Proctors may be LPAC administrators, school counselors, etc. Proctors must have received the TELPAS administration training and signed a test security oath. |  |\n| 2 | Once calibration is completed, collect certificates for raters and verifiers to ensure all have successfully completed their designated training. Remember to collect Basic Training certificates for all new raters (NEW TO DISTRICT or NEW TO TEACHING) . |  |\n| 3 | Collect writing samples from students beginning on February 10. Be sure the writing samples collected meet the requirements as specified in the TELPAS rater manual. Campuses may continue to collect writing samples until the end of the TELPAS testing window if necessary. |  |\n| 4 | Ensure all newly enrolled LEP students are assessed and registered in Pearson Access by sending the TELPAS Student Move form to the Assessment Department every day. |  |\n| 5 | Collect Years-in-U.S.-schools for newly enrolled students and enter this information into the Pearson Access system. |  |\n| 6 | Verify the accuracy of all possible exemptions from TELPAS. Use ARD minutes to obtain this information. Students should never be automatically exempted from all domains of TELPAS. |  |\n| 7 | Make certain all computers and laptops are in good working condition. |  |\n| 8 | Students must have accessed the TELPAS tutorials and are familiar with the online tools PRIOR to the day they are taking the TELPAS Online tests. |  |\n| 9 | Create online test sessions and holistic rating groups starting on February 11. ALL online test sessions must be ready by Wednesday, February 19. |  |\n| 10 | Work with technology support personnel to ensure all sessions have been proctor-cached.\u003Cbr>Proctor cache all sessions no later than Friday, February 21! |  |\n| 11 | Print student tickets and keep these in locked storage until the day of testing. Remember to use the TELPAS Materials Control Form! |  |\n| 12 | Create a map indicating the rooms used for testing with grade level tested, test administrators, relievers and monitors clearly labeled. |  |\n| 13 | Provide appropriate staff (i.e. front office staff, nurse, other campus administrators) a copy of the lists where students will be testing and online test administrator assignments in case of emergencies. |  |\n| 14 | Remember that students, test administrators, monitors, and other staff directly involved in testing are NOT allowed to use ELECTRONIC DEVICES during the online reading test. Have procedures in place for the collection/distribution of cell phones/smartwatches/etc. |  |\n| 15 | Testing signs must be posted on testing rooms to inform visitors and/or staff of testing. On the day of testing remember to provide Test Administrators “Testing-Do Not Disturb” and “No Electronic Devices Allowed” signs to be posted outside each testing room/site. |  |\n\n\n| 16 | What is your campus plan regarding student illness? Does the student go to the nurse or does the nurse go to the student?\u003Cbr>- Ifa student cannot continue testing due to illness, the school nurse must provide documentation to the campus testing coordinator.\u003Cbr>BE SURE TO TRAIN YOUR NURSE ON SPECIAL PROCEDURES DURING TESTING. The nurse should know not to allow the student to discuss the secure content of the test if he/she is still testing. Additionally, the nurse should contact the campus testing coordinator if a student falls ill or is too sick to resume testing. |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 17 | Notify students of their room assignments.
