5. Beginning Test Session Flom Nathanson / Ward April 2014

6. Test Session ID TAs should: Write the test session ID on the board or another place where students can see it. The test session ID must be entered as it is written, without extra spaces or characters. Make sure to retain the session ID until testing is complete. If the student pauses the test during a test session, he/she will need to log back into the assessment with the same session ID. Keep a record of the session ID by date and time. Inform students of the test session in which they are participating. Flom Nathanson / Ward April 2014

7. Sample Student Sign-in Screen The confirmation code is generally the student’s first name. State-SSID is CT-Followed by 10 digit state id Session ID is provided by the proctor as described on p.6. Flom Nathanson / Ward April 2014

8. Test Content Area and Type TAs should: Inform students of the test session in which they are participating. In addition to the test session ID, TAs must clearly communicate to students whether they are participating in the performance task (PT) or non-performance task (non-PT) in English Language Arts or Mathematics. This will help ensure that students select the correct assessment. If TAs are unsure of which content area or test students are participating, TAs should contact the School Test Coordinator, District Test Coordinator or help desk at 1-855-833- 1969 or smarterbalancedhelpdesk@ets.org. Flom Nathanson / Ward April 2014

9. Sample Student Test Selection Screen The student will be able to select from more than one test. For example, a student may see a PT test and a Non-PT test in either or both ELA and Math (depending on the student’s test assignment). TAs should direct students to select the appropriate test name based on what the TA is planning to administer at that time. The TA should direct student to the content area “ELA” or “Math” and the test type “NonPT” or “PT”. The number or letter located at the very end of the test name may vary for students. This is an indicator of the test version. For example, if students are expected to participate in the Grade 3 Math Non PT, some students may see G03-Math-NonPT4 while others may see G03-Math-NonPT2.
