All secure materials must be returned to locked storage and remain there until testing. 41 Preidentified Student Labels FSA Affix PreID Labels (cont.) Follow these steps when verifying student information and affixing a PreID Label to a student grid sheet: 1. Verify that the student is still enrolled and that the student will be tested. Labels for students not testing should be destroyed in a secure manner because they contain student information. 2. Verify the information on the PreID roster against the schools student information database. Because the complete Social Security Number is not printed on the label, the PreID roster must be used to verify student information. It is not necessary to verify the labels against the roster because the same data file was used to create both. 3. If any information other than the student ID number (Social Security Number or Florida Student Number) is blank or incorrect on the PreID Label, the information should be entered in TIDE, but the label may still be used. If the student ID number is INCORRECT, a new student record must be created in TIDE and an On-Demand PreID Label should be printed. 42 Preidentified Student Labels FSA Affix PreID Labels (cont. for FSA) 4. In order for a document to be scanned, carefully place the label in the box that states APPLY PREID LABEL HERE. Ensure the label is not wrinkled or applied unevenly. Place the labels on the materials in the order they are packaged. 5. Do not remove labels once they have been affixed; however, if information on a label is incorrect, a new label must be printed and applied over the incorrect label. 43 44 Sample Student Labels ONLY 1 labels for FSA- Preid For FSA label must match TIDE ON-Demand Label must be printed, if not included. 1 label for FCAT FSA Label(s) FCAT Label Differences for FCAT Labels FCAT does not have on/demand label printing, you must hand- grid a student without a label. Document information does not need to match student information in Pearsonaccessnext.com. For FCAT you may not place a label over another label, for FSA you may.

Retain electronic or hard copies of completed forms after materials are packaged for pickup, andor return the originals to the district assessment coordinator. 55 Placement of Security Numbers All regular test books must be protected from loss, theft, and reproduction in any medium. FOR FSA- A unique identification number and a bar code are printed on the front cover of all secure documents. The eight digit security number is located under the barcode on the right FOR FCAT- A security number consists of a nine-digit number followed by a check digit (located in upper right corner of secure test books or test and answer books). A range sheet will be included with your materials. Written documentation of the number ranges must be maintained at all times during distribution and return of materials. 56 Security Numbers Track materials using security numbers Distribute materials sequentially Maintain complete list and verify each document is returned Document number ranges each time the materials are distributed and collected Note unused materials Record information on the Administration Record/Security Checklist 57 Security Log 58 Administration Record/Security Checklist As directed by the school coordinator, the test administrator may use the pre-populated Administration Record/Security Checklist, a blank copy of the checklist, or may make his/her own comprehensive record of security numbers, accommodations and attendance. Located in Appendix E of the FSA manuals or appendix C of FCAT manuals Security number(s) of the document(s) assigned to and returned by each student should be recorded and verified at the completion of each day of testing. Security numbers of secure materials not already listed on the pre- populated checklist (e.g., materials distributed from district overage) MUST be added to the record with the names of the students to whom the test materials are assigned. 59 Seating Chart 60 Testing Location Considerations Use classrooms whenever possible.

Certain grade levels (8 th science, retakes), subjects or test arrangements appear to be conducive to answer sharing. Quality proctoring. Large numbers of NR8s may result in an investigation and affect your school grade. 65 Missing Materials/Security Breach Test administrators should report any test irregularities (e.g., whole classrooms of disruptive students), possible security breaches and ANY report of missing materials to the school assessment coordinator immediately. The school assessment coordinator MUST communicate with Student Assessment and Research regarding possible test invalidations IMMEDIATELY AFTER (Same Day) they occur. Student assessment can be reached at 66 Letter of explanation documents: Within 2 calendar days of the incident, a written report must be submitted to the Chief School Performance and Accountability Officer, cc Richard Baum Director of Student Assessment & Research The report must include: The nature of the situation The time and place of the occurrence The names of the persons involved A description of the communication between the district assessment coordinators office and school personnel How the incident was resolved What steps are being taken to avoid future test irregularities or security breaches 67 Test Invalidation 68 Test Invalidation Remember that the main purpose of invalidation is to identify when the validity of test results have been compromised. A test administrator should discuss any situation involving possible invalidation with the school assessment coordinator, and the situation should be investigated immediately. If a situation described in the Test Invalidation/ Defective Materials Policies and Procedures section of the manual occurs, test administrators should discuss the situation with the school assessment coordinator, and the situation should be investigated immediately. If a misadministration results in invalidation due to staff misconduct or mistake, BCPS may recommend a formal reprimand. In extreme cases this may lead to loss of teaching certification or criminal charges as per the FLDOEs recommendation. 69 Test Invalidation Please follow the test specific instructions for invalidation in the corresponding test administration manual. A test MUST be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: A test MUST be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: 1. A student has an electronic device during testing or break in testing. 2. A student is cheating during testing. Situations involving possession of electronic devices or possible cheating, should be investigated and discussed with the school assessment coordinator and site administrator before a final invalidation decision is made Return ALL invalidated tests with DNS indicated with all other TO BE SCORED materials. Return ALL invalidated tests with DNS indicated with all other TO BE SCORED materials. This will ensure that the students record is on the electronic file, but the student will not receive a score. This will ensure that the students record is on the electronic file, but the student will not receive a score. 70 Possible Test Invalidation A test MAY be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: A test MAY be invalidated if any of the following circumstances occur: A student becomes ill and is unable to finish, OR a student is not allowed the correct amount of time.
