Test Security Required School Test Coordinators and Test Administrators

Objectives Understand how to use the Test Administration Manual to: Implement the principles of secure test administration Maintain security of printed test materials Avoid and respond to test improprieties -Maintaining the security of test items and stimuli is necessary so that they can be used in later years to measure trends in performance. In addition, test security helps to ensure test results provide a valid representation of what our students know and can do and can be used in accountability reporting. -Requirements for a secure test environment, secure handling of printed test materials, item security, test administration and handling of test improprieties are addressed in Section 2: Test Security and Section 3: Test Improprieties and Irregularities of the Test Administration Manual.

Secure Testing Environment: Reminder of Requirements Security refers to: Who has access to secure test materials What students can see and hear while testing What resources students can access while testing Why security is important: Ensure that each student’s responses are a valid representation of what that student knows and can do Ensure the assessment data used for accountability purposes are valid and accurate Ensure that test items can be used across years to allow for year- to-year comparability and to protect investments in test development A secure environment refers to the conditions under which tests are administered, not a specific location TAM, Section 2.2 Security of the Test Environment

Secure Testing Environment: Reminder of Requirements Security refers to: Who has access to secure test materials What students can see and hear while testing What resources students can access while testing Why security is important: Ensure that each student’s responses are a valid representation of what that student knows and can do Ensure the assessment data used for accountability purposes are valid and accurate Ensure that test items can be used across years to allow for year- to-year comparability and to protect investments in test development A secure environment refers to the conditions under which tests are administered, not a specific location TAM, Section 2.2 Security of the Test Environment

Handling Secure Printed Test Materials: Reminder of Requirements Ensure only the student and authorized staff have access Maintain chain of custody from printing to shredding, using consistent protocols to collect and inventory all materials Ensure all materials are securely destroyed At the end of each test session (printed items and stimuli, notes, and scratch paper) Upon test completion (for student drafts for ELPA21 and Smarter Balanced PT and constructed response items) TAM, Section 2.4 Secure Handling of Printed Test Materials

Identifying and Preventing Improprieties: Reminder of Requirements Definition: Behaviors prohibited because they give students an unfair advantage or compromise the security or validity of the test Improprieties can be: Committed by a student or an adult Intentional or accidental Affect a single student or a group of students Strategies to prevent improprieties: Know the rules and make sure students know the rules Check the test environment to make sure it meets the security criteria Ensure the test environment and the students are closely supervised When in doubt, check the TAM and seek clarification before testing! TAM, Section 3 Test Improprieties

Potential Consequences: Reminder of Requirements Impacted tests may be invalidated, meaning the student loses their test opportunity In rare cases, tests may be reset Significant breaches of security could result in disciplinary action by the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) or the district TAM, Section 3.5 Consequences of Test Improprieties

Reporting Improprieties: Reminder of Requirements Immediately report all potential test improprieties, even if you are unsure of the exact situation pause the student’s test pending the DTC’s investigation and authorization from ODE DTC sends Test Impropriety Report to: ode.testsecurity@state.or.us TAM, Section 3.6 Reporting Test Improprieties
