On Tuesday, May 15, 2018 we will start our SBAC testing for grades 3-8. It is very important to understand and adhere to the rules and security regulations of the testing process. It is also crucial that teachers are actively monitoring students as students take their tests, have covered classroom walls, and under no circumstances assist a student with questions and/or answers on the test.
Teachers please follow our testing schedule day to day and ensure that you have planned certain quiet activities for our early finishers so that the testing environment is not interrupted.
Few reminders:
- Charge Chromebooks
- Cover walls, doors, so there is nothing that might assist students while taking their tests.
- Have necessary door signs posted. You should have the following door signs on each testing room: a. “Testing – Please Do Not Disturb” & b. “Unauthorized electronic devices MAY NOT be used at any time during the testing session”
- Take attendance for period 1 and send students to their stations, copies of stations will be placed in your mail boxes.
- Students are in Alpha groups, send students by 8:15...PLEASE start by 8:30
- Students remain in their groups till lunch time-Plan quiet activities and follow block schedule for the afternoon
- Teachers read from the Directions for Administering (DFA) when starting the testing sessions
- Pause rules apply----If students take a break, then the student must pause his or her test so no one can see someone else’s test----Stay away from the "more than 20 mins pause"
- Answers and the scratch paper must be collected before the break and then redistributed when testing is to start again, discard when done
- Admin will be in and out to support
- Rima and Juell to take care of make-ups
- Auditors are coming, be ready, we had an auditor from Research last week but we had just finished Science so she did not go into classrooms.
- Test irregularities report to Rima
- Selected RSP students are testing in Rm. 31.
