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 2025  2  \nPart 2—Student Readiness  3  \nStudent Tutorial  3  \nAK STAR Practice Tests  3  \nPart 3—Test Administrator Responsibilities  4  \nTesting Schedules  4  \nAssessment Administration  5  \nMaintaining Security of Materials and the Testing Room  6  \nProblem Item Reporting  6  \nTechnology Challenges During the Assessment  7  \nReturning Assessment Materials to the Building Test Coordinator  7  \nPart 4—Student Supports  8  \nUniversal Tools  8  \nCalculator Use for the AK STAR Mathematics Assessment  9  \nOverview of Accommodations  11  \nPart 5—Administering Accommodated Paper Forms: Print on Demand & Braille  13  \nTest Administrator Responsibilities  13  \nBraille Assessments  13  \nTranscribing Paper Accommodated Assessments  13  \nTest Timing—Print on Demand  14  \nPart 6—Scripts  16  \nScript to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment  16  \nScript to Students: Assisting Students Who Are Struggling to Move Forward  17  \nHow to Read Scripts for AK STAR Assessments  18  \nScript to Students: English Language Arts, Grades 3–9  19  \nScript to Students: Mathematics, Grades 3–9  25  \nPart 7—Scripts: Print on Demand (POD)  32  \nScript to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment  32  \nHow to Read POD Scripts for AK STAR Assessments  33  \nScript to Students: Print on Demand English Language Arts, Grades 3–9  34  \nScript to Students: Print on Demand Mathematics, Grades 3–9  36  \nAppendix A—Assessment Log & Irregularity Report  40  \nAssessment Log  41  \nAppendix B—Troubleshooting Common Errors  42  \nAppendix C—The Scribe Accommodation  43  \nQualifications for the Scribe  43  \nProcess for Scribe Accommodation  43  \nAdditional Parameters  44  \nAppendix D—Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  45  \nAK STAR Test Administration Directions | 2025  \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 ","cbCaijXTZF71nl6p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijXTZF71nl6p","pdf",1529656,52,"English","# Part 1—General information\n## About Alaska System of Academic Readiness Assessments\n## Who Should Read This Manual?\n## Familiarize Yourself with AK STAR\n## AK STAR Administration Key Dates in 2025\n# Part 2—Student Readiness\n## Student Tutorial\n## AK STAR Practice Tests\n# Part 3—Test Administrator Responsibilities\n## Testing Schedules\n## Assessment Administration\n## Maintaining Security of Materials and the Testing Room\n## Problem Item Reporting\n## Technology Challenges During the Assessment\n## Returning Assessment Materials to the Building Test Coordinator\n# Part 4—Student Supports\n## Universal Tools\n## Calculator Use for the AK STAR Mathematics Assessment\n## Overview of Accommodations\n# Part 5—Administering Accommodated Paper Forms: Print on Demand & Braille\n## Test Administrator Responsibilities\n## Braille Assessments\n## Transcribing Paper Accommodated Assessments\n## Test Timing—Print on Demand\n# Part 6—Scripts\n## Script to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment\n## Script to Students: Assisting Students Who Are Struggling to Move Forward\n## How to Read Scripts for AK STAR Assessments\n## Script to Students: English Language Arts, Grades 3–9\n## Script to Students: Mathematics, Grades 3–9\n# Part 7—Scripts: Print on Demand (POD)\n## Script to Students: Providing Assistance During the Assessment\n## How to Read POD Scripts for AK STAR Assessments\n## Script to Students: Print on Demand English Language Arts, Grades 3–9\n## Script to Students: Print on Demand Mathematics, Grades 3–9\n# Appendix A—Assessment Log & Irregularity Report\n## Assessment Log\n# Appendix B—Troubleshooting Common Errors\n## \n# Appendix C—The Scribe Accommodation\n## Qualifications for the Scribe\n## Process for Scribe Accommodation\n## Additional Parameters\n# Appendix D—Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\n##","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the AK STAR assessments for grades 3–9?\",\"answer\":\"AK STAR assessments provide information on student learning strengths and needs and student progress toward college and career-ready skills based on Alaska English/Language Arts and Mathematics Standards.
