    9. ANY student who is receiving an accommodation MUST be informed of what accommodation(s) and the level of that accommodation they will be receiving PRIOR to beginning the state assessment. Students with Accommodations

    10. Directions for STAAR and STAAR Modified are the same for MATH. Students will locate reference materials and graph paper inside the test booklet. They are torn out, test administrators may help students tear out these pages. Specific directions are given on how students are to complete items that require a grid on the mathematics test. 3rd/4th/6th/7th Grade Math Extra reference charts printed from TEA website correctly for the ruler issue.Extra reference charts printed from TEA website correctly for the ruler issue.

    11. STAAR L students MUST be assessed in a separate room from STAAR and STAAR M. For the STAAR L version of the math test there are special call out boxes in the test administrator directions. STAAR L students will not use all the bubbles on the answer document. ELLs with the linguistic accommodation, English clarification, have a special call out box with directions for the student. The test administrator may need the English Clarification Guide (ECG) for math, if the student has the accommodation of Clarification in English. STAAR L Math

    12. Test administrators MUST have the SAME form number as the students test booklets. STAAR and STAAR M MUST be in separate rooms for an oral administration. Test administrators must be familiar with the content. Test administrators must review Appendix C for specific information on an oral administration.

ALL TAs who use a student booklet MUST sign the section of their oath regarding the viewing of secure content (OA, transcribers, Modified TAs). They also need to put their name on cover. Reading Oral Administration

    18. A student who qualifies for the STAAR L version of math, science, and social studies, has to take a STAAR reading test. There is no L version of reading, so they take STAAR reading (English or possibly Spanish in grades 3 or 4, dependent upon language). Student Issue

    19. 5th and 8th Grade Science

    20. Science Materials Needed

    21. Call out boxes are utilized in the test administrator manual with specific information regarding reference materials: See 8th grade manual pg. 55 NO SCIENCE REFERENCE MATERIALS for 5th GRADE- cross out box on page 53. Call out boxes for grid items: See 5th grade manual pg. 54 (NOT for modified) See 8th grade manual pg. 56 (NOT for modified) Science Specifics

    23. Grade 8 Social Studies

    24. Social Studies Materials Needed

    25. Due to the fact that we moved the test date for social studies to Monday, April 23rd, test administrators WILL read the directions on pg. 54 for ALL students. On Thursday, students then follow directions on pg. 54 ONLY if they are given a different book or have been absent all week. Grade 8 Social Studies

    27. Oral Administration

    28. BEFORE conducting an oral administration, read Appendix C. Reading Test questions and answer choices Reading selections may NEVER be read aloud to a student Must be read aloud in the order they are presented Math-Science-Social Studies Test questions and answer choices Must be read aloud in the order they are presented Test question must be read aloud prior to reading the answer choices Any words, number or symbols that appear on the state-supplied mathematics reference materials or an allowable supplemental aid my be read aloud to an eligible student Test Administrator Manual pg. 97-106 (Grades 6-8) or pg. 115-128 (Grades 3-5) Oral Administration

    29. Test administrators may read aloud any word, phrase, or sentence in the test questions and answer choices as many times as needed. At the end of the test, the test administrator may go back to reread a question and its answer choices at a students request. Test administrators must be familiar with content-specific terms and symbols associated with the subject-area tests. Test administrators must know students reading support levels and if a student can change the level of support. Oral Administration

    30. ALL questions and answer choices TA MUST have a test booklet with the same form number as the students. PART questions and answer choices TA can read over a students shoulder. However if the TA reads aloud out of a separate book, MUST have a test booklet with the same form number as the students. STAAR Versions For STAAR Modified each campus will only receive ONE form number, so all should have the same form numberbe careful with additional orders. Only one form of STAAR L. District overage will be FORM 1 for STAAR assessments. Oral Administration

    33. STAAR M for reading ALWAYS, due to prereading text, MUST have the same FORM NUMBER. STAAR M math, science, and social studies oral administration MUST have the same FORM NUMBER. STAAR (English and Spanish) oral administrations for reading, math, science, or social studies MUST have the same FORM NUMBER. Test Booklet Issues

    34. SORT YOUR BOOKSto make sure all oral administrations have the SAME FORM NUMBER. If you do not have enough of a specific form number, order from the Testing Dept., you will get FORM 1 for STAAR and the specific campus issued form number for STAAR M. STAAR L must always be tested separately. STAAR and STAAR M depends on the accommodations for math, science, and social studies. STAAR and STAAR M reading are ALWAYS SEPARATE. Oral administrations are ALWAYS separate based on test type. Organization

    35. Begin testing NO LATER than 9:15 a.m. Students arriving AFTER 9:15 a.m. will be held in a specified location. Late arriving students will be placed in a testing room at 10:00 a.m. Separate room from students who started at 9:15 a.m. Students will begin testing at 10:00 a.m. Each student will be provided a 4-hour testing session, unless the student has extended time. Start and Stop Times

    36. Score Code Field A= absent O= other S= score * = two test answer documents Test Taken Info Field STAAR (EN)- English STAAR (SP)- Spanish STAAR L (L)- L version Form number, except for STAAR L (not applicable) Accommodations will be coded by Type. In addition, some accommodations require additional identification, such as braille, large print, oral administration, extra day, and extra time. Accommodations for ELLs is LA (Linguistic Accomm.) BD = bilingual dictionary XT= extra time D = dictionary CE= clarification in English RA= reading aloud of text CP= clarification of words in reading prompt CS= clarification of words in short-answer reading questions OT= oral translation BG = bilingual glossary Answer Documents Colored answer documents.Colored answer documents.

    37. The campus coordinator checklist was designed directly from the District and Campus Coordinator Manual. Clarification on any item may be found in the DCCM. Campus training must be conducted by April 20, 2012. Coordinator Checklist.

    38. Grades 3,4,6, and 7 NO LATER THAN 4:00 on Wednesday, April 25th with no make-ups. Grades 5 and 8 (all others, if you retained books for make-ups), NO LATER THAN 4:00 on Thursday, April 26th. Material Return
