LPAC Decision Making for State Assessment Training by Sara Fox https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps Made with charm en-us 2018-01-09 18:04:18 UTC 2018-02-01 17:28:39 UTC hello@padlet.com SIFE https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224649772 Is there a specific number of days months, or years that is a general benchmark for what is considered interrupted?

TEA will not give a time frame.  They state if the time withdrawn interfered with the learning.......]]> 2018-01-25 14:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224649772 We have a student exempt from TELPAS speaking. How will that look? Are listening and speaking two separate tests? https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224664626 You will receive an email today with the required form to request a special administration of TELPAS.  Listening and Speaking are in one online assessment, so if a student has an ARD decision to not be assessed in one of those domains, then you will need to fill out this form to request that the student be holistically rated in listening.  ]]> 2018-01-25 14:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224664626 RISD TELPAS Cover sheet https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224665258 Where can we find the cover sheet for 2018?

The cover sheet is posted on this google folder because there is some technical issue with posting to Edline.

TEA does not specifically mention the RTI committee - it specifically states that the LPAC, 504, ARD committee may make the determinations of designated supports. https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224667432 If the RTI team can make decisions about designated supports, then it is noted on the specific Accommodation Description forms on TEA's website (the red text is a link there)

You will be using your Rater Card in TELPAS for all your record keeping and you will use it to  print out your sign in sheets from here.

Yes.  ]]> 2018-01-25 15:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224698162 If oral admin is due to another factor (i.e. dyslexia) does that impact a student from being exited from ESL? https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224703225  No- only linguistic accomm recommended by ESL affect exiting]]> 2018-01-25 15:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224703225 Random Question/Unrelated!

You do not need a revision ARD to add accommodations, such as spelling assistance, as long as the parent agrees. You would need to complete an amendment for this purpose. If there are other items that need to be discussed that would change the IEP, such as a change to testing decisions, then you would need to hold a revision.]]> 2018-01-25 15:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224710386 Calibration Center issues japearce https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224725227 Hi! We have not been able to access the online calibration center with our emails and passwords from last year. This is problematic because the calibration window opens tomorrow. Help!

The email that was sent to principals on Jan 12 has detailed information about logging on to the TELPAS Training Center.  Included in that information: Usernames/passwords are not saved from year to year.  There is an security agreement that raters have to agree to each year.  Please see that email, because there is a nearpod training that raters must complete and an oath they must sign and turn in to the CTC before they access the Online Basic Training on Monday.  If you need me to resend, you can email me.

Yes, students can use scratch paper for online TELPAS assessments (page 16 of the TELPAS Test Administrator Manual)

SpEd and 504 do have deadlines for entering accommodation but the dates may differ from the LPAC decision deadlines.

LPAC decisions for assessments and supports must be made if the LPAC is recommending for linguistic need. ]]> 2018-01-25 18:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224823051 Reports from REGISTAAR gjbortnem https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224824305 Will we be able to print out a list of students with their accommodations to use as a cross check for our testing rosters like we used to with the SET tools?

RegiSTAAR will allow users to download a list of testers and their accommodations and will include SpEd, 504, & LPAC accommodations.

If that was considered a formal schooling in his home country then we consider it schooling. There is the other part of the definition that they may qualify for.

]]> 2018-01-25 20:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224872288 According to the TELPAS test administrator manual, it is recommended to have space between computers when students are testing for listening and speaking due to background noise and the computer being able to hear clearly what is being recorded. What is our district policy going to be on that? https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224885945 Hopefully you experienced during the tutorials that our headphones cancel out noise pretty well. We have tested them and believe that you can seat students like you usually do for an online test and you will be find. Although the large spacing is recommended in the manual, it is not required by TEA. And, we find with our high quality headphones that it is unnecessary.]]> 2018-01-25 21:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224885945 Calibration for TELPAS will the teachers only be calibrating on writing? if yes, will the test be shorter? or they have more writing to rate? https://padlet.com/sara_fox2/67lfejecy7ps/wish/224887003 For 2-12, the teachers will calibrate in only the writing domain.  They will rate 10 writing samples and must get 70% correct to pass.
