TELPAS PROCEDURES AND SECURITY
This training does not replace your responsibility to read and follow all manuals and supplements
2
Security Training Modules
Web-based Texas Test Administrator Online Training Modules All three modules must be completed by certified campus personnel if they: - took an incident in the SY - are directed by the campus principal
3
It’s the law! Procedures for maintaining the security and confidentiality of assessments are specified in the Test Security Supplement, the District and Campus Coordinator Manual, and in the appropriate test administration materials.
4
PRINCIPAL’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Receive annual training in test security & administration procedures Ensure that test security is maintained Oversee the implementation of the test administration process as stated in the District and Campus Coordinator Manual (DCCM), test administrator manuals and Security Supplement Establish in conjunction with the CTC, test administration processes specific to the campus Oversee the training of campus personnel in cooperation with the CTC Report any suspected violation of test security to the DTC DCCM S-17
5
The following govern test security
General Security Information The following govern test security Texas Education Code (TEC) Chapter 39, Subchapter B Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 19 Subchapter 101, Assessment Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) Texas Penal Code Tampering
6
Penalties for Prohibited Conduct
Placement of restrictions on the issuance, renewal, or holding of a Texas educator certificate, either indefinitely or for a set term Issuance of an inscribed or non-inscribed reprimand Suspension of a Texas educator certificate for a set term; or Revocation or cancellation of a Texas educator certificate without opportunity for reapplication for a set term or permanently Release or disclosure of confidential test content is a Class C misdemeanor and could result in criminal prosecution under TEC ξ , Section of the Texas Government Code, and Section of the Texas Penal Code. SBEC may take any of the above action if a educator fails to cooperate with TEA in an investigation
7
What is NOT active monitoring?
Monitoring during test administrations is the responsibility of the test administrator, the campus test coordinator and administrators. What is NOT active monitoring? Anything that takes the test administrator’s attention away from the students during testing. Examples include: Working on the computer, using cell phones, or checking Reading a book, magazine, or newspaper Grading papers or working on lesson plans Leaving the room without a trained substitute test administrator in the room Leaving students unattended during meals or breaks
8
Secure TELPAS Information
Content of the online reading test is secure and confidentiality must be maintained Student Test Tickets are to be kept secure All student data in the TELPAS system or entered into the system is confidential Passwords and user IDs are secure and should be kept confidential. DO NOT SHARE! Student Writing Collections and ratings are secure materials All student scratch paper must be collected and destroyed after the completion of the test
9
Secure TELPAS Information
There is no collaboration allowed during the calibration sets Scratch paper and/or notes must be collected and destroyed after the completion of each calibration set Sign in sheets must be collected and turned in as part of the Required Documentation for TELPAS
10
BEFORE Testing Emphasize the importance of reading all manuals and attending training Account for all test material Designate an area with limited access to store testing materials (includes collections and tickets) Verify the accuracy of student information Verify testing requirements for students receiving accommodations Verify the accuracy of test exclusions and exceptions
11
DURING Testing Ensure each student receives the correct assessment level and testing ticket Emphasize and verify active monitoring (test monitoring logs) Ensure only trained test administrators are allowed to serve as relief personnel Ensure all testing personnel understand that they may NOT: - provide assistance - view the tests without authorization - discuss confidential student information - check for strategies
12
AFTER Testing No unauthorized viewing (only TEA may permit)
No scoring of student responses Shred student test tickets, scratch paper or reference material that has been written on No discussion of confidential student information Account for all test materials Ensure an answer document has been submitted for all students that tested Ensure all transcriptions from paper to online are to the correct student and complete
13
Testing Irregularities
Incidents resulting in a deviation from documented testing procedures are defined as testing irregularities The following are viewed as a “procedural” irregularity - improper accounting of secure materials - eligibility error - monitoring error - accommodation error - test procedural error
14
Testing Irregularities
Serious Examples Directly or indirectly assisting students with responses to test questions Tampering with student responses Viewing secure content unless specifically authorized Discussing or disclosing secure test content or student responses Formally or informally scoring student tests Duplicating or recording test content Falsifying TELPAS holistic ratings or STAAR Alternate 2 student responses Fraudulently exempting or preventing a student from participating in the administration of a required state assessment Receiving or providing unallowable assistance during the TELPAS calibration activities Encouraging or assisting an individual to engage in the conduct described above Failing to report to an appropriate authority any of the above DCCM O-19 to O-28
15
Top Ten Testing Irregularities
Students who were required to test were not tested A student was provided an accommodation or a test version that was not eligible A student was given the wrong answer document Secure material (including secure test administration manuals) was left unattended Students were left unattended in the testing environment Student was allowed to leave testing environment without filling in bubbles on an answer document Failure to report a suspected violation A paraprofessional was allowed to relieve a test administrator A student worked on the previous day’s test and changed answers Directly or indirectly assisting students with responses to test questions
16
Assess the situation, investigate and contact the DTC
Reporting Irregularities A test irregularity is reported to you Do not discuss with anyone until cleared by the DTC Remain calm and contact the CTC Assess the situation, investigate and contact the DTC CTCs will scan statements and incident form to the DTC by the end of the day the incident occurred CTCs will obtain the facts, secure any evidence and determine the necessary steps If the irregularity is ruled an incident obtain statements, fill out incident form and submit both to the DTC Statements must be typed, dated and signed Testing binders are kept on campus for 5 years and are TEA auditable Follow up with an action plan to correct the error Include a Plan of Action. Refer to District Plan of Action Keep a copy of the incident form and statements in your testing binder
17
Reporting & Documentation
If You become aware of any irregularities, the CTC must contact the DTC immediately with the who, when, where, what and why. If the irregularity is deemed an incident the following documentation is required: Incident report including a plan of action (local form and district plan of action) Signed statement(s) from individual(s) involved (typed, printed and signed name, role during testing, and dated) Statements will not include names or IDs of students The local disciplinary referral form used to report disciplinary actions taken against students for cheating, cell phone issues or disruptions
18
Security Oaths TEA requires that everyone be trained and sign a security oath before handling secure testing materials or participating in the administration of a state test A person who has several roles during TELPAS testing must sign all oaths that apply to their role(s) (Test Administrator, Rater, Verifier, etc) The ability to view a test booklet for transcribing requires additional training and completion of the addition information on the oath
19
Security Oaths Test Administrator- signed after training and prior to administrating the test TELPAS oaths- signed on the appropriate campus if applicable for each role
20
This will be where you sign when all testing is done for the year
Security Oaths Initial each line Sign and clearly print name DO NOT WRITE IN THIS BOX This will be where you sign when all testing is done for the year
22
What is TELPAS? The Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System assesses all students who are identified as LEP (including parent denials) for language proficiency in the domains of reading, writing, listening and speaking K-1 2-12 Reading Holistically rated observational assessments Multiple choice online reading test Writing Holistically rated student writing collections Listening Speaking
23

Online Training- Raters
42
Calibration for Raters
All Raters must successfully complete a calibration set There are only 2 opportunities Calibration must be completed in a monitored session Calibration typically takes 1-2 hours Raters must print and turn in completion certificates from the Scoring Summary tab
43
Planning Calibration Sessions
A trained proctor must actively monitor each session Sign In sheets will be required A daily passcode must be used for raters to access the calibration set Raters must complete a calibration set once it has started You may start your Calibration.
44
Planning Calibration Sessions
Raters are allowed to use their TELPAS Rater Manual and/or a copy of the PLDs Raters will need headsets Scratch paper may also be used but must be turned in and destroyed after the session There is NO collaboration allowed during the calibration sessions Campuses must plan multiple calibration sessions in case raters need the 2nd opportunity Supplemental support is available upon request from the ELL department
45
Planning Calibration Sessions
How will your campus plan for calibration sessions? Is there enough technology? Can a campus open their sessions to other campuses?
46
Assembling the Writing Collection
K-12th teachers will collect writing samples during the window and turn in to the CTC Writing collections and ratings are considered to be secure materials Writing Sample Collection window is February 13 – February 28 All Writing Sample Collections must be returned to the CTC by February 28 Must follow the guidelines for collecting writing samples
47
Writing Collection Raters assemble a collection of each student’s writing from a variety of content areas A rater bases a student’s English writing proficiency rating solely on the content of their writing collection Raters of K–1 students base the rating of writing on classroom observations. Writing collections are optional for the K–1 grade levels. 47
48
Writing Samples TELPAS writing samples should be taken from authentic classroom activities grounded in content area TEKS ELPS
49
Goal in Assembling Writing Collections
To make sure the collections portray the students’ overall English language writing proficiency
50
Writing Collection At least 5 writing samples (District requirement 3 writing samples for K -1) At least 1 narrative about a past event At least 2 academic samples from math, science, or social studies Samples must include the student name and date Cover sheet must be used and stapled to each writing collection. Raters must initial the Verification Checklist
51
Writing Collection Samples may be typed, but spell and grammar check must be disabled May be a “clean” photocopy from a journal Must only be collected during the window Samples may not have any grading and/or peer editing
52
Some Eligible Types of Writing
Descriptive writing on a familiar topic Writing about a familiar process Writing that elicits the use of past tense Personal narratives and reflective pieces Expository and other extended writing from language arts classes Expository or procedural writing from science, math, and social studies classes This is not an exhaustive list, but it encompasses the majority of eligible types of writing to include in the collections.
53
Papers Not to Include Papers containing copied language
Papers in which student relies heavily on resources (dictionary, thesaurus, etc.) Papers showing teacher comments and corrections Worksheets and question-answer assignments Papers that have been polished with help from peers or teachers Papers written primarily in student’s native language Papers that are brief, incomplete, or rushed The types of papers shown on the slide should be avoided because they interfere with the ability to measure the student’s overall English language writing proficiency. Written primarily in their native language, may be indicator of beginner. Copied language: It is normal and appropriate for students to refer to instructional materials when writing during content area instruction. Copied language becomes a problem when students copy sentences or paragraphs from instructional resources rather than expressing and connecting ideas themselves. Heavy reliance on dictionaries and thesauruses: Use of a dictionary or thesaurus is a normal and appropriate instructional practice, and these resources are real-world tools. Teachers should not include a writing sample if the student relied so heavily on dictionaries or other resources that it obscures the ability to portray the student’s overall English language writing proficiency across the samples. Software that suggests ways to correct misspelled words and/or improve other elements of writing should not be used.
54
Building Collections Strive to gather more than 5 writing samples for each student. Choose at least 5 samples that meet the criteria and do the best job of portraying the student’s current proficiency level.
55
Building Collections Collections should contain some papers in which students showcase English they know and feel comfortable using. “Comfort zone” writing is especially important for students at lower proficiency levels. Collections should also include papers in which students are stretched and pushed beyond their comfort zone so the collection shows that a student has not yet reached the next level (the student is beginning but not yet intermediate, intermediate but not yet advanced, advanced but not yet advanced high).
56
Building Collections The papers you assemble need to help you determine and justify your ratings. They must give you evidence to say, “I know the student is at least at X proficiency level because of these characteristics in his or her writing. I know the student is not yet at the next proficiency level because of these other characteristics in his or her writing.” Reminder: The characteristics you consider must come from the PLDs.
57
Tips Build writing collections that have a balance of writing from language arts and other core content areas Collections should show what the student knows and can do as well as what the student struggles with in second language acquisition Remember, build the collections to portray the student’s overall ability to communicate in writing in English
58
Verifier Responsibilities
Attend training on administrative procedures Obtain access to TELPAS Online Training Center Complete online training “Assembling and Verifying Writing Collections” and print certificate of completion Verify student writing collections in accordance with the checklist Sign Oath Verifier cannot be a TELPAS Rater or the CTC
59
Online Training- Verifiers
Verifiers need to create an account in the TELPAS Online Training Center
60
Verifying the Writing Collection
Verifiers ensure that the writing collections meet all of the criteria based on the Verification Checklist by initialing each item Verifiers sign the bottom of checklist then return the collection to the CTC Writing Collections are secure materials Verification Window is March 1 - March 3
61
Verifying the Writing Collection
The checklist ensures that each collection : At least 5 usable writing samples At least one using past tense and at least two academic samples (from math, science or social studies) Has student’s full name and is not dated before February 13, 2017 No teacher corrections No worksheets or question-answer assignments Written primarily in English
62
Cover Sheet Rater initials each box while collecting writing samples Spring 2017 Spring 2017 Cover Sheet must be attached to each Writing Collection Verifier initials each box during verification window FRONT BACK
63
Rating Students Raters should review pages in Rater Manual prior to rating students in each domain (writing, listening, speaking) CTCs will return the Writing Collection to the Raters during the Rating Window March 6 – March 22 Raters must use the District required Rating Roster form to indicate the student’s rating While rating students, Raters must refer to the PLDs (Proficiency Level Descriptors) pages in Rater Manual Rating Roster must be signed by Rater, Additional Rater (if needed) Teacher Collaborator(s) and Campus Principal All student ratings and Writing Collections must be returned to the CTC by March 22
64
Rating Roster An Additional Rater is required if the Rater did not pass the Calibration set with at least a 70% (K-1) or 67% (2-12) after the 2nd attempt There must be teacher collaboration on ratings as part of the Validity & Reliability process
65
Validity and Reliability
TEA requires districts to implement one or more rating support and verification procedures for every campus with TELPAS-rated students SAISD has developed a TELPAS validity and reliability plan that meets TEA requirements Campus testing coordinators will submit required documents to the DTC by the deadline, in order to comply with the district validity and reliability plan An internal audit will be conducted by the DTC in conjunction with the ELL Department
66
SAISD TELPAS Validity and Reliability Procedures
For listening and speaking domains – grades K-12: Raters, using the PLDs, will collaborate with other teachers of the students in confirming the student’s rating. The collaborator(s) will sign the TELPAS Rating Roster for each child For writing– grades 2-12: 5% of all writing collections will be randomly pulled for assembly verification by the campus testing coordinator
67
Validity & Reliability Form
68
Principal Responsibilities
The campus principal has full oversight of the test administration to include but not limited to campus logistics, scheduling, training, security & confidentiality. The principal plays a key role in ensuring holistic rating accuracy by reviewing and signing each rater’s Student Rating Roster prior to the final verification of student data. For more details on principal responsibilities see the DCCM, Security Supplement and the test administration manuals
69
Ratings must be entered in PAN for each domain*
Enter Ratings CTCs must create Rating Entry Groups in order to enter ratings for students (page 36 in Rater Manual) Ratings are entered into PAN CTCs and the rater will collaborate to enter ratings Ratings must be entered in PAN for each domain* Level Ratings Beginning B Intermediate I Advanced A Advanced High H *only K-1 will have ratings for the reading domain
70
Enter Ratings One of the following codes must be used, if a student is NOT rated in a domain Code What it Means Information E Extenuating Circumstance Documentation of the reason must be maintained on campus X ARD Decision Decision is made student by student and domain by domain *decision for a student not to participate in all 4 domains should be rare
71

93
Keep in Mind… Paper testing won’t be approved on the basis that student knows very little English has limited exposure to computers
94
TELPAS Extenuating Circumstances
Information on page T-29 of the 2017 District and Campus Coordinator Manual Required to be submitted for ELLs in grades 1–12 with special circumstances that have extenuating needs
95
Extenuating Circumstance
Unschooled Asylees/Refugees Lack literacy skills in first language and basic subject-matter knowledge and skills May also lack basic social skills and may have experienced trauma as a result of previous circumstances This information is necessary to exclude eligible students’ STAAR results from state accountability ratings and will NOT be gathered during STAAR data collection
96
Extenuating Circumstance
Students With Interrupted Formal Schooling (SIFE) Attend school in the U.S., withdraw and leave the U.S. for a period of time, and return to the U.S. Gaps in schooling (in the U.S) significantly affect growth in English and learning of subject matter Once coded as a SIFE always coded as SIFE
97
Verify Years in U.S. Schools
Start with grade 1 Follow 60 Day Rule- ELLs enrolled for 60 consecutive days in a school year for that school year count as one year in the calculation of years in US Schools. Therefore, ELL students enrolling within the last 60 school days of a year will be considered to be in their first year for the following year. Years in U.S. schools are important because they are used to determine accountability performance requirements for AYP and the Progress Measurement CTC is responsible for ensuring that years in US schools has been correctly entered
98
Required Documentation
Binder contents will be kept for 5 years All documentation is auditable Keep documents in the same order of the checklist
99
Unique Situations Newly enrolled LEP student:
If LEP from another Texas school they are LEP If newly enrolled, student is not LEP until the LPAC has been held A student that enrolls during the reading window must be registered in PAN by the campus and added to the test session. Contact Testing Department to confirm that the student needs to test Students that un-enroll during the window, that have not tested, must be removed from the reading test session (contact Testing Dept)
100
