BROWARD ASSESSMENT OF FLORIDA STANDARDS (BAFS) ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE

The Broward County Broward Assessment of Florida Standards (BAFS) is designed to mirror the Florida Standards as appropriate to each grade level. As such, results from the assessment should be used as one component to guide instructional decision-making. There will be three separate manuals produced for the BAFS assessment, one for each school level. This manual is for High Schools.

TEST ADMINISTRATION POLICY & PROCEDURES Students to Be Tested Students should participate in the BAFS per instructions communicated by the district. Some ESE students who have an IEP indicating the student will not participate in FCAT/FSA testing, these same students should also not participate in the BAFS. ESE students who do not participate in FCAT /FSA may participate in the district BAFS if school staff determine that it would be appropriate. Administration Accommodations Accommodations should be provided to ESE students with current IEPs, limited English proficient (ELL) students, and students with 504 plans in the same manner that accommodations are provided regularly in the classroom and on the FCAT or FSA. Make-Up Administration Procedures No specific make-up test dates will be allocated for the administration of the BAFS. All testing must be completed within the designated administration window. However, within the test administration window, schools may choose to administer make-up sessions for students who were absent during the regular test administration. Please keep in mind that students who participate in only one session within a subject area (e.g., take English Language Arts Session 1, but are absent for and do not make-up English Language Arts Session 2) will NOT receive a score for that subject area. Calculators Students in grades 7 (session 2 math only) and 8 (science) and enrolled in Biology may use the FCAT calculators provided by the District on the BAFS. Students in grades 3–6 are NOT permitted to use calculators. For the Geometry, Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 EOC only, special calculators should be used as directed by the FDOE. The following calculators are permissible:

Texas Instruments Casio Sharp HP Others TI-30XS Multi-View TI-30X IIS (solar) TI-36X Solar TI-30Xa TI-34 Multi-View TI-36X II

FX-300ES FX-260 Solar FX-300 MS FX-65

EL-531WH EL-509W/531W EL-503W EL-510R EL-501W EL-501X

HP 10s Calculators with similar functions may be approved.

If one of these scientific calculators cannot be supplied to a student, you may use any other scientific calculator or the four-function FCAT calculators provide by the District on the BAFS EOC math Exams. In general if students are using a calculator not on this list it should not be able to store information or create graphs. Keep in mind that if you use a scientific calculator that is not on the list above, it will not be allowed during state-mandated EOC testing.

2

TEST ADMINISTRATION POLICY & PROCEDURES (CONT’D) Science Reference Sheets Students in grades 8 and those enrolled in Biology only will be provided FCAT Reference Sheets for use during the Science Assessments. Answer Sheets All students will record their answers on a separate answer sheet using a #2 pencil. There will be one answer sheet for each subject area, printed at the school. Please refer to the instructions for printing answer documents located at the Updates and Manuals portion of the Student Assessment and Research website: http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/sar/updatesManuals.htm There are two separate sets of instructions for producing answer sheets, one for traditional schools and one for charters. It is very important that you follow these instructions exactly or your answer document may not print or scan correctly. STUDENT ANSWER SHEETS WILL BE PREPRINTED WITH STUDENT IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION FROM WITHIN VIRTUAL COUNSELOR. Schools MUST check the answer sheets following the session administration to make certain that students have responded in the correct area. Please do not make any marks on the answer sheets with any writing instrument other than a #2 pencil. Writing anywhere on the answer sheets with an ink pen, marker, highlighter, colored pencil, correction fluid, etc., will interfere with the scanning and scoring of the documents. Test Administrators should check answer sheets carefully for stray marks to ensure accurate scoring results.

TEST INVALIDATION & SECURITY PROCEDURES Test Invalidation It may be necessary to invalidate a student’s answer sheet during testing. If any of the following situations arise, the student’s answer sheet should be marked as invalid:

The student is caught cheating or is disruptive during testing. The student becomes ill during testing. The student was not allowed the correct amount of time to complete the session. The student participated in only one session in a test subject area. The student filled in answers on a session other than the current session.

If any of these situations occur, do not scan the answer document. Instead write invalid on the front of the student’s answer sheet and retain at the school site. Administration Record Schools should keep a record of any students for whom a test section was invalidated. This includes students who were absent for one or both sessions of the test within a subject area, students who became ill during testing, and students whose tests were invalidated for any reason. This information should be kept on file at your school. Test Security Broward Assessment of Florida Standards are considered secure test documents. All test security rules and regulations apply to the Broward Assessment of Florida Standards. The Broward Assessment of Florida Standards should be treated in the same manner as state assessments. Activities prohibited under test security protocols include:

http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/sar/updatesManuals.htm

TEST INVALIDATION & SECURITY PROCEDURES (CONT’D) Activities prohibited under test security protocols include:

Reading the passages or test items Revealing the passages or test items Copying the passages or test items Interpreting or reading test items or passages for students Changing or otherwise interfering with student responses to test items Causing achievement of schools to be inaccurately measured or reported Copying or reading student responses

All personnel are prohibited from examining or copying the test items and/or the contents of the student test books and answer sheets. The security of all test materials must be maintained before, during, and after testing.

4

TEST ADMINISTRATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES Before Testing • Prepare the room for testing. Arrange the room so that each student will have enough work space and so that there will

be sufficient space between students to prevent cheating. • Assemble materials needed during and after the test, including #2 pencils, a watch or clock to keep time, and the test

books and answer sheets. • Check the answer sheets. Make sure you have an answer sheet for every student in your class. Make sure that the

correct answer sheet for the subject area being tested is being used. That subject should be clearly marked at the top of the answer document.

During Testing • Distribute materials as specified in the scripts that follow, making sure that each student receives the preidentified

answer sheet with his/her name on it. • Read scripts VERBATIM. • Keep time during testing. • Maintain test security. • Supervise test administration. While students are working, the test administrator should move about the room and

ensure that:

Students have cleared their desks of all materials except the appropriate test materials. Students are working independently. Students are using only a #2 pencil to mark their answers on the answer sheets. Students are working in the correct session of the test and marking their answers appropriately on the correct

answer sheet. Students are permitted to use the empty space in their test books as work space. They may underline and/or circle words, phrases, etc. in the passages, problems, or questions if they find this strategy helpful. However, no extraneous marks should be made on the student answer sheets. Students must take care to only grid the answer choice that they have selected for each item on the answer sheet. Remember, only a #2 pencil should be used. While it is appropriate to encourage students to continue working during the test administration, it is not appropriate to talk with them about any test item or to help them answer any test question. For example, if a student finishes the test before the allotted time for the session has elapsed or has not attempted to complete a question, it would be appropriate to address the entire class to go back and check their work, when they have completed the tests. It is not acceptable to provide students with any information that would allow them to infer the correct answer, such as suggesting that they might want to check their work on a specific question. Do not talk to students about any specific test item or engage in any verbal or nonverbal communication that would allow students to conclude they have answered a question incorrectly. Collecting Test Materials If all students have completed the Broward Assessment of Florida Standards, have checked over their work and are sitting with their test books closed prior to the 10-minute warning, Test Administrators may issue the 10-minute warning. Once the 10 minutes have expired, materials may be collected and the Test Administrator may proceed to the next classroom activity. After Testing • Separate the To Be Scored answer sheets from the Not-To-Be Scored materials (test books, unused answer sheets, etc.) • Make sure that no stray marks have been made on the student answer sheets. Carefully erase any stray pencil marks on

the student answer sheets, without changing or otherwise interfering with student responses to test questions. • Return all test materials (answer sheets, test books, and any other BAFS material) to the School Testing Coordinator. • Notify the School Testing Coordinator immediately if any materials are missing.

SCHOOL COORDINATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES Maintain Test Security At All Times All Broward Assessment of Florida Standards (BAFS) materials are considered secure test documents. As such, the same test security rules and regulations apply to BAFS testing as would all other statewide assessments. Some activities prohibited under the Florida Department of Education Test Security Protocols include:

Reading the passages or test items Revealing the passages or test items Copying the passages or test items Interpreting or reading test items or passages for students Changing or otherwise interfering with student responses to test items Causing achievement of schools to be inaccurately measured or reported Copying or reading student responses

All school personnel are prohibited from examining or copying the test items and/or the contents of the students’ test books and answer sheets. Secure test materials must be placed in locked storage when they are not in use. The security of all test materials must be maintained before, during, and after testing. BAFS Materials Return All schools should make their best effort to complete testing by the end of the school day on Day 5 of testing. If this is not possible, students should be assessed within the next school week and their answer documents scanned. Students not assessed within a reasonable time frame will not be included in school wide reporting of results. Collect all BAFS materials from the Test Administrators. Make sure that each Test Administrator returns all answer sheets (used and unused), all test books (used and unused) and all other BAFS materials that were assigned to him/her. Specific dates for pick up (traditional public schools) and hand delivery (charter schools) of used and unused test materials will be sent to Testing Coordinators, via email. Please note schools must have BAFS materials packed and ready for pick-up at the designated pick up time to avoid being reported as a late return. Late Returns may require a letter from the school’s principal and your test materials must be hand-delivered to Student Assessment & Research, by 3:00 p.m. of your missed pick up day. Prepare To-Be-Scored Materials for Scanning Answer Sheets

All student answer sheets should be scanned and scored except those from absent or invalidated students.

Make stacks of To-Be-Scored answer sheets: o English Language Arts o Math (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry) o Science (Biology) o Social Studies (US History)

Make sure the answer sheets in both stacks are all facing in the same direction and represent the same teacher and subject.

For Traditional Schools: follow the “How to Generate, Print and Scan BAFS Bubble Sheets” document posted to the Updates and Manuals portion of the Student Assessment and Research website.

For Charter Schools: follow the “How to Generate, Print and Scan BAFS Bubble Sheets for Charter Schools” document posted to the Updates and Manuals portion of the Student Assessment and Research website.

More information regarding the scanning and scoring of BAFS To-Be-Scored materials will be forthcoming, via email.

Prepare Materials for Return

All used, unused and defective BAFS test books (ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies) will be picked

up from traditional public schools. All used, unused and defective BAFS test books and To-Be-Scored answer documents must be hand

delivered by charter schools the week following each BAFS administration.

SCHOOL COORDINATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES All test books (used, unused, all subject areas, all grade levels) may be packed together in the same boxes.
