  certain medical emergency conditions, which may
  include
• A serious and fully incapacitating medical
  emergency or condition that extends across the
  entire test window
• Acute illness or recovery from a serious injury
  that is fully incapacitating and extends across
  entire test window (Students
• with broken arms can usually participate with
  accommodations.)
• A recent death in the family
• Conditions that do not qualify
• Chronic medical fragility, or
• Acute illness or injury that does not extend
  across
• entire test window. Missed test sessions can be
  made up.
• Rule of Thumb If the student can receive
  instruction, the student can participate in state
  assessment.
• Medical Emergency Forms and Procedural
  Information

Discussion and Recommendations
Preparing Students and Staff for a Successful
NECAP Experience

• Discussion Topics
• Preparing students for testing
• Introducing the test to students
• Encouraging appropriate participation
• Scheduling sessions
• Scheduling staff
• Providing Accommodations
• Using the optional reports codes
• Other ideas, strategies, issues and options

25
Test PreparationWhat is supported by research?
Langer, J.A. (2001) American Educational Research
Journal Studied Two Approaches 1) Treated
test preparation as a separate activity,
involving practice tests and test taking
hints. 2) Integrated test preparation with
the curriculum by analyzing test demands and
reformulating curriculum as needed to be sure
that students would develop the knowledge and
skills needed for strong performance on tests.

26
Test PreparationWhat is supported by research?

• Findings
• Low performing schools treated tests as an
  additional hurdle separated from curriculum
• implemented the first approach
• High performing schools had teachers and
  administrators who deconstructed and analyzed
  test items and content standards
• implemented the second approach and obtained
  higher levels of literacy.

27
Our suggestions for the use of Practice Tests
and Released Items
1) Practice Tests are most useful for
familiarizing students with test format, item
types, and test taking strategies. 2) Released
Items are most useful when they are embedded in
relevant instructional content throughout the
school year. 3) Released student work samples and
scoring materials can be used to illustrate and
discuss more and less successful responses to
test questions. 4) Examining possible student
misconceptions 5) Share the information from the
Teacher Tips document. The best test
preparation is good teaching and building a
positive learning environment in the classroom.
28
Scheduling TestingAre there differences in
performance between 2005 and 2006 index scores in
schools that gave more than one session of tests
per day?RI DOE conducted a small study in 2007
and concluded
Not Really
29

• Using the Optional Reports Codes
• For districts and schools to group students for
  analysis at the local level
• Groupings based on any factor of interest to the
  school/district (e.g. class, teacher, feeder
  school, instructional program)
• Six rows six factors of interest per student
• No more than one circle bubbled per row
• Schools/districts develop their own coding system
  or choose not to use field
• Keep a record of the key used (NH DOE and MP will
  not have copies of your key)
• Data is included in the student-level data file
  of NECAP results (district-level). No actual
  Report is produced.

31
School Test Coordinators Responsibilities (page
2 in your manual)

• Primary responsibilities
• Serve as the schools contact person with
  Measured Progress
• Ensure that any required additional student
  labels are ordered
• Coordinate all test-related activities
• Prepare test administrators to administer NECAP
  according to directions in the Test Administrator
  Manual
• Observe and monitor test administration in your
  school
• Oversee the inventory, distribution, collection,
  and return of ALL test materials
• Overall, help the principal maintain test
  security and ensure compliance with test
  administration procedures

32
Test Security (page 3)

• Test Security relies on the professional
  integrity of everyone in our schools across all
  three states. No student should be advantaged or
  disadvantaged based on how or where the test is
  administered.

• All Student Test Booklets and Student Answer
  Booklets are secure and may not be copied or
  duplicated in any way or kept by the school after
  testing is completed.

• Using secure test material to prepare students in
  any way for this test administration is a
  violation of test security and testing procedure.

33
Test Security Procedures

• Ensure that all school staff who will be involved
  with the assessment understand the importance of
  test security and adherence to standard test
  administration procedures. This includes special
  educators and special education assistants.
• Keep testing materials in a locked location when
  not in use. Do not remove testing materials from
  the school.
• Inventory test booklets when they arrive at your
  school. Keep an on-going inventory of materials
  as they are distributed and returned each day.
  Although not required, it may be beneficial to
  have test administrators sign tests in and out
  each day
• Never leave students alone with testing
  materials. Do not allow students to carry test
  materials unescorted from room to room.
• Complete and submit the principals affirmation
  of test security document. Keep a copy on file.

34

• Breaches in Test Security
• Teachers must report any concerns about breaches
  in test security to the test coordinator and/or
  principal.
• The test coordinator/principal is then
  responsible for reporting breaches to the
  district superintendent and to Tim Kurtz at the
  NH DOE (603-271-3846).

Checklists for Principals and Test Coordinators
(page ii)

• Before Testing
• During Testing
• After Testing

37
Preparation for Test Administration (pages 4-5)
BEFORE TESTING

• Manuals
• Read the Principal/Test Coordinator and Test
  Administrator Manuals
• Student Participation and Accommodations
• The Accommodations, Guidelines, and Procedures
  Administrator Training Guide covers these topics
• Who should be tested
• Determining how students will participate using
  accommodations
• Documenting and bubbling in accommodation codes

38
Accommodations
Who is eligible for testing accommodations? ALL
students
39
Accommodations

• Accommodations do not change what we expect
  students to know and be able to do.
• Test accommodations are based on individual
  student needs and classroom assessment practice
  they are not for the use by an entire classroom
  or category of students.
• They should not give students unfair advantages
  rather they are meant to remove barriers that may
  exist due to a students learning style or
  disability.
• Test administrators must be trained in their use.
  This includes special education assistants and
  substitutes.
• Students should have experience using the
  accommodation(s). Preferably, they should be
  accommodations the student uses in day-to-day
  classroom instruction and assessment.

40
Appendix 5Table of Standard Test Accommodations
(Page A-6)
41
Accommodations

• Accommodations, Guidelines, and Procedures
  Administrator Training Guide, Updated August
  2007
• Available at www.ed.state.nh.us/assessment
• Using the Table of Standard Test Accommodations,
  school teams may choose in advance, and use
  without state approval, any standard
  accommodation listed in categories A, B, C, or D.
  
• After testing is finished, all accommodations
  actually used during testing must be recorded on
  page 2 of the Student Answer Booklet.

42
Accommodations

• Requests for the use of Other Accommodations (E)
• Contact state DOE for review and approval before
  testing
• Accommodation(s) must be consistent with those
  used in students regular classroom or student
  has experience using the accommodation prior to
  the assessment
• If the requested accommodation is found to be
  comparable to a standard accommodation, written
  approval will be given and student work fully
  credited
• Student work done using category A, B, C, D, or
  approved E accommodations will be fully
  credited scored.

43
Modifications

• If state review determines that your request for
  an other accommodation will change what the test
  measures, the state will respond in writing that
  use of this procedure will produce a test
  modification and must therefore be coded as a
  Modification (F)
• Use of a Modification (F) will result in no
  credit given for student work during test
  sessions in which this modification was used.
• Any Other Accommodation not registered as
  approved by your state department of education
  will be treated as a Modification (F).

44
Accommodations

• Expanded information, guidance and forms for
  choosing, planning, requesting, and using
  accommodations is available at
  www.ed.state.nh.us/assessment in a printable
  manual called

• Scheduling Test Sessions (pages 6-10)
• All testing, including accommodated sessions and
  make-up sessions, must occur within the testing
  window (October 1 October 23, 2007).
• Test sessions must be scheduled and given in the
  order presented in the students test booklet.
• Students who miss a test session may resume
  testing as soon as they return to school, taking
  the same session as their classmates. They should
  make-up the missed session as soon as possible.
  This is the only case when tests or test sessions
  may be given out of order.
• All grade level classrooms in the school must
  follow the same testing schedule. To the extent
  possible, districts should coordinate testing in
  order to avoid possible breaches in test
  security. Schools do not need to report their
  testing schedule to the NH DOE.

46

• Scheduling Test Sessions
• NECAP test sessions are designed to be completed
  in approximately
• 45 minutes for grades 3 through 8
• 60 minutes for grade 11
• Test sessions may be no shorter than these
  minimum time limits.
• All Students are allowed additional time
• 45 minutes for grades 3 through 8
• 30 minutes for grade 11
• Additional time can be given to all students if
  needed, without an accommodation. Only those
  students with an Extended Time accommodation
  (B-3) may be permitted more than 90 minutes to
  complete a session.
• If all students finish before the 90-minute
  window has ended, testing may be concluded for
  that session.
