Here at DEED, we appreciate the time and effort that go into performing these duties.  \nTest Administrators, District and Building Test Coordinators, technology staff, and all other staff involved in assessments are a crucial part of a successful implementation of all statewide assessments. It is only through your hard work and dedication that we are able to produce valid and reliable statewide assessment results. These results inform stakeholders at all levels to make decisions that improve the learning of students all over the state of Alaska.  \nWe appreciate the outstanding work of all Alaska’s educators and wish to extend our continued support and gratitude.  \nSincerely,  \nDEED Assessments Team  \nTable of Contents  \nPart 1—General Information  1  \nAbout Alaska System of Academic Readiness Assessments  1  \nWho Should Read This Manual?  1  \nFamiliarize Yourself with AK STAR  1  \nAK STAR Administration Key Dates in 2024  2  \nPart 2—Test Administrator Responsibilities  3  \nTesting Schedules  3  \nAssessment Administration  4  \nMaintaining Security of Materials and the Testing Room  5  \nProblem Item Reporting  5  \nTechnology Challenges During the Assessment  6  \nReturning Assessment Materials to the Building Test Coordinator  6  \nPart 3—Student Supports  7  \nUniversal Tools  7  \nCalculator Use for the AK STAR Mathematics Assessment  8  \nOverview of Accommodations  10  \nPart 4—Administering Accommodated Paper Forms: Print on Demand & Braille  12  \nTest Administrator Responsibilities  12  \nBraille Assessments  12  \nTranscribing Paper Accommodated Assessments  12  \nTest Timing—Print on Demand  13  \nPart 5—Scripts  15  \nScript to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment  15  \nHow to Read Scripts for AK STAR Assessments  16  \nScript to Students: English Language Arts, Grades 3–9  17  \nScript to Students: Mathematics, Grades 3–9  23  \nPart 6—Scripts: Print on Demand (POD)  29  \nScript to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment  29  \nHow to Read POD Scripts for AK STAR Assessments  30  \nScript to Students: Print on Demand English Language Arts, Grades 3–9  31  \nScript to Students: Print on Demand Mathematics, Grades 3–9  33  \nAppendix A—Assessment Log & Irregularity Report  37  \nAssessment Log  38  \nAppendix B—Troubleshooting Common Errors  39  \nAppendix C—The Scribe Accommodation  40  \nQualifications for the Scribe  40  \nProcess for Scribe Accommodation  40  \nAdditional Parameters  40  \nAK STAR Test Administration Directions | 2024  \nPart 1—General Information  \nAbout Alaska System of Academic Readiness Assessments  \nThe purpose of the Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) assessments is to provide information on student learning strengths and needs as well as student progress in mastering college and career-ready skills based on the Alaska English/Language Arts and Mathematics Standards.
