HOT TESTING TOPICS 2013 Important Things to Know about Testing

Slide 3
3 2.Time Chart revised to incorporate time buffer from 2012.
Chart shows times and number of items per grade level and subjects.
1.Administration Code and Inclusion of Special Populations
regulations are unchanged, 2009 versions still effective. 3.Student
Honor Code Added to focus on test security. TAM is scripted to
direct student review and completion.
Slide 4
KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013 4 4.EOC constructed response (CR) items
move to local administration (instead of state) in February 2013.
EOC test is the first time Kentucky has tried to blend a state
accountability model with a local school grading model. The results
of the test must support both grading and accountability. The CR
items did not provide feedback and instructional information. EOC
CRs did not support local grading. KDE strongly encourages CR
scores be included in the EOC final course grade.
Slide 5
KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013 5 CRs may be generated and scored
locally. QualityCore resources may be used. CRs may be administered
at a different time than the required multiple-choice sessions.
Local districts and schools will determine how to incorporate the
CRs into a students final course grade. KDE will be monitoring
inclusion of CRs in its annual EOC survey. The Kentucky Board of
Education may decide in the future to develop regulatory language
to require the inclusion of CRs.
Slide 6
KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013 6 6.Agreements with ACT, Inc. and NCS
Pearson, Inc. to provide Kentucky assessments are through 2017
spring testing. KDE is monitoring the development of new
assessments; staff participates with the PARCC consortium. Kentucky
schools may be asked to field test by new tests. KDE, at this time,
has NOT committed to use any specific future assessment (i.e.,
PARCC, SBAC, ACT Aspire, DLM, NCSC).

the focus of schools, districts and the state KDE:OAA:DSR:

Continues to be a critical issue in Kentucky and nationally. o
Loss of certification for Kentucky educators emphasizes the
seriousness of the issue. OAA implements recommendations from
Kentuckys security audit. o A Student Honor Code statement has been
added to 2013 Student Response Booklets. 9 KDE:OAA:DSR:

Get the facts straight. Record the date and time of the
incident. List all involved (i.e., staff, volunteers, students).
Identify content area and test parts impacted. Identify specific
content question(s), if applicable. Record what you learn. Report
the incident. 15 KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013

Slide 18
The authoritative source of student data in Kentucky is the
state student data system, Infinite Campus (IC). Data are
downloaded from IC for vendors and to populate internal
applications (i.e., SDRR). Accountability requests made to OAA are
cross- checked with Infinite Campus. KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013 18
Slide 19
Keys to Improved Data Matching Correct entry of student
information in IC is critical (name, date of birth and SSID).
Consistently use the students name as it appears in IC on all
testing records. State-testing programs are provided SSIDs.

KDE/OAA Student Data Review and Reporting (SDRR) Application,
organized by test, has two critical data accuracy functions:
1.Rosters Required by regulation Testing information for some tests
Record of accountability for all grades 3-12 (Grade 9 is needed for
PLAN and grade 12 is needed for College/Career Readiness
reporting.) 2.Data Review (cleanup before reporting) KDE:OAA:DSR:

A1 means a school under administrative control of a principal
and eligible to establish a school-based decision-making council.
A1 school is not an alternative program operated by, or as a part
of, another school. Alternative program means all other education
programs not classified as A1. KDE:OAA:DSR: 1/28/2013 24

School and districts may review all available student
information. OAA encourages focus on these priorities. Step 1
Accountability (Priority One) Confirm your 100 day students that
will contribute to your district or school accountability. Indicate
any non-100 day students that should be removed from your
accountability. Step 2 Demographics (Priority Two) Check
free-reduced lunch and students with disability status (IEP), since
these have potential to change over time. Confirm ethnicity and
race categories. KDE:OAA:DSR-1/24/13 29
