TEST ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Test Administrator/Proctor (TA) Test Administrators/Proctors (TAs) are trained staff (including administrators, teachers, and paraprofessionals) who are employed by the school or district. They may also include student teachers who normally have responsibility for supervising students. Parent volunteers should not be allowed to proctor the examination. School personnel who are parents or guardians should not be allowed to proctor their own children.

TO DO CHECKLISTS: Reference Appendix A for complete TA user role checklist.

Prior to administering the Badger Exam, schools and districts should ensure that proctors/TAs have received preparation and training. This training should include: • reading and becoming familiar with all appropriate Badger Exam publications • viewing appropriate Badger Exam training modules • becoming familiar with appropriate universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations • reading the Test Security Manual and viewing the Badger Exam Test Security Training TA/ Proctor Responsibilities: • participate in district/school trainings on policy and administration materials; • viewing student information in TOMS prior to testing to ensure accuracy of student settings including necessary designated supports and/or accommodations; • following procedures included in the Test Administration Manual (TAM) to administer the Badger Exam; • monitoring students during testing; and • adhering to all test security administration policies.

2.0 Test Security CELL PHONES: Unauthorized electronic devices are prohibited during testing. This includes all devices with cellular, messaging, or wireless capabilities.

The security of the assessment and the confidentiality of student information are vital to maintain the validity, reliability, and fairness of the results. All Badger Exam items are secure and must be appropriately handled. Secure handling protects the integrity, validity, and confidentiality of assessment items, prompts, and student information. Any irregularity, impropriety, or breach in test administration must be reported to DPI as a test security incident. If the reliability or validity of a test is compromised, the test scores of individual students or entire classes may be invalidated, and other disciplinary actions may be taken. For more information on test security, please refer to the Test Security Manual at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter/security.

Who is responsible for Test Security? Everyone who works with the assessments, communicates test results, and/or receives testing information is responsible for test security. This includes but is not limited to: • Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Staff • District Administrators • District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) • School Assessment Coordinators (SACs) • District Technology Coordinators (DTCs) • School Technology Coordinators (STCs) • Teachers, Test Administrators, Proctors (TAs) • Students, parents, and the community at large • Certified and non-certified public school staff • Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESAs) staff DACs and SACs are responsible for training staff on the importance of and the policies on test security.

Security Throughout the Testing Process Test security incidents, such as improprieties, irregularities, and breaches, are behaviors prohibited before, during and after test administration, because they give a student an unfair advantage or because they compromise the secure administration of the assessment and items. Whether intentional or by accident, failure to comply with security rules, either by staff or students constitutes a test security incident. For more information about Badger Exam Security see the Test Security Manual and Badger Exam Test Security Training. For examples of improprieties, irregularities and breaches see Appendix B.

-6-

Consequences of Test Security Incidents Consequences of violations may include invalidation of student test results and could result in civil legal liability for copyright violations. At either the school or school district level, a test violation could result in the loss of a year’s test results for the grade(s) and subject(s) affected by the test irregularity. There will be no opportunity to retest. When test results are invalidated, the student(s) do not receive test results for those content areas. The school district should be prepared to explain this to students’ parents. Disciplinary measures for educators and school staff should be determined by local school board policy. Depending on the severity of the test security violations, examples of disciplinary measures might include a written reprimand, suspension, or termination of contract. The DPI may also take disciplinary actions against department-licensed individuals. Test security breaches involving student cheating can result in an unfair advantage for that student and compromise the validity of the standardized test. The tests for such students should be invalidated in that content area. Disciplinary measures for students are handled at the school or school district level. For more information on test security, see the Test Security Manual and Badger Exam Test Security Training.

Setting up the Testing Environment Testing conditions should be comfortable for all students. SACs and TAs should complete the following: • Remove or cover all instructional materials that might assist students in answering questions displayed on bulletin boards, chalkboards, dry-erase boards, or on charts (e.g., wall charts that contain literary definitions, maps, mathematics formulas, etc.). • Ensure adequate spacing between students’ seating and/or visual barriers • Place a “TESTING—DO NOT DISTURB” sign on the door of the testing room • Provide a quiet environment void of distractions • Establish procedures for students that finish testing ahead of others by either having the students exit the room quietly and report to another area, or work silently on designated activities at their workstation.

-7-

Table 2 includes some of the general security requirements to keep in mind for the Badger Exam.

Table 2: Test Security Do and Don’t List Test Security Reminders DO ensure secure printing and storage of students’ test tickets. Test tickets include confidential information necessary for students to log in to the test delivery system. DON’T allow unauthorized electronic devices that allow availability to outside information, electronic communication among students, photographing, or copying test content. This includes any device with cellular, messaging, or wireless capabilities such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), iPods, cameras, and electronic translation devices. DON’T allow unauthorized staff, other adults or students not participating in the assessment in the room where a test is being administered. Only students participating in the assessment can view test questions. DON’T allow TAs and/or other trained staff to review or analyze any test questions or student responses, including students’ notes on scratch paper. DON’T allow digital, electronic, or manual devices to be used to record or retain test items, reading passages, or writing prompts. DO ensure that for students using the print on demand accommodation, TAs closely monitor and secure the location that items/passages are printed. DON’T keep printed test items/passages or scratch paper for future test sessions except for performance tasks (PTs). Reference section 7.1 for additional information. Printed test items/passages for students receiving the print on demand accommodation, including embossed Braille printouts and scratch paper, must be collected and inventoried at the end of each test session and then immediately shredded. DON’T review, discuss, or analyze test items, stimuli, reading passages, or writing prompts at any time, including before, during, or after testing. Student interaction during a test is limited to what is necessary for the purpose of a performance task. Similarly, these materials must not be discussed with or released to anyone via any media, including fax, e-mail, social media websites, etc. DO collect all test tickets at the end of each testing session. If students did not complete the test, test tickets should be stored until the subsequent test session. If students completed the test, the test tickets must be destroyed. DON’T use any test items, stimuli, reading passages, or writing prompts for instruction.

-8-

Process to Report Test Security Incidents Administrators, certified and non-certified school staff, students and parents must adhere to ethical procedures in testing. Violation of these procedures can be investigated and the local school board, DPI, and/or the court system may take appropriate sanctions. School or district staff must immediately report all incidents of test administration improprieties, irregularities, and breaches to the DAC and to the DPI Office of Student Assessment (OSA). The report of an incident may be submitted to the OSA by telephone, fax, letter, email, or by submitting an Incident Report Form (available online at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter/security). As the result of a report, the OSA may ask for the Incident Report Form to be completed and submitted within 24 hours, or the OSA staff member may complete the form during the initial call. Students, their parents or other family members, and persons in the community may also report test security violations. When a testing irregularity is alleged to have occurred, the OSA will contact the DAC (if he or she is not the reporting individual). Depending on the perceived severity of the allegation, the OSA may ask the school district to conduct a thorough fact-finding investigation of the alleged irregularity and report the results of its investigation to the DPI within two weeks. The OSA has put together guidelines to assist school districts documenting investigations of alleged incidents (available online at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/ Smarter/security). After receipt of the fact-finding report, OSA staff will consult with the school district on the details of the alleged testing irregularity. The school district may receive a follow-up letter from OSA requesting additional information or informing the school district that the investigation has been closed. Because the validity and reliability of the examinations rest with the DPI, the OSA will ultimately determine whether the irregularity should be declared a testing violation, whether the Badger Exam results should be invalidated, and at what level. This may impact the determination of school and school district accountability.

3.0 Practice Tests In preparation for the Badger Exam and to expose students to the various item-response types in ELA and mathematics it is highly recommended that all students participate in the Smarter Balanced Practice Test and the Badger Exam Practice Test. Each resource offers students a unique opportunity to experience a test in a manner similar to what they will see on the summative assessments and prepares students for testing. Together the Smarter Balanced Practice Test and the Badger Practice Test expose students to a variety of item types. Table 3 provides a comparison of the Smarter Balanced Practice Test and the Badger Exam Practice Test.

4.4 Test Timeout (due to inactivity) As a security measure, after 30 minutes of inactivity students are automatically logged out of the test and the test will be stopped at the student’s current location. Activity is defined as moving the mouse, clicking on the screen, or using the keyboard. Before the system logs the student out of the assessment, the following warning message will be displayed on the screen You have been inactive for 30 minutes. In 90 seconds you will be logged out of the test. Please click on OK to continue testing. Clicking [Ok] will resume the testing session. The student may then continue testing and will have access to previously answered test questions within the current test segment. If the student does not click [Ok] within 90 seconds after this message appears, he or she will be logged out and the log in screen will reappear. When the student logs back into the system, he/she will be presented with the page containing the item(s) he or she was working on when the session ended (if the page contains at least one unanswered item) OR with the next page (if all items on the previous page were answered).

- 12 -

5.0 Classroom Activity Classroom Activities are only required for the mathematics portion of the Badger Exam. SACs will distribute Classroom Activity materials to TAs approximately 1 to 2 weeks prior to administration. The purpose of the Classroom Activity is to introduce students to the context of a performance task so all students enter the performance task with the same background information and are able to demonstrate the skills the task intends to assess. The Classroom Activity is designed to be an introduction and not an assessment. TAs should review the Classroom Activity and the following Classroom Activity guidelines prior to administration. • It is preferable—but not essential—that the TA administering the Classroom Activity has content knowledge in the area of assessment.

CLASSROOM ACTIVITY:

• The TA should be able to write or display information—including any tables, graphics, formulas, or other information contained in the Classroom Activity materials—for students to see, such as on a chalkboard or dry-erase board. Computers, projectors, and other technology are allowed but not required for the Classroom Activity. When Section 2 PT is administered, content from the Classroom Activity should not be available (i.e., do not put any content from the Classroom Activity on the board, in handouts, etc.).

Classroom activities include directions associated with that specific classroom activity. The Classroom activity is not administered online.

• Students may take notes during the Classroom Activity, but the notes may not be used during Section 2 PT. Notes must be collected before proceeding to the PT and stored in a secure location until securely shredded. • The Classroom Activity must be administered prior to the performance task. There should be no more than a three-day lapse between the Classroom Activity and Section 2 PT. • The Classroom Activity is nonsecure; however, it should not be supplemented with any other content that the administrator may think is helpful. Supplementing the Classroom Activity may detract from the intended purpose of the Classroom Activity and is not advised. • Consider the appropriate accommodations that should be provided to students in the class that would normally be provided during instruction. Appendix D: Accessibility Guidelines for Classroom Activities contains information on these student resources that can be provided during the Classroom Activity. • In the event a student is absent during the Classroom Activity, a make-up session must be scheduled. The Classroom Activity may be recorded; however, the make-up session should provide students with an experience similar to that of his or her peers. To the greatest extent possible, the make-up session should provide students an opportunity to interact with the teacher or TA and his or her peers.

6.0 Accessibility Information and Resources State and federal laws require that state assessments must allow for the inclusion of all students, including students with disabilities and English language learners, to the extent practicable. The Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines (UAAG) are intended for school-level personnel and decision-making teams as they prepare for and implement the Badger Exam. The UAAG provide information for classroom teachers, English development educators, special education teachers, and related services personnel to use in selecting and administering universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations for those students who need them. - 13 -

6.1 Universal Tools Universal tools are access features that are available to all students based on student preference and selection. Access features of the assessment are either provided as digitally delivered components of the test administration system or separate from it.

6.2 Designated Supports Designated supports are those features that are available for use by any student for whom the need has been indicated by an educator or team of educators (with parent/guardian and student input as appropriate). They are either provided as digitally delivered components of the test administration system or separate from it. Embedded designated supports must be enabled in TOMS prior to test administration. For information on updating student settings, refer to the TOMS User/Student Management Manual.

6.3 Accommodations

DESIGNATED SUPPORTS AND ACCOMMODATIONS: All embedded designated supports and accommodation must be enabled in TOMS by a DAC or SAC. TAs can view accessibility information in TOMS but cannot modify the information.

Accommodations are changes in procedures or materials that increase equitable access. The UAAG identify accommodations for students for whom there is documentation of the need for the accommodations on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 accommodation plan. Consortium-approved accommodations do not compromise the learning expectations, construct, grade-level standard, or intended outcome of the assessment. Embedded accommodations must be activated in TOMS prior to test administration. For information on updating student settings, refer to the TOMS User/Student Management Manual.

6.4 Related Accessibility Resources Dependent on individual student needs, TAs may need to obtain additional resources for some students’ accessibility needs. For example, based on individual student settings in TOMS, students may need access to a calculator, a multiplication table, or color overlays. Similarly, if a student requires a portion of the test to be read aloud and/or scribed or individual items printed, TAs are responsible for adhering to the standardized procedures. For the complete list of non-embedded accessibility resources see the Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines (UAAG). Table 6 provides links to the standardized accessibility resources.

Scribing Protocol

This document outlines the qualifications, guidelines, and procedures required when using a scribe.

7.0 Additional Resources for All Students All students will need access to a district owned computer with the secure browser installed. The secure browser is designed to support test security by prohibiting access to external applications and prevents users from navigating away from the assessment. If a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 plan indicates a need for an assistive technology device, the student will need to access the Badger Exam using that Assistive Technology Secure Browser. For information about accessing and installing the Badger Exam Secure Browser and the Badger Exam Assistive Technology Secure Browser reference the Technology Coordinator Manual. In addition to a computer, all students will need some additional resources. TAs are responsible for ensuring all students have access to the appropriate resources listed in Table 7: Additional Technical Resources.

7.1 Retention of printed materials or scratch paper All scratch paper, graph paper, or printed test items/passages (for students receiving the print on demand accommodation) must be collected and inventoried at the end of each test session and then immediately shredded. The only exception to shredding printed materials and scratch paper is when notes are used during the Mathematics PT. For mathematics tasks, if a student needs to take the performance task in more than one session, scratch paper may be collected at the end of each session, securely stored, and made available to the student at the next performance task testing session. Once the student completes the performance task, the scratch paper must be collected and securely destroyed to maintain test security.

8.0 Test Operating Management System (TOMS) TOMS is a secure website used to manage the Badger Exam. TOMS is used to store all students’ demographic information. This information will be reviewed and updated by DACs and SACs before testing. TOMS is also used to initiate testing for students and access score reports. Access to various features in TOMS is dependent upon the user’s role. TAs will use TOMS to confirm the accuracy of students test settings, generate testing sessions, print test tickets to assist students in the login process, and monitor students’ testing progress.

8.1 TOMS Login Information

LOGIN: TOMS login credentials will always be sent from badger-toms-noreply @ets.org. This e-mail address should be whitelisted to ensure that users receive login information.

All TAs will receive an automated e-mail from badger-toms-noreply@ ets.org with a username and temporary password to access TOMS. Temporary passwords will expire within 30 days. At a user’s first logon, TAs will be prompted to sign a test confidentiality agreement and change their password.

8.2 Student Test Settings and Accessibility in TOMS

DESIGNATED SUPPORTS AND ACCOMMODATIONS: TAs must confirm the accuracy of students’ test settings before test administration.

Using the Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines (UAAG), DACs and SACs are responsible for customizing students’ test settings in TOMS. Prior to testing TAs must confirm the accuracy of students’ test settings. If a TA identifies any errors in a student’s test settings, TAs must contact the School Assessment Coordinator (SAC) for remedy. Failure to provide the correct student settings may result in a test irregularity. To view test settings, TAs must log into TOMS. Under the Students tab, select “view & edit” and then the “accessibility resources” tab. For additional information about viewing students test settings reference the TOMS: User/ Student Management Manual at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter.

8.3 Test Sessions and Test Tickets It is recommended that TAs print test tickets one to three days prior to testing. Test tickets are created in TOMS and provide each student with their login information (username, password, and session ID). To create test tickets, • TAs must log in to TOMS and select the “Online Testing” tab. • Using the grade level filters, select all students included in the test session. • Select the appropriate test (Section 1 ELA, Section 1 Mathematics, or Section 2 Mathematics PT). • Select the button to print tickets. Each student will need three test tickets, one ticket corresponding to each test (Section 1 ELA, Section 1 Mathematics, or Section 2 Mathematics PT). For additional information on generating test sessions and printing test tickets, reference the TOMS Test Delivery Manual at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter/resources.

TEST TICKETS: Test tickets include confidential information. Test tickets must be printed in a secure location and must be securely stored until the test administration. Similarly at the end of testing, test tickets must be shredded.

Students will use the same test ticket every time they log into each test. For test security purposes, however, test tickets will become inactive 120 minutes after students log out of the test. As a result, if a student accidently logs out during a test session, he/she would be able to immediately log back into the system. Similarly, if a student participates in one test session, logs out of the test and then returns to the test within 120 minutes, he/she would be able to log into the test. If however, the student attempts to log into the test more than 120 minutes after logging out, the test ticket will be inactive and the student will receive a login error. To reactivate the test tickets, the TA must log into TOMS, select the student or group of students needing to continue testing, and select “continue testing”. After completing this task, the student can log back into the test interface using the information on the test ticket. For additional information on test tickets, reference the TOMS Test Delivery Manual at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter/resources.

DURING TESTING 9.0 Test Administration This section provides guidelines and specific directions for the test. Be sure to review the test directions in advance. In order to ensure that all students are tested under the same conditions, adhere strictly to the script. When asked, you should answer questions raised by students, but you should never help the class or individual students with specific test items. No test items can be read to any student for any content or subject area, unless specified as an accommodation. Please remember that the script must be followed exactly and used each time a test is administered using a natural tone and manner. If you make a mistake in reading a direction, and say, “I made aduring mistake. again.” ThenBefore read the again.

If the problem cannot be resolved, please contact the Badger Exam Help Desk at 1-844-711-6493 or [email protected]. The test tickets are activated once a student logs in with his/her username, password, and session ID. Once the student completes the test session (by clicking “end assessment”), the test tickets will remain active for an additional 120 minutes. So if a student accidently logs out of the test, he/she can log back into the system. Similarly, if students complete a test session and then begin another test session on the same test with 120 minutes, students may log back into the test. No action is needed by TA. If the time lapse between sessions exceeds 120 minutes, TAs must reactivate the test ticket by logging into TOMS and selecting the student or group of students and selecting “continue testing”. The student can then log into the test with the same ticket information.

If you are unsure of an answer, provide what you think is the best answer; there is no penalty for guessing. If you would like to review that answer at a later time, mark the item for review by clicking on the flag in the upper right corner of the screen before going on to the next question. Flagging the item will remind you to go back and decide whether you need to change the answer during this test session. You may PAUSE at any point in the test by clicking PAUSE rather than NEXT after answering an item. Please raise your hand if you need a break and ask me prior to clicking PAUSE. This is not a timed test so work at your own pace. If after 30 minutes, you do not answer a question or click on a test tool, a screen will pop up warning you that you will be logged out of the test. If you are still testing, please click “okay” and the test will continue. Your answers need to be your own work. Please keep your eyes on your own test, and remember that there should be no talking. Please keep in mind that this test is divided into segments. When you get to the end of each segment, you will be prompted to review your answers before moving on. Once you submit your answers and move on to the next segment, you will not be able to return to the previous segment. When you are ready to begin your test, click NEXT at the bottom of the page.

9.2 Responsibilities During Testing Approve Printing Print on demand is a testing accommodation available to students based on a documented need in a student’s Individual Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan. For information on approving student’s requests to print reference the Print on Demand Procedures document available at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter/ accommodations. Monitor Test Security During testing, circulate through the room to ensure that all conditions of test security are maintained. As a reminder, unauthorized electronic devices, including cell phones, are not allowed in the secure testing location. Test security incidents may give a student an unfair advantage or compromise the secure administration of the assessments. Whether intentional or by accident, failure to comply with security rules, either by staff or students, constitutes a test security incident. If you have witnessed, been informed of, or suspect the possibility of a test security incident that could potentially affect the integrity of the assessments you must report the incident to the SAC or DAC. See Appendix B for a list of test security violation examples.

9.3 Troubleshooting issues

-20-

Requests to reset, reopen, invalidate, or restore a test -20While rare, some situations and/or test security incidences may result in the need to reset, reopen, invalidate, or restore individual student assessments. For example, an appeal may be submitted to invalidate the Section 1 ELA based on a security issue during the Section 1 ELA, or an appeal may be submitted to reopen Section 2 Mathematics PT for a student who becomes ill and is unable to resume testing until after Section 2 Mathematics PT has expired. If you suspect a need for an appeal, contact the SAC.

TEST INVALIDATION: If one section of the mathematics assessment is invalidated, the entire content area will be invalidated.

Technical Difficulties In the event of technical difficulties, first contact your Technology Coordinator, then the Badger Help Desk at 1-844-711-6493 or [email protected]. In the rare event that the secure browser or test becomes unresponsive and you cannot pause the test or close the secure browser, users have the ability to “force quit” the secure browser. In this situation, the secure browser will close and the student will be automatically logged out of the test. The student’s responses to all questions will be saved. When the student logs back into the test, he/she will be presented with the question or page that he/she was working on when “force quit” was used.

- 24 -

To force the browser to close, use the following keyboard commands. (Reminder: This will log the student out of the test he or she is taking. When the secure browser is opened again, the student will have to log back in to resume testing.) You are strongly advised against using the force-quit commands, as the secure browser treats this action as an abnormal termination. These commands should be used only if the [Close Secure Browser] button does not work. Force-quit Commands [Shift] + [Esc] + [E] Note iPad Users: If you are using an iPad, please see the Technical Specifications Manual for how to use guided access to force-quit.

- 25 -

AFTER TESTING 10.0 Confirm all secure testing materials have been destroyed Federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) prohibits the release of any student’s personally identifiable information. Any printouts, including printed items, test tickets, scratch paper, or graph paper must be collected and then securely shredded.

APPENDIX D: ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR THE CLASSROOM ACTIVITY Students with disabilities are allowed to have accommodations, and English learners should have access to language supports that they regularly use during classroom instruction. The information noted in the table below provides teachers with options that may be implemented during the activity as needed for students to have appropriate access to the information included in the Classroom Activity. Overall Strategies for the Classroom Activity are as follows: • Teachers may employ the same strategies for the Classroom Activity that they use during instruction to attend to the diversity of their individual student needs. • Teachers can employ formative practices and professional judgment to determine whether or not individual students require additional support or scaffolding to meet the objectives of the Classroom Activity. • Teachers can read and reread aloud any text included in the Classroom Activity. • Teachers may employ assistive technologies that are typically available during instruction. • The additional supports and strategies described in the table below may be made available to any student based on the student’s individual needs and are not limited to particular impairments or to students who have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans. • Teachers may adjust any Classroom Activity to allow for different instructional settings (e.g., individual student make-up activity, remote learning environment). • Teachers may employ more than one suggested strategy listed in the table below to meet student needs. • These strategies are not mutually exclusive.

Classroom Activity Guidance for Needs-Specific Accessibility Options Student Need

Visual Impairments

Guidance for Accessibility (Student IEP and 504 Plans supersede these guidelines) • Reading Materials: All materials that are required to be read by a student may be read aloud to the student. • Pictures, Figures, Drawings, and Photographs: Descriptions may be read to students. In addition, teachers can provide students with further explanation of the descriptions. These explanations may clarify the description without adding additional content. • Graphs: Further descriptions or repetition of descriptions may be necessary for a student. These explanations may clarify the description without adding additional content. • Venn Diagrams: Venn diagrams may be described to the student. In addition, a teacher may use a different chart, diagram format, or graphic organizer.

GLOSSARY Term

Definition

Accommodation

Changes in procedures or materials that increase equitable access during the Badger Exam. Assessment accommodations generate valid assessment results for students who need them; they allow these students to show what they know and can do. Accommodations are available for students with documented Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Plans. Consortium-approved accommodations do not compromise the construct, grade-level standards, or intended outcome of the assessments. See the Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/oea/pdf/SmarterBalanced_ Guidelines.pdf for complete information.

Appeal

This is a request made by a district to reset, reopen, invalidate, or restore a student’s assessment. These requests must result from a test security incident or incorrect test setting that impacted testing.

Badger Exam, 3-8: A Smarter Balanced Assessment (Badger Exam)

The Badger Exam, 3-8: A Smarter Balanced Assessment or Badger Exam, is Wisconsin’s customized version of the Smarter Balanced Assessment. A multistate, state-led consortium designed the Smarter Balanced Assessment. The Badger Exam is a summative assessment in English language arts/literacy and mathematics for students in grades 3 through 8.

Break

There is no limit on the number of breaks or the length of a break that a student may be given according to his or her unique needs.

Classroom Activity (CA)

A short, teacher-led activity designed to introduce students to the context and contextual vocabulary in the PT to ensure that students are not disadvantaged in demonstrating the skills the task intends to assess. A Test Administrator (TA) or other authorized staff can lead the CA. An applicable CA is required before the PT portion of the test. The PT should be administered within three days after the CA. The CA should not be supplemented with any other content that the administrator may think is helpful because doing so may detract from the intended purpose of the CA.

Designated Supports

Accessibility features of the assessments available for use by any student for whom the need has been indicated by an educator (or team of educators working with the parent/guardian and student). See the Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines for complete information: http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/oea/pdf/SmarterBalanced_ Guidelines.pdf

District Assessment Coordinator (DAC)

Designated district staff member who is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Badger Exam. The DAC can upload, add, modify, and remove student records and is responsible for ensuring all school-level test administrators have received adequate training on test administration, test security, and testing polices/practices.

Term

Definition

Invalidate

A specific appeal in the TOMS. Invalidating a test in the Appeals system results in the omission of test results and student responses from the testing and accountability systems. Invalidation is often the outcome for assessments impacted by a test security incident. Invalidated tests cannot be restored.

Item

A test question or stimulus presented to a student to elicit a response.

Pause

Action taken by a student or TA to temporarily halt the test during any part of the test, as needed.

Performance Task (PT)

A PT is an item type designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge and higher-order thinking skills to explore and analyze a complex, real-world scenario. It is a required portion of the test. Prior to the PT, teachers or instructional staff conduct a CA for all students in the class to ensure that a lack of understanding of the context of the task does not interfere with a student’s ability to address the content of the task.

Print on Demand

This is an accommodation intended for those extremely rare instances (e.g., photosensitive epilepsy) where a student’s condition prevents him or her from accessing material online. Access to printed items/stimuli should not be assigned based solely on a student’s personal preference. The decision to allow this accommodation must be based on each individual student’s need and documented in a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan. If a student requires Print on Demand, the DAC must submit an accommodation approval form located at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/ forms. After receiving the form, DPI will review the request and, if appropriate, activate the accommodation in TOMS.

Reopen

A specific appeal in TOMS. It applies to a test that has already been submitted or has expired and allows the student to access the previously closed test. For example, a test may be reopened if a student started a test and became ill and was unable to resume testing until after the testing opportunity expired.

Reset

A specific appeal in TOMS. Resetting a student’s test removes that test from the system and enables the student to start a new test. Any work previously done on the test would be lost. The new test will require a new test ticket. Valid reasons for a reset would be if a student’s test event was administered inconsistently with the student’s IEP (this would include both embedded and non-embedded accommodations) or if the student started a test and didn’t have a needed language support (such as a language glossary).

Restore

A specific appeal in TOMS. Restore a test from the “Reset” status to its prior status. This action can only be performed on assessments that have been reset and if the student has not logged into the reset test. A test opportunity can be restored if it was reset in error. For example, if a test reset was requested for a mathematics test instead of an ELA test, then that mathematics test can be restored to its previous status.

School Assessment Coordinator (SAC)

Designated school staff member responsible for monitoring the test schedule, process, and test administrators (TA). SACs are also responsible for ensuring that TAs have been appropriately trained and that testing is conducted in accordance with the test security and other policies and procedures. - 38 -

Definition

Section 1

The portion of the Badger Exam includes a variety of selected response, constructed response, and technology enhanced items.

Section 2

This portion of the Badger Exam includes the mathematics performance task.

Secure Browser

A web browser that is downloaded and installed on a computer prior to a student beginning the test. The browser is specifically designed for use with the Badger Exam to provide secure access to each content area and prevent students from accessing specific hardware and software functions (e.g., other browsers, screenshot programs) that are not allowed during the assessments.

Segment

A part of a test within the test delivery system. Depending on the test, segments typically separate items from others if the eligible tools are different (i.e., the mathematics test may have two segments—one segment that allows calculator use and another segment that does not). When a student completes a segment of the test, he or she will receive a message that indicates that once that segment is submitted it is no longer possible to return to that segment.

Session

A timeframe in which students actively test in a single sitting. The length of a test session is determined by building or district administrators who are knowledgeable about the periods in the building and the timing needs associated with the assessment. The Badger Exam is not timed; however, Smarter Balanced recommends that session durations range between 40 and 120 minutes. An individual student may need more or less time overall. Note: A test session does not need to end when a segment ends.

Stimulus/Stimuli

Material or materials used in the test context which form the basis for assessing the knowledge and skills of students. Many items/tasks for the assessments include a stimulus along with a set of questions to which the student responds. Stimulus materials are used in ELA and mathematics assessments to provide context for assessing the knowledge and skills of students and are diverse. They can be traditional reading passages/texts but viewed on a computer screen; images with audio presentations for students to listen to; simulated web pages for students to use for research; or scenarios to react to.

Test Administrator (TA)

District or school personnel responsible for administering the Badger Exam in a secure manner in compliance with the policies and procedures outlined in the Test Administration Manual at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/Smarter.

Testing Breach

A security event that poses a threat to the validity of the test. Examples may include such situations as a release of secure materials or a security/system risk. These circumstances have external implications for the Consortium and may result in a Consortium decision to remove the test item(s) from the available secure bank. A breach incident must be reported immediately to the state level. For specific details on how to proceed when an incident has occurred, please refer to section 9.2 Monitor Test Security of this manual.

Testing Impropriety

An unusual circumstance that has a low impact on the individual or group of students who are testing and has a low risk of potentially affecting student performance on the test, test security, or test validity. These circumstances can be corrected and contained at the local level. For specific details on how to proceed when an incident has occurred, please refer to section 9.2 Monitor Test Security of this manual. - 39 -

Testing Irregularity

An unusual circumstance that impacts an individual or group of students who are testing and may potentially affect student performance on the test, test security, or test validity. These circumstances can be corrected and contained at the local level, but are submitted in the online system for resolution of the Appeal for testing impact. For specific details on how to proceed when an incident has occurred, please refer to section 9.2 Monitor Test Security of this manual.

Test Operations Management System (TOMS)

The registration system used for the Badger Exam. This is the system through which users interact with and inform the test delivery system. This registration system provides administrators with the tools to add and manage users and students participating in the Badger Exam assessments. This system uses a rolespecific design to restrict access to certain tools and applications based on the user’s designated role.

Universal Tools

Available to all students based on student preference and selection. See the Smarter Balanced Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines at http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/oea/pdf/ SmarterBalanced_Guidelines.pdf for complete information.

Wisconsin Student Number (WSN)

Districts use Wisconsin Student Numbers (WSNs) instead of names to submit data about student educational progress. WSNs are used to create student records in TOMS.
