  1. End of Course (EOC) Fall BAC Training 2013-2014

  2. What’s New • Removal of graduates from Vantage (2012 and 2013) • KDE/ACT upload/update of student accounts • Inactivate duplicate student accounts • Bulk Student Roster Upload Function • Preparation for year three (2013-14) • State Course Codes • Online Stress Test

  3. Duplicate Student Accounts • KDE and ACT are working collaboratively to purge the system of duplicate accounts. • The target is to have this work done this fall. • After this effort, school staff should review school lists to verify quality of work. Please review BAC e-mails for additional information.

  4. Removal of Graduates from Vantage • New Policy: Graduates will be removed from the Vantage system by ACT in December following graduation dates. • Allows school staff time to print Individual Student Reports. • ACT and KDE will work together to determine when this effort will be complete. Please review the BAC e-mails for additional information about this effort.

  5. Online Stress Test The purpose of this assessment is to provide Kentucky educators assurance the online system will work with a large number of students in the system at once. ACT must prove the system has been fixed; if it cannot, the state will likely look for a different testing vendor for the 2014-15 school year. District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) will be contacted as more details are developed.

  6. Testing Sessions • Paper Testing: • ALL students must be tested at the same time, in the same content area. • Computer Testing: • Multiple testing sessions can be utilized in a single day. • The first computer based test must begin at the same time as the paper based test. • Note: A 10-15 minute break is allowed between test sessions.
