EOY Testing Training Questions by Amy Kerr https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm Please post any questions that you have about end of year testing and I will answer them all here en-us 2018-05-14 15:46:56 UTC 2026-01-13 21:50:57 UTC hello@padlet.com If I have a roving proctor for a science or social studies NCFE, does the proctor have to sign each of the testing verification forms (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261589830
Yes, the roving proctor signs the test day certification for each classroom they support.]]> 2018-05-17 13:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261589830 Can we say as a school that students are NOT allowed to use the restroom but call if there is an extenuating circumstance/emergency (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261590560 Yes, they can call for bathroom emergencies but as a school our policy is no bathrooms. ]]> 2018-05-17 13:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261590560 There is something about the students clicking off of the screen that causes them to get kicked out. That happened a lot last year. Could we announce over the next week or during the tutorial that they can't click off the screen so that they are crystal clear about that prior to the test (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261590786 Teachers should definitely use the tutorial time to talk to students about this.]]> 2018-05-17 13:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261590786 ChromeBooks when finished https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261592490 If students finish are we allowed to close their ChromeBook  but keep it on the desk closed instead of plugging it into the cart? I’m worried the movement around accommodating early finishers might signal to others to rush to finish up.

It is best to collect the ChromeBooks to prevent off task technology use. ]]> 2018-05-17 14:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261592490 When can we tell students their scores (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594042 We can print unofficial score report letters through the portal and give them to students as we decide as a school it's appropriate. We typically tell them after the last test.]]> 2018-05-17 14:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594042 What will happen with students who are suspended (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594187 We are required to test all students including those who are suspended. They count in our 95% participation rate. If they return during the testing window, they can take make ups. However, if they are suspended for the duration of the testing window we need to create a plan for them to come to school for testing.]]> 2018-05-17 14:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594187 What are appropriate post-testing activities for the class time during the remainder of the school day? Is free time acceptable (submitted by BThompson)? paigem_kelsey https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594624 It is best to engage students in learning that will support upcoming assessments. For example, after science is completed, teams should work together to support the upcoming reading test, etc. There should never be free time.]]> 2018-05-17 14:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261594624 Testing Labels https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261619995 Is Ms. Colona printing us testing labels again for the computers?

Yes, Ms. Colona has agreed to print labels. They will be in testing bins.]]> 2018-05-17 15:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261619995 Extra Chrome Books https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261635224 Will small group administrators have additional chrome books for those students who are continually kicked out of their testing chrome book? 

I will check with Ms. Colona but we should definitely be able to do that.  If you do not have additional ChromeBooks for any reason, you would need to call for support in order to get a student logged back in because we would need to bring you another ChromeBook.]]> 2018-05-17 15:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261635224 What website do we use to access NC Education? amandan_jones https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261671560
Is it the same as just logging into NC Test?

Each test administrator is responsible for signing in their own group of students including small group test administrators. ]]> 2018-05-17 17:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261674079 When testing, we still need to put the start time, break time and end time on the board, correct? amandan_jones https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261678370 Yes, please follow the assessment guide for putting this information on the board. ]]> 2018-05-17 17:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261678370 What do we do if we have a student that repeatedly laughs out during testing? adrienne1_friedrichs https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261682842 If you anticipate this happening, please see me or your GLA so that we can be proactive about preventing it. ]]> 2018-05-17 17:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261682842 If a student's test times them out, is that considered "test freeze"? https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261714207 If it times them out after they have started the test, if would be considered a "kick out". If it times them out before they start, this does not need to be documented on the tracker.]]> 2018-05-17 18:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261714207 Can we use digital clocks on testing day? (projecting them on the smartboard) jessicac_jones https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261716949 Yes. You can display a clock on your SmartBoard that shows the time of day.]]> 2018-05-17 18:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261716949 We need mice! (At least for ELA...) We can use them for the final Mastery Quizzes. We need these because the highlight function is difficult to use with the trackpad. https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261726007 We are working out a plan for mice distribution. If we offer them to any group of students, we are required to offer them to all students. Everyone will need the option to use mice.]]> 2018-05-17 19:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261726007 If my class finishes early, I've collected all testing materials, and we are waiting for the "all call" am I allowed to give students a non-subject related crossword or word search puzzle? jessicac_jones https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261909755 The only options approved by the state are: reading or sitting silently (can put head down).]]> 2018-05-18 13:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261909755 Tutorial amym_kerr https://padlet.com/amym_kerr/1475he2kbpqm/wish/261973202 Is there a script for the testing tutorial?

Yes, it will be linked in Monday's daily update.
