Leaving Early

2024-09-30 22:02:06 UTC

I have a leadership meeting at 3:30, will the recording be available?

Is our audio and camera off? I can't see options on zoom for those.

2024-09-30 22:02:47 UTC

Alternate ELPAC

2024-09-30 22:03:20 UTC

Which students are eligible for the alternate ELPAC? Our district has SDC, ED, RSP, Mild/Mod and Mod/Severe student populations.

Is there a sign-in?

amr3933 — 2024-09-30 22:03:34 UTC

I think so, chat is off limits as well.

2024-09-30 22:11:13 UTC

Would the calculator be a designated support?

2024-09-30 22:13:37 UTC

ACCOMMODATIONS

2024-09-30 22:15:55 UTC

I went to the training about CAASPP and they said the accommodations will be automatically upload this year so we do not have to enter them ourselves? Is this correct?

Where is the unlisted resources matrix? How can I access?

2024-09-30 22:16:24 UTC

Can you please talk about domain exemptions and give some examples for ELPAC?

2024-09-30 22:16:28 UTC

Unlisted Resources

2024-09-30 22:16:38 UTC

Is Domain Exemption an unlisted resource that has to be sent to CDE via TOMS?

SEIS-TOMS Integration

2024-09-30 22:17:35 UTC

Are you going to talk about the status of the issues that have been encountered so far and where SEIS and TOMS are in getting those corrected?

Accessibility Graphis

2024-09-30 22:18:38 UTC

Have these been updated for all assessments for 2024-25? If so, where can it be found?

If our LEA uses the CAASPP Interim Assessment Block, should students' accommodations for the interim be in SEIS under CAASPP (even though they are technically out of range - grades 9-10) or under local/other district assessments in SEIS?

2024-09-30 22:18:59 UTC

When will the graphics be available?

2024-09-30 22:19:07 UTC

If accessibility resources are uploaded for IABs, do they need to be uploaded again for the Summative?

2024-09-30 22:20:15 UTC

What's an example of a resource someone would request as an unlisted resource?

2024-09-30 22:20:53 UTC

Unlisted Resources

aeggleston — 2024-09-30 22:21:25 UTC

How can we tell if we have unlisted resources submitted by case managers? Is there a report we can run?

languages

2024-09-30 22:21:46 UTC

I want to make sure that I am reading this correctly, students who have their first language other than English (i.e. Spanish, Arabic, Farsi), there is a way to have embedded supports to help translate?

Multiplication Chart

2024-09-30 22:21:48 UTC

Previously a multiplication chart was not available to 3rd graders as it changed the construct of what was being measured. Now I'm seeing that the grade level was removed. Are 3rd graders able to use a multiplication chart now?

Will the recording be uploaded to this Padlet?

2024-09-30 22:22:18 UTC

Domain Exemption

2024-09-30 22:22:47 UTC

How do submit a Domain Exemption? When you download the accommodation page excel sheet or CVS file it does not show domain exemption?

Resource Document

2024-09-30 22:23:53 UTC

Do you have a resource like a chart that includes each accommodation, support, and tool and it contains and explanation about each one maybe a video (current) that explains it that can be provided to teachers?

If accessibility resources are uploaded for IABs, do they need to be uploaded again for the Summative?

2024-09-30 22:29:56 UTC

New Site Coordinator Here!

2024-09-30 22:33:30 UTC

I'm new to test coordinating at my site, is there a site coordinator checklist anywhere in the resources where I have a timeline of important dates and tasks that need to be completed and when?

Thank you!

Toms

2024-09-30 22:34:31 UTC

Does seis automatically update iep accommodations?

One more time? When does an accommodation or resource not stick from the IABs through the Summatives?

2024-09-30 22:35:52 UTC

Accommodations

2024-09-30 22:37:04 UTC

Is there a way that the accommodations uploaded by SEIS are not cancelled when the student is assigned additional embedded and non embedded supports?

Practice vs Training Test

2024-09-30 22:37:17 UTC

What is the difference between practice test vs Training test?

Interim Vs Practice

2024-09-30 22:38:25 UTC

Are interims assessment the real assessment ?

Sorry, can you repeat the part about logging in as Guest for Practice/Training tests affecting a student's accessibility resources?

2024-09-30 22:39:08 UTC

Are teachers able to make changes to the testing interface on their own when they administer an IAB?

2024-09-30 22:39:49 UTC

CAASPP on IEP

2024-09-30 22:40:45 UTC

Our SIRAS has a CAASPP page with the options of Smarter Balance with supports listed. If they have simple items (i.e. breaks, read aloud, scratch paper) can we ask our case managers to mark it as "test without supports/ accommodations?"

What does TOMs stand for ?

2024-09-30 22:41:38 UTC

???

Can Speech to Text be turned on in a Practice or Interim assessment? I don't see it available.

2024-09-30 22:42:04 UTC

Additional Practice Tests

juanatapiagobuyan — 2024-09-30 22:42:10 UTC

Do you plan to release new versions of the ELPAC practice and training tests? We've been directing our EL student liaisons and teachers to the practice test site but they've requested more practice questions that can be accessed through the ELPAC website.

Testing Interface Test Settings

2024-09-30 22:42:12 UTC

So, if they are given an inter-assessment, the accommodations and modifications should show?

ELPAC Interim Practice Test

2024-09-30 22:44:38 UTC

Are the question items new? Or are they the same as what was in place last year? Same questions from the printable practice tests?

Default - no test settings

2024-09-30 22:45:58 UTC

what will it say when there are test settings for the student?

Change

2024-09-30 22:46:02 UTC

Years ago we could not change accommodations after the student has started ANY tests, but now we can, cannot we? It can be change between subject (Math with no designated supports, ELA with designated supports), and also between domain (PT and CAT). Please confirm/correct. Thank you!

I am the LEA Coordnator how can I downloading the Slides and Resource Guide from this padlet?

vgarza28 — 2024-09-30 22:46:39 UTC

ELPAC Interim Assessments

2024-09-30 22:47:03 UTC

Question 1: Are they available year round? Question 2: Is the writing section of the test scored by the system?

So, if I am a teacher giving an Interim Assessment, and I notice when students are logging in that there are no designated supports set, I can add a resource on the spot. Is that correct? This resource will only be available for the test I am giving at that moment and not stay on for the Summaative, is that correct?

2024-09-30 22:47:51 UTC

Delete Previous District Interim Tes

murias — 2024-09-30 22:47:56 UTC

How can I delete an Interim exam that was not scored by the previous district?

Understanding Accessibility Resources

2024-09-30 22:48:00 UTC

Is there a training available that provides a detailed review of the types of designated supports and accommodations, as well as guidance on navigating the matrix?

Tools

2024-09-30 22:49:06 UTC

I heard about tools available for our dual language student that they can use without a 504 or IEP. What tools are those.

I heard there were some bugs with the connection between SEIS and TOMS. Would you recommend LEAs to hold off on synching them now or is there no harm by doing it now because it will self correct as bugs get fixed?

2024-09-30 22:50:01 UTC

Stacked?

2024-09-30 22:50:55 UTC

What do you mean when you say "stacked"?

What is the date of entry cut off date for a Newcomer student to be able to take the CAASPP Math test in Spanish?

2024-09-30 22:51:26 UTC

Accessibility Matrix

2024-09-30 22:52:11 UTC

Can we request the tables on the accessibility matrix have the support descriptors at the top of every page? It would be great to not have to scroll back 15 pages to see which tests it is saying "yes/no"

Replay and Pause

2024-09-30 22:52:45 UTC

Can students without an IEP be able to use the replay and pause for listening and speaking?

Unlisted Resources for alternate assessment

2024-09-30 22:54:12 UTC

The decision making tool requires unlisted resources for a 4 on many if not all of the rubrics. It would be helpful to know what types of things are being asked for because there are many students who need to take alternate assessments, but the test formate is what is required, not necessarily other accommodations. The accepted unlisted resources are not helpful for these students as they would not be able to use dictionaries and the like. Could we get some examples please?

Read Aloud

2024-09-30 23:02:08 UTC

I teach SPED and have 3-4 students in 4th and 5th grade who require read aloud. Is it possible for those students in one grade to have the same test so I only have to read it once to the group instead of separately to 6-8 students?

Scribe

2024-09-30 23:03:15 UTC

Is scribe only for physical disabilities, or could I use it with a student who otherwise would use speech-to-text (except that the computer doesn't recognize his speech as well as staff does).

Once accomodation are made on toms, how long do they take to start functioning ?

2024-09-30 23:03:49 UTC

Equipment for Visually Impaired Students

2024-09-30 23:07:33 UTC

Could you review how we access the equipment or order it?

Brand new to Cali, what the difference between Caaspp and Elpac?

2024-09-30 23:09:09 UTC

The accessibility graphic was last revised November 2023. Will this graphic be updated? If so, about when will it be finalized to start sharing with staff?

2024-09-30 23:09:19 UTC

Designated Supports

2024-09-30 23:13:56 UTC

Is the subject teacher the only teacher that can suggest designated supports? For example, as a math teacher, I can only make suggestions for the math test not the English or science correct?

How to change accomodations

2024-09-30 23:14:29 UTC

I am a testing administrator (1st year). I am still unclear on how we go about changing testing accommodations for students. I think heard you guys say it's done through TOMs.

What user role is required to input those test settings?

2024-09-30 23:15:19 UTC

Attendance

2024-09-30 23:17:04 UTC

Will we receive a confirmation that we attended the Webinar?

I haven't looked through all the videos but can I assume that there are demonstration videos for all the resources available?

2024-09-30 23:17:27 UTC

When can summative elpac materials be ordered for this school year?

2024-09-30 23:19:53 UTC

Languages

2024-09-30 23:20:28 UTC

Is Spanish the only language available for students during the actual test?

Who should be taking the CSA?

2024-09-30 23:21:56 UTC

Some of the principals are asking if CSA is required for the DLI students. Is there any guidance on that?

What are examples of common unlisted resources?

2024-09-30 23:26:29 UTC

Stimuli vs Item

2024-09-30 23:29:27 UTC

What are the differences? When looking at the designated supports text to speech is available for items only... can you provide an example of what each are?

Does the Spanish translations work like with the text-to-speech feature, where students have to click a button to activate them? Can a student choose not to use the Spanish translation if they wish?
