is retrieved from the TSM instead of from DRC’s servers, thereby reducing demands on Internet bandwidth. Response Caching •Response Caching buffers and stores test responses on the TSM if testing computers stop communicating with the DRC INSIGHT servers. •Cached responses are stored on the TSM for transmission to DRC when the connection to DRC INSIGHT servers has been re-established. •Testing can continue if the connection to DRC is disrupted, but cached responses must be transmitted to DRC before the student can log into the same test again.

TSM Management and Trouble-Shooting Tools Ping Trend Graphs Allows districts/schools to see times when Internet traffic is heaviest Load Simulator Performs load simulations to estimate the amount of time it will take during testing to download tests and upload responses Compares content download speeds from the TSM, from DRC, or a specific client configuration Identifies machines not functioning as well as others in a lab setting May show potential whitelisting issues if data takes longer to download or fails to download Capacity Estimator Estimates the time it will take to download the web-based test engine based on the number of students testing Estimates how long a student will wait for a test to load with and without Content Caching via the TSM Estimates the time it will take for a student to receive the next question when he or she finishes a question

Device Tool Kit and ORG Units DRC provides a platform called the Device Toolkit that one can use to connect student computers to the TSM on their network. A district can create groupings of computers called “ORG Units” within the Device Toolkit where each unit is connected to a unique TSM. One can also group them by location. The district or school can then deploy those ORG Unit settings to the installed INSIGHT software and register the devices to the Toolkit in a few simple steps. All devices will connect through the DTK. Supported Browsers for Device Toolkit: IE: Version 10 or newer Chrome: Most recent stable channel Firefox: Version 31 or newer See Tech Guide “Configuring Devices for Testing"

Configuring the Device Toolkit To start the Device Toolkit, sign on to eDIRECT and click the Test Setup-Device Toolkit link. When the DTK displays, select a district and school from the dropdowns. Users will only be able to see the sites where they have permissions in eDIRECT. From the DTK, click “Add a new ORG Unit” to create a new org unit. It is recommended to assign organized naming conventions to help categorize the devices. See Tech Guide “Configuring Devices for Testing"

Configuring the Device Toolkit The configuration page for an ORG Unit displays a unique ORG Unit ID. During INSIGHT Installation, the user will need this ID to associate devices to this ORG Unit. See Tech Guide “Configuring Devices for Testing"

Create Configuration file for Devices You can validate which devices are connected to the TSM via the Devices Tab in the Device Toolkit

Validating Devices You can validate which devices are connected to the TSM via the Devices Tab in the Device Toolkit

System Readiness Check The INSIGHT browser must be installed on each testing device. Once the secure browser is installed, the System Readiness Check will verify that the device meets the specifications required for testing. Device requirements can also be found here.
