7 Part 1 Overview for the Spring 2014 Administration of the TCAP Purpose of the TCAP The Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) is Colorado s largescale standardized achievement test. The purpose of the TCAP is to provide an annual measure of student performance relative to the Colorado Model Content Standards. Where the current blueprint allows, items will represent the overlap between the Colorado Model Content Standards and the new Colorado Academic Standards. The TCAP is a timed, standardized assessment and must be administered under standardized conditions to ensure the reliability and validity of results. The TCAP is a timed, standardized assessment. It must be administered under standardized conditions to ensure the reliability and validity of results. Using the TCAP Test Proctor s Manual The TCAP Test Proctor s Manual must be used by the TCAP Test Proctor during the administration of the TCAP. The guidelines and test administration script provided in this manual ensure that every student in Colorado receives the same standard directions during the administration of the test.

8 Test Security Security requirements The security of test materials must be maintained before, during, and after test administration. Security requirements include making sure that: no test materials are reproduced a documented Chain of Custody is maintained for all test materials all students take the TCAP tests in a standardized manner per state requirements Test materials must not be reproduced. Reproducing test materials No test materials may be reproduced in whole or in part or paraphrased. This includes discussing, memorizing, photocopying, photographing, scanning, encoding, ing, Morse code, note taking, text messaging, blogging and other forms of social networking, or any other reproduction methodology that would violate the security of the test. The TCAP Test Proctor must adhere to the following guidelines: Do not copy, by any means, any student work that results from this assessment, unless required as part of an accommodated test administration. Do not reproduce materials from a test book by any means. Do not review or read test items, unless required as part of an accommodated test administration. Do not share knowledge of the content of any secure test item with anyone. Note: Transcribed tests and all related materials used during the transcription process must be returned to the School Assessment Coordinator (SAC). Chain of Custody A documented Chain of Custody must be maintained for all test materials before, during, and after test administration. The following are Chain of Custody requirements for the TCAP administration: Secure materials must be delivered to school buildings no more than one week in advance of test administration. All test materials must be accounted for. The SAC must store the test materials in a secure and locked location before and after testing. Test materials must not be stored in classrooms. The SAC is responsible for the distribution of test materials to TCAP Test Proctors and for the collection of the test materials at the end of each testing session. TCAP Test Proctors may have access to test books only on the day the content area is assessed. However, when two content areas are tested on the same day, both test books must not be passed out to the TCAP Test Proctors at 2 TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

9 the same time. For example, the reading/writing test books must not be distributed during the time that mathematics is tested. This prevents the wrong test from being administered at the wrong time, which may result in misadministrations. Test books must be secured while in the TCAP Test Proctor s possession. Students must not have access to the test books before the first testing session. Missing test books or any test irregularities must be reported to the School Assessment Coordinator and/or the District Assessment Coordinator (DAC). All test materials, both used and unused, must be returned to CTB/McGraw-Hill. No test materials may be destroyed. All large-print, Braille, high-contrast, and other alternate-response test books and all materials used for transcribing student responses must be returned to CTB/McGraw-Hill. Ensuring Standard Conditions Test security requires that all students take the tests in a standardized manner at the same time, using the same test, and with no student interaction. Multiple grades and multiple content areas must not be tested in the same testing environment. Students must not have access to the test books before the first testing session. Multiple grades and multiple content areas must not be tested in the same testing environment. Students who Become Ill During Testing If a student becomes ill during a test administration, the student may make up any incomplete or missed sessions at a later time, but he or she must not change responses to any questions already answered. Students Who Move on to Another Session Without Permission If students complete one session of a test and then proceed to the next session without receiving specific instructions from a TCAP Test Proctor to do so, the test has been misadministered. The standard consequence of misadministering a test is the invalidation of that test. If a TCAP Test Proctor discovers that a student has proceeded to another session without proper instructions to do so, the TCAP Test Proctor must immediately stop the student and take the test book from the student. The content area assessment must then be invalidated using the misadministration code on the student data grid. The student must not be allowed to complete the session. Though the student will receive a no score for this content area, the district will still receive some information regarding the student s performance in the electronic reports provided to the district. Therefore, the student should complete any remaining sessions in this content area that are scheduled to be administered. Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

10 Standard Conditions for a Standardized Test Standard Conditions The TCAP must be administered to all students in Colorado in a standardized manner. The TCAP Test Proctor must prepare and maintain a secure testing environment that provides standard testing conditions for all students taking the TCAP. Electronic communication devices including, but not limited to, cell phones, digital cameras, and handheld scanners are not allowed in the testing environment during testing. Test Preparation Requirements Students must not have access to the test books before the first testing session. Only standard, wooden, graphite-based No. 2 pencils must be used on the test books. Mechanical pencils and pens must not be used on any part of the test books. Test sessions must be given in the order in which they appear in the test books. TCAP Test Proctors must follow the test administration script exactly as it is written. Electronic communication devices including, but not limited to, cell phones, digital cameras, and handheld scanners are not allowed in the testing environment during testing. Classroom manipulatives must not be used in place of the punch-out tools provided with the mathematics assessments. The use of calculators is not allowed for any part of the mathematics assessments, with two exceptions: Session 3 in both grade 9 and grade 10. If students require specific accommodations, consult with the School Assessment Coordinator to ensure the appropriate accommodation is administered in the proper manner. If a student asks for clarification of test directions before the test begins, the oral directions from the test administration script may be repeated to the entire class. If students finish a test session before the allotted time for that session has ended, they may be allowed to read a book. Students must not be allowed to write. Preparing the Testing Environment The testing environment must be prepared in advance of test administration to ensure standard conditions are provided for all students taking the TCAP. All reference materials such as wall charts, visual aids, posters, graphic organizers, and instructional materials that may be perceived as offering assistance in answering test questions must be covered or removed before testing begins. The TCAP Test Proctor must cover or remove the following: multiplication tables number lines that demonstrate odd/even or decimal/fractional parts 4 TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

11 tables of mathematical facts or formulas fraction equivalents writing aids and punctuation charts spelling or vocabulary lists phonics charts The TCAP Test Proctor must contact the SAC if there are any questions regarding specific displays. Preparing Students for Testing Before testing begins, students should be instructed to clear their desks of all materials, including pens, highlighters, colored pencils, markers, and calculators. Students must use only standard, wooden, graphite-based No. 2 pencils to respond to test questions. Only responses marked with No. 2 pencils can be scanned and scored. The TCAP Test Proctor must prepare students for testing by: Students must use only standard, wooden, graphitebased No. 2 pencils to mark or write answers. helping students approach testing in a relaxed, positive way encouraging students to put forth their best efforts explaining that it is important to do their best because the TCAP measures their academic growth from year to year explaining that by achieving proficiency on the TCAP, students will be able to progress in their skills and knowledge and be better prepared for the world of work and higher education Important Precautions During Testing It is important that the following precautions be observed: Do not provide feedback, including any hint about the correctness of a response or any guidance on work in the draft booklet. Do not coach, edit, or point out errors in student work. Do not encourage students to edit their responses through tone, gesture, or questions or statements such as Are you sure? Look at that again, or You can write more. Do not clarify test items. Do not answer content-related questions. Do not interfere with the demonstration of skills. Do not interact with the students in any way unless they are working in the wrong session or are behaving in a manner that might result in their test session being invalidated. Do not attempt to score student responses on the TCAP before returning the tests to CTB/McGraw-Hill. Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education. TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 5

12 Ethical Practices All licensed Colorado educators and TCAP Test Proctors must conform to ethical practice when administering the TCAP. Ethical practice is defined by the American Heritage and Merriam-Webster dictionaries as the accepted professional standards of conduct with respect to the rightness and wrongness of their actions and the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions. Quality instruction will produce quality student performance on state tests. While teaching test-taking strategies and providing some regular instruction using formats similar to those found on standardized tests is appropriate, instruction that is explicitly designed as practice for the TCAP provides students with negative messages about what is important to their education and performance. This is not considered ethical practice. Further clarification regarding appropriate test preparation is provided in the table below. Test Preparation for TCAP Developing instructional objectives based on the Colorado Model Content Standards and/or the new Colorado Academic Standards. Making changes in instruction that enhance student skills, learning, and achievement. Using TCAP-released items for professional development purposes and as examples in the classroom. Using TCAP-released items to familiarize students with the different item formats, to show how to indicate responses, and for general test-taking strategies. Motivating students to perform well on the assessment by talking to students and their parents. Developing curriculum based on specific TCAP items. Preparing instructional objectives based on specific TCAP items and teaching accordingly, rather than developing instructional objectives based on the content standards. Using TCAP-released items as the sole basis for curriculum and instruction. Sharing an actual TCAP test instrument in a public forum (which is a violation of test security and could invalidate student results). Copying test passages, test items, writing prompts, and/or student responses from an actual TCAP assessment for use in instructional planning, classroom instruction, or assessment. Making a copy of the TCAP and/or preparing a student study guide based on the items on a particular assessment. Is This an Ethical Practice? YES X X X X X NO X X X X X X 6 TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

13 Test Preparation for TCAP Is This an Ethical Practice? YES NO Copying the vocabulary words from TCAP test items, reading passages, or writing prompts (as opposed to words from the test directions), and using them as the basis for, or incorporating them into, language arts instruction. Presenting items verbatim or paraphrased from the assessment to be given. Knowingly deviating from the prescribed administration procedures in the TCAP Test Proctor s Manual in order to assist student performance. Leaving visible word walls, vocabulary posters, spelling words, multiplication tables, or any other aids that could artificially inflate student scores or that are expressly forbidden in TCAP manuals. Allowing students to use dictionaries, thesauri, or word processors with spell and grammar check on the reading and writing assessments. Scribing the essence of a student s response rather than scribing exact student responses including grammatical errors and incorrect responses when scribing is the accommodation. Telling students the correct responses or allowing them to discuss answers among themselves. Hinting to a student to reconsider an answer he or she has marked for any item. Allowing the use of notes or other materials that may give students an unfair advantage. Changing responses that students have written or bubbled in. Excluding eligible, but lower-performing, students from the TCAP by: encouraging lower-performing, special education, or limited English proficient students to stay home during the testing period to artificially boost apparent school performance sending on field trips or dismissing lower-performing, special education, or limited English proficient students during the testing period to artificially inflate apparent school performance encouraging students who are not reading at grade level to stay home during the reading portion of the TCAP Not providing a student with the allowable accommodations on the TCAP that are normally used by him or her during regular assessment situations, including district, school, and classroom assessments. Providing a student with accommodations on the assessment that are not normally used by him or her during regular assessment situations, including district, school, and classroom assessments.

This reminder means that you have reached the end of the session and that you must not go on to the next page. You should go back and check your answers to each question in this session only. Bubbles next to your answers should be filled in completely. All other bubbles should be empty. Be sure to make your marks heavy and dark. If you want to change an answer, completely erase the mark you made before making a new mark. You should erase any stray marks in all other bubbles. Hold up a STOP page so that all students can see it. At the end of Session 1, you will see a page with the text ATTENTION! STOP. Do NOT turn the page until you are told to do so. You must not go beyond this page. Are there any questions? Point to the planning space on page TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

19 Planning space is provided in your test book for questions that ask you to write a paragraph. You may choose to plan your writing, but you will not receive any points for planning. You will be scored only on the paragraph you write. We will begin by doing some sample questions. These are some of the types of questions you will be answering during this session. You will mark or write your answers to the sample questions in the test book. Turn to the sample questions on page 3. GRADE 3 (English) Check to make sure students are on the correct page. Samples a and b Read Sample A. Fill in the bubble for the answer you choose. When you have finished Sample A, stop working. Give students time to answer Sample A. Then discuss the sample with them. The correct answer for Sample A is I went to the fair with Grandma last week because that sentence tells the main idea for the paragraph. Are there any questions? Now read Sample B. Fill in the bubble for the answer you choose. When you have finished Sample B, stop working. Give students time to answer Sample B. Then discuss the sample with them. The correct answer for Sample B is His cousins because it is plural and correctly completes the sentence. Are there any questions? Turn to page 4 and find Samples C, D, and E. Check to make sure students are on the correct page. Samples C, D, and E Read Sample C. Fill in the bubble for the answer you choose. When you have finished Sample C, stop working.

When you have finished Sample E, stop working. Give students time to answer Sample E. Then discuss the sample with them. The correct answer for Sample E is the third option: the sentence that shows George with a capital G and shows I capitalized both times. This answer is correct because George is a name, so it should be capitalized; I refers to the speaker, so it should be capitalized. Are there any questions? Now look at Sample F on page 5. Sample F Read Sample F. Fill in the bubble for the answer you choose. When you have finished Sample F, stop working. Give students time to answer Sample F. Then discuss the sample with them. The correct answer for Sample F is Use Topic Sentence 1 because it explains how bees work together to find food. This answer choice is correct because it best explains the reason why Topic Sentence 1 fits with the paragraph. Are there any questions? 14 TCAP TEST PROCTOR S MANUAL GRADES 3 AND 4 Copyright 2014 by Colorado Department of Education.

21 Turn to page 6 and look at Sample G. Sample G Check to make sure students are on the correct page. Read along silently while I read aloud. Read this paragraph about summer.
