  4. CAHSEE Requirement • All students must satisfy the CAHSEE requirement, as well as all other state and local requirements, to receive a California public high school diploma. • The CAHSEE requirement can be satisfied by passing the examination, or for eligible students with disabilities, meeting the exemption requirements pursuant to EC Section 60852.3, or receiving a local waiver pursuant to EC Section 60851(c). • Exemption extended to July 2012 (SBE approved 2/9/11)

CAHSEE Testing Opportunities • Grade ten: one time (March with May as make-up) • Grade eleven: *two times • Scheduled for November & March • Grade twelve: *at least three, but up to five times • Scheduled for November, February, & May • Adult students: *three times * May participate in successive administrations.

  6. Before Testing • Read the responsibilities and procedures in the “test site coordinator” section of the District Test Site Coordinator’s Manual • Inform parents, students and teachers about testing schedule • Train test examiners and all other support personnel for role • Secure test materials at all times when not in use for test administration; do not remove the shrink-wrap until absolutely necessary H

  7. Security • Test Examiners must check out and check in testing materials on each day of testing (verifying the count and signing for them) • Account for materials before dismissing students from testing room • Security Affidavits – all “contact” personnel, each administration

  8. During Testing H

  9. During Testing • Make sure that each student signs name in Box 1 • Enter the version number and the barcode number from the back of the test booklet onto the answer document in each portion of the test

  10. Administration Reminders • Scratch paper is not allowed. • Do not allow students to use extra paper to answer their ELA writing tasks. • All responses to math and ELA items, including writing task, must be recorded with No. 2 pencil on a single answer document. • Transcribe student answers as required: • As a condition of student’s IEP or 504 Plan • Student used word processor for essay • Student used more than one answer document; transcribed into a single document

  11. Special Education Coding • Accommodations and Modifications (Box 13) • 13 a. Student had access (grid with signature) • 13 b. Used (grid AFTER the exam) • Assessed with CAPA (Box 14) • Special Education Exit Date (Box 15)

  12. Scheduling Makeup Testing • Record the names of Grade 10 students who missed one or both census sessions • FAX CAHSEE Absence Tracker form to 771-8672 by noon on March 9 • Plan for make-up session (May) H

  13. After Testing • Check answer documents • Check that Box 3 Score Code is completed on every scorable answer document. (See page 63 in DTSCM)

  14. After Testing (Continued) • Batch all answer documents are by grade with School and Grade Identification (SGID); scorables in separate box(es); “ABSENT” documents are returned as SCORABLE • Label all non-scorable precoded answer documents to indicate the reason

  15. Batches with Separate SGIDs • Grade 10 census: required for every grade 10 enrolled student at time of testing including absent • Grade 10 make-up: must have been reported “Absent” during Census • Grade 11 • Grade 12 • Adult Education students

  16. School and Grade Identification (SGID) Sheet Tangerine Grade 10 only SAMPLE BURGUNDY Grade 11 only GREEN Grade 12 only PURPLE Adult education only

  17. SGID for Grade 10 Census or Make-Up • School might have: • Census batch only • Make-up batch only • Both census and make-up batches Return an answer document for every grade 10 student enrolled in school on March 8, including students who are absent and students who take the CAPA. Return an answer document for only those grade 10 students who took the exam.

  18. District-provided labels Place BLUE Shipping Labels on boxes with scorable answer documents H Place PINK Shipping labels on boxes with non-scorable materials Material Return Dates ~ 2011 Spring Administrations

  19. STAR Site Coordinator Responsibilities M 54 • Prevent errors • Keep secure • Verify materials are markedcorrectly to ensure correctstudent scores • Guarantee correct enrollment counts • Return materials promptly

  20. Coordinator’s Role in Accountability Prepare Precoding Lists, lists, lists – Check, research, REPORT Restore Data Corrections prior to first day of testing Late labels reflective of new students between precode and 1st day; change in assessment Prevent Document review after testing H

Administration: Train Examiners Assure understanding of role before testing Remove/Cover instructional materials directly related to the content of the tests including, but not limited to: • Tables of mathematical facts or formulas • Vocabulary or spelling lists • Writing materials such as charts that show capitalization, punctuation, or grammar rules • Phonics charts • Inappropriate history and science materials (for example, maps, timelines, periodic table of elements, formulas)

  22. Administration: Train Examiners Distribute test materials to correct students Be very careful with similar names – Check date of birth Make sure students code correct EOC math or science test taken Make sure students code correct test version number Follow Directions For Administration (DFA) Read “Say” boxes exactly as written Students cannot go back to previous part of test

  23. Administration: Train Examiners Assure understanding of role during testing Proctoring is continuous monitoring Tracking and reporting absences Recording special circumstances and/or variations on AD Assure understanding of role after testing Daily return and inventory of test materials Assuring that tests are complete and ready to be submitted for scoring
