Weekly Update: Tulsa Testing

OCCT Materials and Additional Orders
Most of you have gone through your boxes and are determining the best way to utilize your test booklets to accommodate small groups. Let's talk about the craziness of 5th grade science...there are 15 test forms! When you're setting up your read aloud groups, you may need to schedule groups of 3 or you can always email testing to get a few more copies of booklets. Form 1 in science is becoming extremely scarce in my pile- I have ordered more though.
Please remember to include the following information when you order more materials:
- Grade Level
- Subject
- Type (i.e. Test Book or Answer Document)
- Number
- Specify which form is needed
The Enrollment Center hours are 8am-4:30pm. Any staff member from your school is welcome to pick up these materials as long as they have a TPS badge.

The SDE has a PowerPoint posted for the OAAP Pearson training on their website. Share this with your OAAP special education teachers~ Save yourself some time and jump ahead to Slide 14.

Online Training Modules
- Test proctors and administrators may download and view this year's training.
- Each module has a quiz for understanding and a printable certificate of completion at the end.
- BTCs must keep copies of training certificates for TAs and Proctors who take advantage of the online training modules in their testing binder. You will only have TAs and Proctors sign your form in the binder if you trained them.
DLM Testing UPdates
We have recently been notified that DLM is randomly selecting students for field testing (all subjects, all grades). The test tickets for these testlets have an 'R' notation in the testlet name.
