Spring 2023 PM3 FAST Training

Spring 2023 PM3 FAST Training. REDLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL.

[Audio] Welcome to the 2023 testing season. This year the district has decided that "ALL" students can test until the end of the school day. This does not need to be announced to the students but just know if a student is not finished testing after the 120 minutes of your testing session is over, they will be relocated to an extended time group to finish. This only applies to Reading, math (Algebra 1 and Geometry) and Civics. The Science is 160 minutes long and only those students with an IEP or 504 get extended time..

[Audio] Please make sure you return the Prohibited Activities Agreement after you have signed it to me before leaving the meeting..

[Audio] As a test administrator it is your responsibility to make students can reach their personal belongings during the test. When the testing rules acknowledgement pops up for the students and you get a student that refuses to click agree, just notify me of who the student is but continue with reading the scripts. Please do not argue with a student about this and waste testing time. Mr. Louis or myself will deal with the students. Please start reminding your students that if they leave in the middle of testing their test will automatically be invalidation and they can NOT finish that assessment. If a student becomes ill or sick during the assessment, that's different. Mr. Louis and I will handle that on a case by case basis. Leaving Campus—If students leave campus before completing a test session (e.g., for lunch, an appointment), they will not be allowed to return to that session..

[Audio] Working Independently—Students are responsible for doing their own work during the test and for protecting their answers from being seen by others. If students are caught cheating during testing, their tests will be invalidated. In addition, FDOE employs Caveon Test Security to analyze student test results to detect unusually similar answer patterns. Students' tests within a school that are found to have extremely similar answer patterns will be invalidated..

[Audio] Sufficient workspace should be provided for students to use their test materials (e.g., scratch paper, reference sheets). Students must not be able to easily view other students' computer, devices, or test materials. Please make sure your room is ready for testing. The state will be making visits during testing sessions and will visit classrooms. No content area specific posters are allowed to be displayed during testing. Motivational posters are acceptable. Post the appropriate signs inside the testing room where they will be visible to all students. For all tests, display starting and stopping times as instructed in the test administration script.

[Audio] Please sure you are completing all required paperwork prior to returning your bin to the testing room..

[Audio] You are required to maintain an accurate seating chart for your testing room. The chart should record the following items listed above. All seating charts must indicate the front and back of the room. If students using extra time are moved to a new location or if the seating configuration changes during testing, a new seating chart must be created. Remember to maintain a seating chart for each test session. Seating charts must be returned to your school assessment coordinator after testing..

[Audio] You are required to maintain an accurate Security Log for your testing room. Anyone who enters a testing room for any length of time must sign the log for that testing room. This applies to test administrators, proctors, and anyone who enters the room, regardless of how much time he or she spends in the testing room. Make sure you are the first to sign, your proctor is second and then Sanchez or Louis when they do walk throughs..

[Audio] Before the test session begins, launch the secure browser on each student computer or device in the testing room as indicated in the script, but do not log in for students. Ensure that you have a way to contact the technology coordinator, in this case will be Mrs. Williams or school assessment coordinator, which is also Mrs. Williams, without leaving the room unattended. Read the administration script verbatim to all students. Note that optional words and phrases appear in italics and parentheses and may be read at your discretion. Please read the important information and adhere to the instructions between the SAY boxes as you read the script to students. During a stretch break, you may repeat portions of the script to students as a reminder (e.g., "You may not have any electronic or recording devices.")..

[Audio] Keep accurate time when administering a test session. Record starting and stopping times in the spaces provided in the script and also display these times for students to see. An online stopwatch is NOT acceptable. Please record the start and stop times on the board only. Students who are still working at the end of the time should be allowed to continue working until they complete testing or up to the end of the school day. If a technical disruption occurs during testing, note the time of the disruption in order to provide students the appropriate amount of remaining time once testing resumes.

[Audio] If students leave the room during a test session for short breaks (e.g., restroom), it is recommended that visual blocks be applied to students' computer screens or devices (e.g., monitors turned off, folders taped to screens) instead of pausing students' tests. If a student's test is paused in the secure browser, that student must log back in and be approved in the TA Interface before he or she can continue testing..

[Audio] Your full attention should be on students at all times during testing, and a testing room must never be left unattended. If issues arise during testing, you may need to use your computer or phone to contact your school assessment coordinator; however, it is not appropriate to use a computer, device, or phone for unrelated activities (such as grading or personal communication) during a test session. While students are working, actively monitor the testing room to ensure the following: students have cleared their desks or workstations of all materials except for the appropriate test materials (pens or pencils, scratch paper, test tickets, reference sheets, test and response books, as applicable) students do not have books, notes, or electronic devices of any kind during testing, even if they do not use them students do not talk to other students or make any disturbance students are working independently Please monitor the students while they are testing..
