The readable script can be found in bold text after the word “SAY.” When asked, you should answer questions raised by students but should never help the class or individual students with specific test items. No test items can be read to any student for any content area, unless the student is assigned a read-aloud non-embedded designated support or accommodation as listed in the California Assessment Accessibility Resources Matrix. The SAY statements should be read exactly as they are written, using a natural tone and manner (except for students assigned the simplified test directions non-embedded designated support). If you make a mistake in reading a direction, you should stop and say,“I made a mistake. Listen again.” Then the direction should be reread.  \nIf the class is resuming an assessment and you are sure that all students are able to log on without hearing the logon directions again, you may skip the italicized portions of the directions.  \nYou should try to maintain a natural classroom atmosphere during the test administration. Before each assessment begins, you should encourage students to do their best.  \nTest Administrator Interface Logon Instructions  \nTest Administrator  \n1. Navigate to the CAASPP & ELPAC Website on a web browser.  \n2. Select the [Administer a Test Session] button.  \n3. Select the [Test Administrator Interface] button.  \n4. Log on to the Test Administrator Interface using your Test Operations Management (TOMS) sign-in credentials.  \n5. Once you have logged on to the Test Administrator Interface, the [Active Sessions] tab in the Test Administration Dashboard will appear. Start a new session by selecting either the [Start an In-person Session] button or [Start a Remote Session] button.  \n6. Tojoin a previously scheduled session, select the session’s [Join] button in the Action column of the Active Sessions table.  \n7. If you are associated with multiple schools, an Important! message appears when you log on. Select the appropriate school from the drop-down list in this message and select the [Go] button. You may only select one school or district at a time. Students who have the session ID and are enrolled in a different school than the one you selected will also be able to test in the same test session as students in other schools, if you have roles in the schools in which students are enrolled. You will only be able to administer tests available for the selected school or district. Regardless of their test site, students who are testing should be supervised at all times.  \n8. The Operational Test Selection screen color-codes assessments and groups them into various categories. A test group, such as the brown “California Science Test (CAST),”may include one or more subgroups. All test groups and subgroups appear collapsed by default.  \n9. To select an assessment or assessments for the session, first select the test name and then mark the checkbox for each assessment to be included in the session.  \n10. Because you are administering a summative assessment, there will be a warning letting you know that a summative assessment is about to be administered. If you select [OK], you can either continue with the test administration or exit from the Test Administrator Interface if you selected a summative assessment unintentionally.  \n11. Either use the filtering feature to open specific grade-level or content-area assessments; or, to start the assessment, select the [Start Operational Session] button. Take the following steps to use the filtering feature:  \na. Select the [Add Filter] button [] to access the filter panel.  \nb. Expand the available filter categories by selecting a [Plus] plus-si","cbCaipwdOMgL2MQE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipwdOMgL2MQE","pdf",150407,11,"English","# Test administration script overview\n## Required “SAY” statements and administration rules\n# Test Administrator Interface logon instructions\n## Navigate to CAASPP & ELPAC and start or join sessions\n## Select operational test sessions and begin the assessment\n# During the test session\n## Student logon and session ID instructions\n## Student directions, rules, and pause/review procedures","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the administration script for the CAST online test?\",\"answer\":\"It ensures all students are tested under the same conditions by requiring administrators to follow the designated script for the assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the Test Administrator start a new operational test session?\",\"answer\":\"Log on to the Test Administrator Interface, then start a new session using either “Start an In-person Session” or “Start a Remote Session,” and select the required assessments for the session.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens if a student pauses the test for more than 20 minutes?\",\"answer\":\"The student will not be able to go back and change answers, including questions they marked for review.\"}]","ABRIDGED California Science Test - Administering an Online Test Session | PDF",1790992401,28]
