From cbrown at osrhe.edu Tue May 19 11:19:00 2015 From: cbrown at osrhe.edu (Brown, Cynthia (OSRHE)) Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 16:19:00 +0000 Subject: [Okepas] Ordering EXPLORE Message-ID: <40725C2F1AA6F1439615D767C663D7754D75D33D@Drake.osrhe.edu> Colleagues and Friends, Finally we are ready!! Please use the attached instructions to guide you through the online ordering process for 8th grade EXPLORE. If you encounter difficulties with the system, please call EPAS Customer Support at 1-877-789-2925. When you place your order for EXPLORE, you should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, please save this email until you receive all of your reports back next fall. As mentioned in an earlier message, State Regents does not have the funds to pay for PLAN this year because of significant price increases. The PLAN test will not be used as an alternate test as it will be the same form as last year, as will the EXPLORE. Testing window is August 18 through October 30.

I thought EXPLORE and PLAN were gone. o Yes, you are right. ACT is providing a transition year using the same version of the test as this year at an increased price. ? If we can't use PLAN for EOI Alternate, what can we use for Alg I and Biology? o It is my understanding from Melissa White that the State Department of Education is working to add other assessments including ACT Aspire to the EOI Alternate lists. ? Can we order EXPLORE for other grades and pay for them? o It is my understanding that schools who are on the State Regents contract list may order EXPLORE for other grades. Our list includes all public and private schools who used EXPLORE last year. ? Can we order ACT Aspire? o Absolutely, if you pay for it. The folks that can help you with that are: ?

I have obviously been caught re-using an earlier message and not getting it thoroughly updated! You may give me 40 lashes with a wet noodle today. The ordering instructions for EXPLORE have been sent. You can begin your summer vacation with the understanding that some gov'ment folks make mistakes and do admit them (especially when they are soooooo obvious). Please do register for a workshop! Cindy P.S. Maybe I should retire! But not yet!
