Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 8 Test Security Issues –Testing Irregularity –Secure Test Materials –Procedural/Administration Issues Security Breach Coaching –Reporting Testing Irregularity Report (TIR)

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 9 Testing Irregularity Definition: Any event (before, during, or after testing) that could potentially impact the security of the test or the accuracy of the test data. Includes any actions or precautions that vary from directions specified by testing contractor manuals or OPI. Can constitute a security breach which could result in invalidating student scores and impacting AYP determinations.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 10 Test Security--Materials All test items and responses to those items are secure materials and may not be copied or duplicated in any way. For Phase 1, the test coordinator is responsible for collecting, inventorying and storing the test booklets in a secure location before and after testing. For Phase 2, the test coordinator is responsible for collecting, inventorying, and returning all test booklets to Measured Progress. For both Phases 1 and 2, test coordinators are responsible for the security of answer documents and the return of them to the testing contractors.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 11 Secure Test Materials Test booklets, answer documents and other materials defined by OPI or testing contractor as secure. These must be kept in a secure location and not copied. System and school test coordinators are responsible for secure test materials. Not maintaining the security of materials is a security breach.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 12 Procedural--Security Breach A security breach is a violation of a testing procedure that gives an unfair advantage to a student or group of students and could jeopardize the security and integrity of the tests and/or resulting data.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 13 Accommodations Remember accommodations are determined on an individual, not a group, basis. For the NRT, accommodations must be included in an IEP, LEP, or 504 plan. For the CRT, accommodations are available to all students on an individual basis and if the accommodation has been a part of the student’s classroom and assessment routine for 2-3 months prior to testing.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 14 Maintaining a Standardized Test Environment List of “Do NOT” activities is on page 3 of the Guidelines and Procedures for Test Security –Cannot answer questions related to the test Refer to page 4 of the Test Security Guidelines for the list of “Do” activities –Cover or remove bulletin boards and instructional aids –No student should have any form of assistance or material that other students do not have.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 15 Coaching Coaching is a type of a procedural security breach. Examples: –Providing answers to students –Changing student responses –Influencing student responses to test questions by offering hints, clues, cues, facial expressions, nods, voice inflections, or any other manner of assistance that could impact a student’s answers.

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 16 OPI Test Security--Reporting Any concern about breaches in test security or noncompliance with test administration procedures must be reported immediately to the principal and system test coordinator and to the State Assessment Director. OPI Guidelines and Procedures for Test Security –This OPI publication outlines procedures for reporting testing irregularities and should be made available to system superintendents, principals, and test administrators. –Contains the form for reporting a breach in test security or noncompliance with test administration procedures: Testing Irregularity Report (TIR)

Montana Office of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch Superintendent 17 Nondisclosure Agreements –Form 1—Nondisclosure Agreement Test coordinator and/or administrator signs and submits to school principal before testing; principal keeps on file. –Form 2 – Nondisclosure and Test Administration Agreement Principals sign and return to Measured Progress with school’s used Student Response Booklets (SRB) after testing
