administer the SmarterBalanced or CAST to Spanish-speaking ELs.  \n# Establishing Appropriate Testing Conditions\n\nTest site coordinators,test administrators,and test examiners should work together to determine the most appropriatetesting option(s)and testing environment based on the number of devices available,the number of students in eachtested grade level or grade band,and the estimated time needed to complete each test.For the Smarter Balancedassessments,CAST,and CSA,testing students in classroom-sized groups is preferable;the CAA is delivered one-on-one.Establishing classroom-sized groups reduces test fear and anxiety for the students and facilitates monitoring andcontrol for the test administrator.However,this also includes setting up testing rooms for students whose IEPs orSection 504 plans specify universal tools,designated supports,accommodations,or any combination of these thatnecessitate testing the students in a separate setting (that is,reading test questions aloud,accounting for extendedtesting time,providing additional breaks,and so forth).  \nThe test administration should be conducted in a secure environment (refer to the subsection Securitv of the TestEnvironment(/caaspp-otam/test-security/security-of-the-test-environment/)).  \nEstablish procedures to maintain a quiet testing environment throughout the test session,recognizing that somestudents willfinish more quickly than others.If students are allowed to leave the testing room when they finish,explain the procedures for leaving without disrupting others and where they are expected to report once they leave.If students are expected to remain in the testing room until the end of the session,instruct them on what activitiesthey may engage in after they finish the test.The activity should not be related to the test being given(e.g.,work onassignments for unrelated subjects or read a book).Access to a student's device after they have completed testingshould be monitored strictly for types of activities that may be done without violating the security of the tests if otherstudents in the room are still testing.  \n# Additional Required Resources\n\nSmarter Balanced for ELA  \nDuring administration of the Smarter Balanced for ELA,students may have access to and use of the followingadditional required resources for CAT items:  \n·Headphones are required for the listening portion of the ELA assessment and for students requiring text-to-speech.  \n·Scratch paper should be provided for notetaking or creating graphic organizers,if necessary.Only plain,unlined paper,lined paper,or a whiteboard with a marker is appropriate for ELA.  \nDuring administration of the Smarter Balanced for ELA,students may have access to and use of the followingadditional required resources for PTs:  \n·Headphones are required for some PTs and for students requiring text-to-speech.  \n·Scratch paper should be provided for notetaking if necessary.Only plain,unlined paper,lined paper,or awhiteboard with a marker is appropriate for ELA.  \n·As long as the construct being measured is not impacted,assistive technology devices,including low-techassistive technology(colored
