The navigation and uses for Test Operations Management System (TOMS)

4. Overview

5. Overview Student Participation
Q: Who will take the online SBAC summative assessments?
A: All students in grades 3-8 and 11 are required to take the summative assessments.
The only students exempt from participating in the SBAC summative assessments are:
Students participating in the California Alternate Assessments (CAA)
English learners (ELs) who have been attending school in the United States for less than 12 months (for the ELA test only)
Students will be required to take the math assessment
John Brooke will send to schools the list of students less than 12 mos.

6. Overview Student Participation: Early Assessment Program
Pgs TAM
The Early Assessment Program (EAP) will be using the grade 11 SBAC summative assessments in ELA and mathematics in place of the grade 11 CSTs in ELA and/or mathematics, additional 15 questions and the ELA essay
Grade 11 students taking the SBAC summative assessments may choose to release their results to the CSU and participating CCCs at the end of the computer adaptive test
Students who do not authorize the release of their test results at the time of testing may need to provide a copy of the score report upon request of the campus
Students in grade 11 will participate in Early Assessment Program. At the end of the each test, (ELA and Math), they will be asked whether or not they want to release their results to the CSU and CCCs. If they do they should mark the check box that indicates their understanding that their CAASPP/EAP results will be shared. Students who choose not to release their results to the CSU and CCC will need to provide those results upon request at a later date.

7. Overview About the Summative Assessments
Content areas;
English language arts/literacy (ELA)
Mathematics
Two components per content area:
Computer adaptive test (CAT)
Performance task (PT)
Lets take a look of the structure of what test will look like. Students will take the full length ELA and Math test
Each content area is comprised of two components;
Cat and performance task
Test Item Types: Page 59 in the TAM

8. Overview About the Summative Assessments (Cont.)
Q: What is the CAT component of the online summative assessment? A: The computer adaptive portion (CAT) of the online test includes a wide variety of item types. As students progress throughout a CAT, the computer program adjusts the difficulty of questions throughout the assessment based on their responses. For example, a student who answers a question correctly will receive a more challenging item, while an incorrect answer generates an easier question.
by adapting to the student as the assessment is taking place, these assessment present an individually tailored set of questions to each student and quickly identifies which skills students have mastered

9. Overview About the Summative Assessments (Cont.)
Q: What is the PT component of the online summative assessment? A: The PT is designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge and high-order thinking skills to explore and analyze a complex, real world scenario. Prior to the PT, teachers or instructional staff conduct a Classroom Activity for all students to ensure that a lack of understanding of the context of the task does not interfere with a student’s ability to address the content of the task.

10. Overview Systems and Processes for Online Administration
Test Administrator Interface & Student Testing Site
Administer online Smarter Balanced assessments
TOMS
Verify student demographic data
Configure online test settings (designated supports and accommodations)
CALPADS
(California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System)
Manage student demographic data 1 2 3
This Diagram outlines the systems that will be used as we participate in the summative assessments
The first box is CALPADS; and it is the sole source in which student demographic data is managed. You will not be able to edit or modify this data in any other systems such as TOMS or the test administrator interface. The student data is uploaded on a nightly basis to TOMS
The next box is TOMS: here you will verify student data and also enter the students test settings, like the designated supports and accommodations
And the last box is the Test Administrator and student interface. The TA interface is for Teachers to log on to administer and manage student testing. And the student interface is where students log on to the secure browser to access their test

11. Roles and Responsibilities
LEA CAASPP Coordinator
Test Site Coordinator
Test Administrator
Technology Coordinator
CALPADS Administrator
The administration of the CAASPP online test administration involve the close collaboration among various roles. In many cases, we know that we fulfill more of these roles than is listed on these slides. The specific roles we will cover is the

As the summative test is based online, the role of the technology coordinator is very important.

16. Roles and Responsibilities CALPADS Administrator
Ensures student demographic, enrollment, and program participation data is correct in the CALPADS
Work closely with the District CAASPP Coordinator

17. Technology Infrastructure

18. Technology Infrastructure
Prior to the test administration, District CAASPP Coordinator with Technology Coordinator should review the technology infrastructure
Testing devices are working
Ensure that secure browsers are properly installed a minimum of two weeks before testing
Ensure the necessary hardware is available and working (i.e., headphones, external keyboards, printers)
Content filters, firewalls, and proxy servers configured
Stable (wired or wireless) internet connection
These are all considerations that must be prepared in order to ensure a proper and successful test administration

19. Secure Browser
Pgs TAM
Students must use the secure browser to log in to the Student Interface and access the summative test
Prevents students from accessing other hardware and software functions
Prior to testing, TAs should verify that:
External user applications are closed, secure browser will not work if the computer detects that a forbidden application is running
Volume must be tested before launching browser
Test Administrators (TA) will use a standard browser
No testing on computers with dual monitors
Students must not take the test on computers connected to more than one monitor
The secure browser has been specifically design for CAASPP to provide secure access to the online SBAC testing
Please read in TAM
Forbidden Application
If a forbidden application is launched in the background while the student is already in a test, the student will be logged off and a message
“A forbidden program has started, and you will be logged out. “Ask your TA for assistance” will display. The student will have to close the forbidden application , reopen the secure browser, and log on to continue working on the assessment. This would be considered a test security incident. A irregularity report must be completed.
Contact the helpdesk if need assistance in closing the application

20. Hardware Requirements
Headphones are required for each test station
English language arts/literacy (ELA) tests
Text-to-speech accommodation
Job Access with Speech (JAWS)
Microphones are not required
Headphones have been ordered for each cart.
Schools will receive headphones based on the amount of tablets they currently have

21. Test Administration

22. Preparing Students and Staff Practice and Training Test
There are multiple ways to prepare students and staff for the SBAC summative assessments:
Practice Test
Training Test
Purpose of the Practice Tests
Allows students and administrators to become familiar with the format and structure of the operational assessments
Scoring rubrics and answers are available on the TA Resource Web page at resources/index.html
All universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations are available
Please refer to Using the Online Practice and Training Test powerpoint that was sent to you. Just to let you know that you can continue to access training test up til the time of operational testing.

23. Preparing Students and Staff Practice and Training Test (Cont.)
There are two ways for accessing the Practice and Training Test:
Through caaspp.org on a Web browser
Through the secure browser
Simulates operational online testing environment
TAs may create test sessions for the Practice or Training Tests on the TA Practice and Training Site

An important thing to note is that all SBAC testing is untimed.

25. Test Administration Scheduling Testing Time (Cont.)
The estimates do not account for any time needed to start computers, and log in students
Recommended: CAT first, PTs second
The classroom activity should be completed within 3 days prior to administering a PT
ELA PTs have 2 parts and can be completed over 2 days
Mathematic PTs have 1 part and can completed in 1 day
PTs should not be administered on the same day as the classroom activity or the CAT
Recommended order
One of the reason to give the CAT first is because the CAT gives students a good introduction to the online assessments, where as the PT may be a little bit more involved or challenging if you will. That is SBAC recommendation.
CAT
Classroom Activity
Performance Task

26. Test Administrator Training
Ensure that TAs:
Sign Security Affidavits
Review the TA Reference Guide
Review Online Test Administration Manual Section 2.1 and 10.0
SBAC Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines
Review Training Modules
What is a CAT
What are Universal Tools
TAs should know testing procedures:
they have school site schedules
they are familiar with security procedures, and conduct associated with the administration of standardize assessments
Will send training PPt for TA’s
TA Reference Guide

27. Test Administration Establishing Appropriate Testing Conditions
Testing students in classroom-sized groups is preferable
Facilitates monitoring and control for TAs
Remove or cover displayed information that might be used by students to help answer questions
Rubrics, vocabulary charts, student work, graphs, charts, etc.
Establish procedures to maintain a quiet testing environment
Remember some students will finish more quickly than others
Cell phones or other electronic devices are not allowed to be used during testing
Post an “Unauthorized Electronic Devices” sign so that it is clearly visible to students and place a testing “Do Not Disturb” sign on doors to testing rooms

28. Test Administration General Testing Information
Students must answer all test items on a page before moving on to the next page
Students may not return to a test segment once it has been completed and submitted
Students must answer all test items before the test can be submitted
TAs must follow the “SAY” script exactly each time a test session is administered
Refer to the “SAY” boxes of the Online Test Administration Manual or Online Directions for Administration
So after establishing proper testing conditions, we need to go over the general testing rules
It is important to know the difference between a part and a segment
ELA PT has two parts, and one part for Math PT
For ELA Cat, there are two segments. For Math, there are anywhere between two to four segments
Students will see verification that the have come to the end of the segment. Once they have moved on, they cannot return to that segment
TAs will not see the end of the segments
Stand alone DFA is supposed to be posted

29. Using the Test Operations Management System (TOMS)
Task in Toms
Add and manage TAs
Gives them access to TA interface
Review student data
Demographic Data from CALPADS
Test enrollment
Assign online test setting to students
Designated Supports and Accommodations
TOMS can be accessed from the CAASPP Portal at
There are 4 fundamental tasks in TOMS that as Coordinators you need to be aware of.

30. Student accommodations and supports will not be uploaded in CALPADS
TOMS and CALPADS
CALPADS is the sole source for student demographic and program participation data for TOMS
Student accommodations and supports will not be uploaded in CALPADS
LEAs cannot update student demographic or program participation data in TOMS; must be updated in CALPADS
Processing time from CALPADS to TOMS is 48 hours
SCs must set designated supports and accommodations for the students in TOMS
IT sends out a weekly validation error report to secretaries and office managers and copies the principals.
It is critical that the information is corrected. Students will not be able to test with incorrect information.

31. Reviewing Student Data
Each student profile in TOMS includes:
Demographic data
Read-only; must be modified in CALPADS
Test enrollment
All students in grades 3-8 and 11 are automatically enrolled in the online SBAC summative assessments
Online test settings
Universal tools, designated supports, and accommodation
Each student that is in TOMS have a student profile. And there are three components.
With each profile there are three separate tabs.

32. Reviewing Student Data (Cont.)
Students’ grade levels must be correct in TOMS before testing
Grade levels are only correctable in CALPADS
All students who are going to test must appear in TOMS
If a student’s designated supports and accommodations information is incorrect, it must be updated in TOMS before he or she tests
As you review the student profiles in TOMS you want to ensure that:

33. Student Profile in TOMS: Demographics
All demographic data is read-only
Example of student profile in TOMS. As previously mentioned, there are 3 tabs
This is also where you can download a list of your students.

34. Student Profile in TOMS: Test Mode
The test mode refers to the test that students are enrolled in
All students in grades 3–8 and 11 are automatically enrolled in the online Smarter Balanced summative tests

35. Student Profile in TOMS: Test Settings
This is the test settings tab for you to enter student designated supports and accommodations

36. Assigning Accessibility Supports in TOMS
Student online test settings must be configured at least 24 hours prior to testing
Allow up to 24 hours from when you configure test settings in TOMS to when the changes appear in the TA and Student Testing Interface
LEA and School Coordinators are authorized to set accessibility supports for students in TOMS. TAs do not have the ability
One-by-one through student profile
Special Ed will initially upload students settings from SEIS
Coordinators will verify that information is correct
SEIS should have the capability to upload the student accessibity supports into TOMS. You will then need to verify information. check to see if information is correct.

37. What are Accessibility Supports?
Universal Tools:
Available to all; based on student preference and selection (i.e., strikethrough, highlighter)
Designated Supports:
Need to be indicated by an educator or guardian (i.e., color contrast, read aloud, glossary, magnification)
Accommodations:
Based on individualized education programs (IEPs) or Section 504 plans (i.e., American Sign Language, scribe)
There are 3 features of the online assessibility supports for SBAC.

38. What are Accessibility Supports? (Cont.)
The online assessments include embedded and non-embedded accessibility supports
Embedded: part of the computer administration (i.e., digital notepad, calculator)
Non-embedded: provide outside the computer administration (i.e., scratch paper, multiplication table)

39. What are Accessibility Supports? (Cont.)

This table helps you see all of the embedded and non embedded accessibility supports that are available for students.
The supports in red fonts must be configured the day of the test.
Accessibility Supports Resources and information is posted on Assessment Website
Also posted on CAASPP.org
*Must be activated in the test delivery system.
**Print on demand for stimuli only can be activated in TOMS. If a student(s) need print on demand for items and/or items and stimuli, contact CalTAC at least 24 hours prior to testing.

40. Administering a Test Session
Pg. 41 TAM
The TA logs on to the TA Interface from on a standard Web browser
The TA logs on using his/her username and password
Review TA user guides

41. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA selects the test category or the grade and content area
The start test session button will be gray until a test is selected.
Category is the CAT test vs PT
Grade and content is ELA or Math

42. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA selects the tests to administer
Additional test can be added to a session; you will receive a confirmation message box
The TA starts a test session
When you select the test, you will have a drop down, the start session button will be active

43. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA informs students of the test Session ID
Write or display clearly in a place all students can see
Session IDs are automatically generated upon selecting the [Start Session] button
Additional test can be added to a session. You will receive a confirmation message box
When you click on Start Session, you will see a Session ID generated. The session ID is what links the students to the particular test the combination of the session id and selected test is what gives the students the ability to select their test. This is an important security step, so be careful that you select the correct test.
If you find later that there is another test you need to select, you can always add it. However you cannot delete it once it is added to the session

44. Distributing Student Logon Information
TAs need to provide students with the Session ID , the students Statewide Student Identifier (SSID), and confirmation code (student first name in CALPADS) for logon
May be provided on a card or piece of paper
TAs may write the Session ID on a board where students can see it
Note: if the session ID is not written down or known and the TA tries to log on to the session after getting involuntarily logged off of the system, the TA will be logged off for eight hours before he or she is able to start a new session
For students to start a test, they will need the session iD.
It is recommended that you write down the Session ID on a board where students can see it. Or on a piece of paper for the TA to have in case of a disruption on computer, or if you need to move computers for some reason.

45. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Students log on through the secure browser
To log on, students need:
First Name (Confirmation Code): Student’s legal first name as spelled in CALPADS
State-SSID “CA” followed by a hyphen “-” and the student’s SSID
Session ID: TA-generated session ID

46. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Students verify their identity
After logging on, students will see the “Is This You” screen
Students should select [Yes] to continue
Once students get to the is this you screen, it is important that the student checks the information is correct.

47. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Students select the test
All grade-level tests that the student is eligible to take are displayed
Only the tests that the TA selected for the test session and those that have not been completed are selectable by students
Students will then see screen showing the test they are eligible to take. If their green it means their eligible and active in this session. If they are grayed out, they are not active in this session.
If a student had started a test before and is coming back to resume the test, there will be a broken arrow on the screen.
If a student was looking for a test that is grayed out, this would be the time for the TA to add the test that was needed.

48. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Upon selecting a test, students will wait for TA approval
As students select tests, the TA will see approvals populate in the Approvals queue of the TA Interface
Once student selects test, they will see a little box saying waiting for TA approval, now it’s back in the TAs hands. As the students select the test, the TA will see approvals populate in Approvals queue. The box will show the students name and show the test they are seeking approval for.

49. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA selects the [Approvals (#)] button to access the Approvals and Student Test Settings screen
Once the TA selects the button, they will see the test and students waiting to be given approval. This is another check you want to make sure the student that is waiting is actually sitting in the room. This is also where you can click on the See/Edit details button to confirm the student test settings. Remember TAs will only see settings in read-only mode

50. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA verifies the student has selected the appropriate test and reviews the students’ test settings by selecting [See/Edit Details] button next to each student
Only need to check for students in session that are using special accommodations, etc.

51. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
The TA selects [Set] to confirm the current test settings and return to the list of students awaiting approval
The TA will still have to approve the student for testing OR
The TA selects [Set & Approve] to establish the existing settings and approve the student for testing
If student information is incorrect, then student will not be able to test that day because the setting information has to be changed. And remember it takes up to 48 hours for corrections to appear.
Note: If a student’s test settings are incorrect, TAs should deny the student, contact the School CAASPP Coordinator to correct the test settings in TOMS, and test the student on another day

52. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Upon reviewing test settings for all students, the TA approves students to test on the Approvals and Student Test Setting screen
Select [Approve] to approve a specific student for testing
Select [Approve All Students] to approve all students
Once test settings are reviewed, now the TA can approve the students. Either individually or approve all students.
One thing, in the TA interface, there is a refresh now button in the upper left hand side. If you are in this screen looking at students, the system is not going to automatically refresh the screen. You should click refresh now to update the list. If they are not in this screen the TA interface will refresh every minute.
Be very careful if you gonna click approve all. It may be easier to go through and approve one by one to make sure everything is correct. Once you approve all, every student will be approved and be able to start testing.

53. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
After the TA has approved a student for testing, the student will verify the test information and settings
The student will select [Yes, Start My test] to begin testing or [No] if their settings are incorrect
Once you have approved the student, the student will see screen is this your test?
This is another chance for student to see if this is correct. If it is student will select yes. If not student should select no and wait for TA to correct problem.

54. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
If a student has a text-to-speech accommodation or is taking a test with ELA listening items, he or she will verify the audio checks through headphones
Test with listening items audio check
Once the students clicks yes to move on, there will be either one or two sound checks.
The first one “you hear the voice” will be text to speech.
The second one, the sound check will only be there for test that have listening items.
If the computer sound is off or turned down. Nothing you do here will help. So you want to make sure that the sound settings on the computers are on and turned up before students log on.
Text-to-speech audio check

55. Administering a Test Session (Cont.)
Finally, students will see the Test Instructions and Help page before they begin testing
Students will select [Begin Test Now] to begin testing
The student will then go to an instruction and help screen which has information about which button or navigation tools that they would use in the interface. And then when they select Begin Testing they are off and running.

56. Monitoring Student Progress
TAs can monitor student testing through the Students in Your Test Session table on the TA Interface
Displays students who have logged in and been approved for testing
While the students are testing, the TA will be able to monitor their progress in the TA interface. The fields they see will be:
Student names, SSID
The opportunity number, which will be one, since they only have 1 opportunity
The test the student is taking
The test settings, whether they are the default or custom
The binoculars will take you to the see/edit details screen.
You will also see the student status; it may say for example, paused.
And then you have the pause button.

57. Pausing Test
Pgs TAM
TAs may pause an individual student’s test in the Students in Your Test Session table
This will not affect other students’ tests
So the pause, will stop the students test.
If a test is paused for twenty minutes, the student will not be able to review the previous completed items. If it paused for less than 20 minutes, students will be able to go back and review.

58. General Pause Rules
If there is a technical issue (i.e., power outage, network failure), students will be logged out and the test will be automatically paused. Student work will not be lost it will be saved.
Students log back on with Session ID that was written on board to pick up where they left off
If a test is paused, students will have to log back in to resume testing
Note:
Highlighted text and global notes will not be preserved
So why would you do a pause, if the student needed:
A bathroom break
They need to change machines, the laptop lost battery power. You would pause the test
The ELA performance task global notes will be preserved in the case of a pause, but all CAT items and the math PT digital notes will not be preserved.

59. Pause Rules: Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)
If a CAT is paused for more than 20 minutes, the student is:
Presented with the test page containing the test item he or she was working on (if the page contains at least 1 unanswered item) OR
Presented with next test page (if all items on the previous test page was answered)
Not permitted to review or change any test items on previous test pages
If a Cat is paused for less than 20 minutes, the student is:
Presented with the test item or passage he or she was working on when the test was paused
Permitted to answer previously shown items within a segment

60. Pause Rules: Performance Task
There are no pause rules for PTs
Even if a PT is paused for more than 20 minutes, the student can return to the current section and continue
ELA PTs are divided into two parts
After a student completes the first part, he or she cannot return to it
A message is given to students letting them know they cannot return

61. Timeout Due to Inactivity
As a security measure, students are automatically logged out of the test after 30 minutes of inactivity
Activity means
Selecting an answer
Using a navigation option in the test (i.e. selecting [Next] or [Back], using the questions drop-down list)
NOTE: Moving the mouse or selecting an empty space on the screen is NOT considered activity
So that was the pause rules, but there is also a timeout rule
Before the system logs out, there will be a warning screen.
Same is true for TA interface, if no students are testing it will timeout too.

62. Stopping an Entire Test Session
TAs can stop a test session ( and therefore pause tests for all students in a session
Select the [Stop Session] on the upper-left corner of the TA Interface
An “Important!’ box will appear, requesting verification to end the session and log students out
Select [OK] to continue or [Cancel] to keep the test session open

63. Reaching the End of the Test
After students answer the last item of the test, the [End] test button will appear in the upper-left corner of the screen
The students will see an end test button

64. Reaching the End of the Test
Upon selecting the [End Test] button, an “Attention” message will appear
Students will select [Yes] to proceed with reviewing answers and submitting the test

65. Reaching the End of the Test
Students may review answers before submitting a test
If students marked any items for review, they would see a flag here to help them know which items to go back to. Or they can go back to all the items. Assuming the pause rules doesn’t impact it.
One they finish reviewing items, they would click on submit test.

66. Reaching the End of the Test
When a student is ready to submit the test, he or she will receive a confirmation screen
They will then get a box that says successfully submitted. Students will not be able to go back to test after submitting. They will then click logout and get out of the secure browser.
Except for the grade 11 students. They will have the EAP question about submitting there scores to a CSU or CCC

67. Test Expiration Rules
A student’s CAT test remains active until the student completes and submits the test or 45 calendar days after the students have begun the CAT
A PT test remains active for 10 calendar days after a student has begun it
Important: Student personal information is secure and must be collected and securely stored at the end of a test session, then securely destroyed at the end of the test administration.
Which means if a student leaves one school in the middle of a performance task, as long as ten days haven’t went by he can complete it at the new school.

68. Classroom Activity Administration Guidelines
Pgs TAM
Purpose: to provide students with important context, concepts, and key terms prior to taking the PT
All students will have a classroom activity before they complete a PT
A class activity may be administered in a classroom or any other appropriate space
Class activity will take place on a separate day from the PT
No more than a 3-day lapse between the class activity and the PT administration
Be sure to real in TAM the Classroom Activity Section

69. Classroom Activity Administration Guidelines (Cont.)
Computers, projectors, and other technology are allowed but not required for the class activity
Involves the participation of all students in an instructional tasks
PT will be completed by individual students on the testing device
Students may take notes during the class activity, but notes must be collected prior to taking the PT
Students are not allowed to take the notes from class activity to performance task administration.

70. Classroom Activity Administration Guidelines (Cont.)
