  19. Page 2 Summary of 2009 Changes The MAP tests will begin being conversationally referred to as MAP Grade-Level Assessments. However, no written name change will appear until the 2010 manuals. • MAP Grade-Level Assessments will no longer be administered at Grades 10 and 11. Those assessments are replaced by the MAP End-of-Course Assessments. A new bubble has been added to the Student Information Sheet (SIS) called, “Not Enrolled in Building”. Guidelines have been added for how to handle test books of students who move during test administration.

  20. Page 2 • Foreign exchange student guidelines have been added. • Guidelines for electronic equipment have been added. • Guidelines for handling students who recognize literacy-based passages have been added. • The white shipping label for return of test books now reads: “UNUSED/DO NOT SCORE.” Summary of 2009 Changes (contd.)

  21. Page 2 The process for transcribing student responses from a Braille test book to the regular print version has changed. Instructions for this process are included in the Braille Kits sent directly to Examiners. Summary of 2009 Changes (contd.)

  22. Page 3 Guidelines for Special Student Groups • Accommodations for special populations can be found in the Test Examiners’ Manuals • The following are examples of special populations: • IEP students • IAP (504) • ELL • Guidelines for testing other students can be found in the TCM • Out-of-District students • Homebound students • Home-schooled students • MoVIP students

  23. Page 3 Students Testing Out-of-District • The home DTC (where the student is enrolled) delivers the testing materials to the serving districts/agencies • After testing, the completed materials are returned to the home DTC • The GIS determines where students’ result will be reported

  24. Page 3 Homebound Students: • Must take the test if they are receiving homebound services • Must have test administered by a trained Examiner who guarantees the security of testing materials • May be tested either at home or school

  25. Page 3 Home-School Students • May take part with the local district at the district’s discretion • If receiving services in a subject that is assessed, the student must be tested at the local school. The student will only be tested in the subject area in which they are receiving instruction

  26. Page 4 Student Make-up Sessions

  27. Page 4 Student Absences • Write student’s name on front of the unused test book • Affix student barcode label if accurate • Complete SIS if student barcode label is inaccurate • Code SIS for absences • Return test book with scorable books

  28. Page 5 Large Print/Braille Procedures • Must be transcribed to a regular edition test book to receive score • Large Print/Braille editions must be labeled, “Contents transcribed to a regular test book -- DO NOT SCORE” • Must use special handling and packaging instructions that come with the Large Print/Braille editions • Must return Large Print/Braille editions with unused testing materials

  29. Page 5 ELL Students For Mathematics and Science Assessments only: • ELL students may respond in their native language, oral or written • ELL students’ responses must be translated into English and scribed verbatim into a regular test book • Translators must be trained in administering the MAP Grade-Level tests • Translators can review tests before administration in a secure environment • Translators must guarantee security of testing materials • ELL accommodation codes apply (see Examiner’s Manual codes)

  31. Page 6 & 7 Invalidation Procedures • The STC agrees with the Examiner regarding the test invalidation due to cheating • STC completes the Teacher Invalidation grid on the SIS • STC provides demographic information to the DTC • STC includes invalidated test materials with the scorable testing materials • DTC sends written communication to DESE

  32. Page 8 & 9 Check lists for DTC and STC • Convenient check lists are provided to the DTC and STC on pages 8 and 9 of the TCM • DTC and STC must ensure all functions are completed • DTC and STC are responsible for both check lists if either of the responsible parties/roles is not available
