  2. Manuals CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  3. General Information 2014 DCCM – p. T-3 • TELPAS fulfills federal requirements for assessing the English language proficiency of English Language Learners (ELLs) in grades K-12 • Four language domains: • Listening • Speaking • Reading • Writing CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  4. General Information 2015 DCCM – p. T-3 • Reports student performance in terms of four proficiency levels • Beginning • Intermediate • Advanced • Advanced High • Results are used in accountability and performance-based monitoring (PBM) indicators CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  5. Assessment Components 2015 DCCM – p. T-3 • Grades K-1 • Holistically rated observational assessments of listening, speaking, reading, and writing • Grades 2-12 • Multiple-choice online reading tests in six grade clusters (Gr. 2, 3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12) • Holistically rated student writing collections • Holistically rated observational assessments of listening and speaking CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  6. Eligibility Requirements 2015 DCCM – p. T-3 ALL K-12 ELLs are required to participate in TELPAS, including students whose parents have declined bilingual/ESL program services (parent denials – PEIMS code of C) ELLs are required to be assessed annually until they meet bilingual/ESL program exit criteria and are reclassified as non-LEP CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  7. Rare Circumstances for Non-Participation 2015 DCCM – p. T-4 Date: March 16th • Students may not be required to participate in one or more TELPAS language domains • ARD Decision • ARD committee, in conjunction with LPAC, may determine that an ELL receiving special ed. services not be assessed in one or more domains based on student’s disability • Decision must be made on domain-by-domain basis – NOT blanket decision • Reason must be well-supported and documented in IEP & LPAC paperwork • Newly Enrolled ELL – Holistically Rated Domains • ELL from another Texas school district, state, or country who enrolls on or after the first day of the TELPAS testing window will not be assessed by the receiving district in the holistically rated domains • Are required to take the TELPAS reading test, if not already tested CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  8. Steps to the TELPAS Process • Identify students who need to be assessed • Identify teachers who will serve as raters and verifiers • Train teachers & verifiers (no later than Feb. 6th) • Access/complete required online courses in the Texas Training Center (texas.pearson.desire2learn.com) • Verify that courses have been completed BEFORE rating/verifying takes place • Local procedures for collection, assembly, verification, & rating of writing samples CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  9. Steps to the TELPAS Process Attend training for online Reading test Create Reading test sessions in TAMS, train test administrators, & ensure all students are assessed Create Holistic Rating groups and ensure all holistic ratings are entered in TAMS Verify that all assessment components are complete for all eligible students by the end of the TELPAS window File all required documentation on campus CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  10. Calendar Dates - 2015 2015 DCCM – p. T-9 • CTCs train all teachers by Feb. 6th • January 12 – assemblying/verifying module opens • January 26 – “basic” training modules open • Must be completed by all NEW raters • February 16 – calibration modules open • Must be completed by all new & returning raters • February 17 - Begin collecting TELPAS writing samples TELPAS window: March 16-April 8, 2015 CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  11. Training Spring TELPAS Administration Procedures Training As a key part of this training, information from the TELPAS Rater Manual is reviewed to prepare raters to proceed with online holistic rating training Returning Raters New Raters Online Basic Training Course Online Calibration (Sets 1 and 2*) Online Calibration (Sets 1 and 2*) If not calibrated: Supplemental Holistic Rating Training * Set 2 required only if not successful on Set 1 Final Online Calibration (Set 3) CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  12. Training of Teachers Who Will Be Raters As part of annual spring TELPAS administration procedures training, holistic rating training requirements are reviewed with raters, as well as information about how to access the online training and calibration components In addition, raters receive training on assessment procedures such as how to assemble writing collections, how to record students’ proficiency ratings, etc. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  13. Two Types of Training • Online basic training course • This course is for new raters. • It provides instruction on using the PLD rubrics and gives raters practice rating students in each language domain. • There are separate courses for K-1 and 2-12. • Online calibration • This is for ALL raters. • Raters use the PLDs to rate students in each language domain. • Raters have three opportunities to calibrate on assigned grade clusters CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  14. Training & Calibration Grade Clusters Grade Clusters • Grades K–1 • Grade 2 • Grades 3–5 • Grades 6–8 • Grades 9–12 Raters must know their assigned grade cluster to select the appropriate online training. Raters should consult with their campus testing coordinator if they are unsure of their assigned cluster. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  15. Raters with Students in Multiple Grade Clusters “within” Grades 2-12 • Example: A grade 2–5 ESL teacher has most of her ELLs in grade 3. She must complete training and calibration in grades 3–5. As a best practice, she should review the online practice activities for grade 2 to check her readiness to apply the rubrics appropriately. Raters are required to train and calibrate in the cluster in which they have the most ELLs. As a best practice, these raters should also review online basic training course practice activities in the additional cluster(s). CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  16. Raters with Students in Multiple Grade Clusters that “include” Grades K-1 • Example: A grade 1–3 ESL teacher has most of his ELLs in grade 2. He must complete training and calibration in grades K–1 and 2. As a best practice, he should review the online practice activities for grades 3–5 to check his readiness to apply the rubrics appropriately for his 3rd grade students. Because of differences in the instructional content and rating rubrics, these raters must complete training and calibration for K-1 and at least one other cluster in 2-12. Raters with more than one additional cluster should train in the cluster in which they have the most ELLs. As a best practice, these raters should also review online basic training course practice activities in the additional cluster(s). CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  17. When and where do raterstake the online training? Depending on campus arrangements, raters may either complete training and calibration during school hours, after school, or on weekends. The online training system allows raters to access the training from any computer that meets the minimum system requirements. Training courses (basic & calibration) need to be completed independently, NOT in a group. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  18. Why is calibration necessary? Calibration helps ensure that raters have adequate training, including ample practice and feedback, before they assess their students in the spring. Calibration ensures that raters clear their heads and consider only the elements of student performance included in the PLDs. Calibration supports assessment validity and reliability and is an important part of holistically scored assessment processes. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  19. Preparing for Calibration Sets New raters must complete the online basic training course before beginning calibration. All raters have the option to review the online basic training course (which includes practice rating activities) before beginning calibration. As a reminder, returning raters that have not been trained as raters within the last three school years are required to complete the online basic training course CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  20. Other Things to KnowAbout Calibration Raters affirm online that they will keep the contents of the calibration sets secure and confidential. Calibration activities are taken from a bank and randomized. Trainees will rate different sets of students. Raters can work at their own pace, go back and review students, and change ratings as they work. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  21. Other Things to KnowAbout Calibration(con’t) Raters can exit and return later to finish. They click a “submit” button when they are finished with a set. After completing a calibration set, raters immediately see results. Results show both the rating assigned by the rater as well as the correct rating. Raters see annotations explaining the correct ratings. Raters should use the annotations to go back and review any incorrectly rated students. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  22. Other Things to KnowAbout Calibration(con’t) Is calibration a test? How many students must be rated successfully? No, it is a training method that ensures that raters have enough guidance, practice, and support to assess students consistently and accurately. To be successful, raters need to rate students in their assigned grade cluster with at least 70% accuracy. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  23. Will raters be able to refer to anyresources during calibration activities? • Yes. Raters should use their rating rubrics (PLDS) and refer to, as needed, information from the: • Online basic training course • Holistic rating PowerPoints Produced by TEA • TELPAS Rater Manual • Educator Guide to TELPAS CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  24. Recap of Calibration Process There are 3 sets of 10 students. Raters who calibrate successfully on set 1 are done. Raters who do not calibration on set 1 go on to set 2. If they calibrate successfully on set 2 they are done. Raters who do not calibrate on set 2 receive supplemental training. Raters attempt their and final calibration set. If they are successful on set 3, they are done. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  25. What happens if a rater isunsuccessful in calibrating? Raters who are not successful after sets 1 and 2 must receive supplemental training. The rater will meet with a district-appointed supplemental support provider. After the rater has received supplemental training, he or she will be able to access the third and final calibration set. If rater does not successfully pass SET 3 after supplemental support they must work with a qualified rater and the qualified rater must sign off as the teacher of record. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  26. Basic Training & Online Calibration 2015 Rater Manual– p. 14 No state-required level of rating accuracy for the online basic training course Calibration, however, must be completed at 70% or better Calibration is completed “across” domains, not on separate domains You may refer to the PLDs (pp. 33-37 in the 2015 Rater Manual) as you rate each student. You may refer to other holistic rating training material, as well. The first 2 calibration sets are available February 16th. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  27. TELPAS Reminders • It is a violation of state assessment procedures and a serious testing irregularity to record, discuss, or share answers to the rating practice and calibration activities • Calibration must be completed individually, not in a group setting. • NEW: After completion of calibration activities, raters must destroy all notestaken about specific student profiles. • Returning raters who have not completed calibration activities within the last three school years are required to complete the online basic training course before calibrating. • Must have calibrated in 2012, 2013, or 2014 to be current CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic

  28. Course and Calibration Certificates Raters who take the basic training course get a certificate from the online TrainingCenter after completing the course components. Raters will receive a certificate of successful calibration when they calibrate. You can have them bring you their certificate so you can verify on your rater roster that they have completed their required training. CISD CTC Training - TELPAS Holistic
