Research CRCT comparability study showed equity in scores between online and paper/pencil Paek (2005) presented a table summarizing the results of recent comparability studies. Adding up the number of grade/subject combinations, we see that out of 97 cases the results for 74 were deemed comparable, in 8 the computer-administered test appeared more difficult, and in 15 the paper test seemed more difficult. Paek, P. (2005). Recent trends in comparability studies (PEM Research Report 05-05). Available from http://www.pearsonedmeasurement.com/downloads/research/RR_05_05.pdf Studies asked students who took computerized tests whether they would prefer to take future tests on computer or on paper. In all such studies located for this review, the majority of students indicated their preference to test on computer (Bridgeman, Lennon, & Jackenthal, 2001; Higgins, Russell, & Hoffman, 2005; Glassnapp, Poggio, Poggio, & Yang, 2005; Ito & Sykes, 2004; Johnson & Green, 2004; O’Malley et al., 2005; Richardson et al., 2002; Sim & Horton, 2004).

Agenda CRCT-M Participation Reminders TestTime Enrollment System Overview Demonstration Questions and Answers

PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES Participation must be decided annually. Participation must be determined by each content area. IEP teams may not make blanket participation decisions. Students who Met Standards on the CRCT (PL2 or 3) the previous year are not eligible for the CRCT-M. Participation will require documentation of evidence supporting the IEP team’s placement decision

PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES In order for a student who has achieved “Basic Proficiency” on the CRCT-M the prior year to remain on the CRCT-M the following year, the IEP team should review additional evidence such as national and local tests that the district administers, class tests, and other student work. After consideration of all evidence, the IEP team determines the appropriate assessment for the student (CRCT or CRCT-M) and documents the decision in the IEP.

PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES Students are ineligible for the CRCT-M in any content area in which they have earned a Basic Proficiency score for two years (2011 and 2012). These students’ performance indicates that they are ready to take the general assessment (CRCT). 3/28/2011
