Assignments

Classroom Activities for the SBAC Performance Tasks (Special Test Forms)

Multiple test forms associated with each classroom activity

Test forms will be automatically assigned through TIDE and the Test Delivery System (Student Information System must reflect true attending/resident schools and district)

Braille, American Sign Language (ASL), Spanish Translation (math), and non-English glossaries (math) are not available on all test forms.

These designated supports and accommodations must be entered in TIDE at least two days before testing

Performance Task Scenarios

If a student moves to a new school after starting a Smarter Balanced performance task, and the new school is assigned a different classroom activity than the original school, the student will be assigned a new test form that corresponds to the classroom activity assigned to the new school.

Please check with the student’s original school to determine whether the student has already completed a PT. If they have, the student does not need to take a second PT.

Performance Task Scenarios

If a student starts a performance task assessment and then moves to a new school before completing the performance task assessment, the new school may want the student to complete his or her original test form rather than start a new test form that corresponds to the classroom activity associated with the new school. If this happens, please contact your ESD partner to discuss having the original performance task assessment form reassigned to the student.

Embedded Glossaries-Audio (math only)

Available on Practice Tests 2/13/15 & on Operational Tests 3/10/15

ELPA Update

Regular ELPA Practice Test was updated over weekend to remove graphic response drag and drop items and hot text sample items.

NOTE: Speaking short response items were field tested last year in middle and high school. Middle and high school student will not receive these graphics on the operational tests, but they are still on the practice tests.

ELPA Update

Please report technical issues to your Regional ESD Partner. If reporting issues to AIR via email, copy your Regional ESD Partner. You will be issued an helpdesk ticket number, which will guide remaining communications to fix the issue. AIR will close tickets if contacts do not respond to follow-ups after multiple attempts.

All TAs: Do not send student identifiable information via email as this is a FERPA violation.

ELPA21 Field Test

We are in early days of the HS field test—K-8 will open next Monday.

Make sure participating TA, STC, and DTC roles sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to testing. Training modules for the ELPA21 Field Test are on the admin site, including a Surveymonkey for the NDA, which leads to the PDUs that all participating roles may receive (3 hours total) once they have completed training.
