Subject:                Assessment Update

As it is our goal to keep you informed of upcoming events with the assessments, here are some key points to be aware of this week.

New items:

•         The spring assessment window is now open. Please contact the Measured Progress Oklahoma Service Desk if you experience any issues.

•         Please be sure you are using the most recent version of the Testing Administration Manuals<http://oklahoma.onlinehelp.measuredprogress.org/test-administration-manuals-tams-2015-2016/>.

•         Correction: In the email blast yesterday it was communicated that adding students to a class in the Portal would cause the session access code to change. This is incorrect. The student passwords would change, and the session code would remain the same. There would still be a need to reprint the student ticket.

•         English II and English III item numbering: In both of these assessments the writing prompt is assigned item number 1. The first true question will be item number 2. If a student does not start with the writing prompt the first item they will see is number 2.

•         If you have questions about which documents belong in each section for return to Measured Progress please refer to the new detailed graphic<https://oklahoma.onlinehelp.measuredprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/04/Detailed-school-packing-graphic.pdf> on the Help and Support page.

•         Annual DTC and ATC meeting – May 23, 2016: SDE, and Measured Progress, along with eMetric will host the annual DTC and ATC meeting to recap what went well in the spring assessment and discuss opportunities for areas of improvement. Registration is required: http://iregister.measuredprogress.org/ and select Oklahoma from the drop down menu. Please note, overnight accommodations are not provided.
Assessment tips:
Online testing:

•         Be sure to complete Workstation Readiness Testing<https://oklahoma.onlinehelp.measuredprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/03/Memo_WSR.pdf> to ensure a smooth testing experience.

•         We recommend staggering students starting the test, staggering a group of students starting their test by 40-60 seconds will optimize the bandwidth available at your site.

•         It is best practice to have students requiring a zoom accommodation use a desktop computer with a larger monitor for the best testing experience.

Paper based testing:

•         If you need paper testing booklets for grades 6-8 Science and Social Studies please order these using the additional materials ordering process.

•         Return of materials: Please review page 32 of the Test Preparation Manual<http://oklahoma.onlinehelp.measuredprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/10/OK_2015-16_Test_Prep_Manual_web.pdf> for instructions on the use of green and white return shipping labels.
