11. New Students Students who enroll in your School during your testing window: – If in the school’s initial testing window for the student’s grade and content area, then the student will need to test – If in the school’s makeup testing window for the student’s grade and content area, then it is a school decision to test the student – If the student comes from another CO district, check to see if the student tested or started testing CBT started tests can be moved by CDE to the new school PBT tests that are started can be securely transported to the new district Contact CSI for procedures to use in these cases. 11

16. Guidelines for Administration Time 16 Task Time to be Allotted for an Administration Preparing for testing (includes reading instructions to students and answering questions) 10 minutes (recommended) Distributing test materials 5 minutes (recommended) PARCC ELA unit testing times PARCC Math unit testing time 75-110 minutes* 60-90 minutes* ES/MS Science and Social Studies section testing time HS Science section testing time (this is a change) 80 minutes 60 minutes Completing end-of-unit activities, including closing units, and collecting test materials 5–15 minutes (recommended) *Testing time depends on unit and subject—refer to Testing Multiple Grades handout.

19. 19 Guidelines for Administration Time Guidelines for Administration Time (continued) Schedule the entire amount of Unit/Section Testing Time. Once the Unit/Section Testing Time has elapsed, the unit/section must end. If all students have completed the unit/section, the unit/section may be ended (no minimum testing time). A student may be allowed an extended time accommodation only if listed in his or her IEP, 504 Plan, or EL Plan. PARCC: time-and-a-half is not included in Unit Testing Time. Science and Social Studies: time-and-a-half is included in the Section Testing Time

20. Guidelines for Breaks 20 Breaks Between units/sections, scheduled breaks may occur. During a unit/section, short “stand-and-stretch” breaks may be permitted at the discretion of the Test Administrator. Time stops for the unit, but only for up to 3 minutes. If you know you will take the 3 minute break, add the time in to the timing box at the beginning of the unit/section. 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.Unit 1 / Section 1 10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.Scheduled Break 10:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.Unit 2 / Section 2

21. Scheduling Considerations Test units/sections can only be administered to students in consecutive order. – Only PARCC make-ups may be administered out of order. PBT: A school must administer the same unit/section to all PBT students within the same day (e.g., all Grade 4 Unit I Math on Tuesday). CBT: To the extent possible, all students within the school should be assessed at the same time. If not possible, all students should be assessed within the shortest timeframe practicable. 21

22. Scheduling Considerations Schedule first CBT group on the first day with more of a time cushion than other groups if possible. Determine whether one content area will be completed before beginning the next, or if testing will alternate between the content areas (make-ups excluded). Determine whether the school wants to condense testing (make-ups excluded) or spread throughout the testing window. Determine how many sections/units will be taken by students per day (make-ups excluded). 22

23. Scheduling Sessions 23 If the unit/section testing time and directions are the same, different grades can be administered in the same room. – Algebra I and Geometry can be administered in the same room. – ELA and math cannot be administered in the same room because the directions are different. – Ensure that all calculator/non-calculator sections are the same (Grade 7). – Elementary and middle school science and social studies: CBT can be administered in the same room. PBT cannot be administered in the same room as materials and directions are different. – High school science cannot be administered with elementary or middle school science. PBT and CBT cannot be administered in the same environment. Students from different grade levels taking the same assessment (Algebra I for grades 8-9) can be combined in a testing environment.

29. User Roles - PearsonAccess next users must be assigned roles. Permissions - Each User Role contains a set of permissions that determine which tasks a specific User Role can perform in PearsonAccess next. Permissions are bundled into User Roles. Once a user has a specific role, they can grant that role to another user account. Reference the User Role Matrix for additional information on role permissions and which roles can be assigned. The User Role Matrix can be found by clicking Support in the banner, selecting Documentation and then searching or filtering for that document. User Accounts 29

44. Prior Access for Accommodations PARCC - Human Reader or Signer (Oral Script) – Math will have oral scripts available (will follow audio guidelines) – ELA and CSLA require a unique accommodation – Prior to materials arriving – review and understand the audio guidelines – Review the text-to-speech tutorial so that the audio guidelines are understood and are used when presenting test content orally to a student – Two days prior to testing, a TA may have supervised access to the assessment to determine how to apply the audio guidelines. The TA must check the materials in and out each day Science and Social Studies – PBT English and Spanish oral scripts 24 hours prior to testing – CBT and PBT translated oral scripts, including Signed presentation, 5 days prior to testing – Teacher Notes for braille assessment 24 hours May verify the correct form has been received upon shipment arrival 44
