ASSESSMENT

Q: Are online TELPAS Reading rosters considered confidential & secure materials before or after proctor caching? (It lists PEIMS numbers and user id before proctor caching & adds authorization codes after). A: Yes to both. Q: If a student’s years in schools was reported incorrectly last year, can we make a correction? This is not a recalculation based on 60 day rule, but a clerical error that that we’d like to resolve. A: Per TEA, you cannot correct last year, but enter the correct years this year and keep local documentation. Q: A student eligible for special provisions has retested twice in English 1 EOC’s. However, the student has not earned credit for the 1 st half of English 1 yet. Should the student retest in English 1 EOC once credit for the class has been earned (during fall 2014)? A: Since part of the provision is passing the class, the student would retest in the fall, after which (assuming credit is earned) he/she can take advantage of the provision and no longer retest.

Q: Where can we find the percentage of passing for new EOC English tests at Level 2 satisfactory (phase-in 1)? A: It is not yet posted Q: Are the compositions being graded by 2 scorers? If so, how are they arriving at the 1-4 score for students? A: Yes, two scorers. See next slides.
