Scheduling
Important Reminders:
● For the CATs and PTs, students may be best served by sequential, uninterrupted time that may exceed the time in a student’s schedule.
● Minimize time between the beginning and completing each test within a content area.

Suggestions for Scheduling, Breaks and Pause Rules
If scheduling the a test session for more than 1 hour:
● Ideally no longer than 2 hours ○ ALL students should have a break○ ALL students must pause the test.
■ If the test is paused for more than 20 minutes, the student will not be able to go back to the items on the previous pages for Math and ELA CAT.
■ No pause rules for the Math/ELA PTs and CAST.■ Once Part 1 is completed in a PT the student can not return to review or revise.

● English Dictionary (W)- Can be used during the second part of the performance task, known as the full write portion for looking up definitions of unknown words.
● English Glossary-to look up the definitions of pre-selected words in the answer portion.
● Expandable Items- to make a reading pane or the question section bigger, you may expand either side so that it takes up the entire page.
● Global Notes (W)- to take notes on any of the questions or passages you may be working on during the English language arts performance task.
● Highlighter- to highlight words or sentences that you want to remember in order to answer questions.
● Line Reader- to highlight each line as you read it, helping to not lose your place.● Strikethrough- to cross out answer options you know for sure are not correct

DLI Supports
47
Recommended Supports:
In addition to the recommended Embedded Universal Tools Supports suggested for ELs, Stacked Translations and Translated Test Directions could be used for the Math and Science Assessments only if, the student would benefit from reading the information in Spanish.
For example, for an English-dominant DLI student, these supports may not be beneficial and could hinder the student by adding to the cognitive load (having to process items in two languages).
Stacked Translations (Spanish):This resource is for students whose primary language is not English and/or who use dual language supports in the classroom. For these students, use of the stacked (dual language) translation may be appropriate.

Purpose of the CAAs
● To measure what students know and can do.● To help identify and address gaps in knowledge or skills so students
can receive the support they need.
Eligible Students for CAAsOnly eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. Any student identified for alternate testing takes the alternate version of all tests. Individualized education program (IEP) teams “shall determine when a child with the most significant cognitive disability shall participate in an alternate assessment aligned with the alternate academic achievement standards.” (Title 1, Part A, Subpart 1, Sec. 1111(b)(2)(D)(ii)(I)—Every Student Succeeds Act, 2015)

1 Percent Threshold on Alternate Assessments
● Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) regulations established a 1% threshold, statewide, on the number of students taking alternate assessments.
● Overall, the intent of the regulations is to help address concerns about disproportionality related to potentially over identifying students for alternate assessments.
● LEAs are required to notify CDE if they believe that they will exceed 1% of its total assessed student population taking alternate assessments and to provide justification for surpassing that threshold.
