Guidelines for Administration Time

Guidelines for Administration Time (continued)
• Provide all students with the entire amount of Unit Testing Time.
• Once the Unit Testing Time has elapsed, the unit must end.• A student may be allowed an extended time
accommodations only if listed in his or her IEP, 504 Plan, or ESL.
• If students finish early, they must log out of the test and turn in their authorization ticket and scratch paper. At this time, they can sit quietly or read a recreational book (subject matter of recreational book must be unrelated to the content being assessed.)

During Testing: Security Breaches
12
Monitoring and Reporting Security Breaches and Testing Irregularities
1. All instances of security breaches and testing irregularities must be reported to the School Test Coordinator, and subsequently, the LEA Test Coordinator, immediately.
2. The Form to Report a Testing Irregularity or Security Breach must be completed within two school days of the incident.
3. And remember, you should be prepared to provide a written statement of the incident to your School Test Coordinator should a security breach or testing irregularity occur.

During Testing: Safety Threats and Severe Weather
16
Safety Threats and Severe WeatherTest Administrators and Proctors must:
1. Note the time of the disruption.2. Secure test materials as specified in your School Security Plan3. Upon return, prepare students for the continuation of the unit.4. Report a Testing Irregularity or Security Breach*.
* Check your state policy in the PARCC Test Coordinator Manual for state-specific procedures for reporting severe weather and safety threats.

Guidelines for Breaks
17
•During a unit, a classroom may take one “stand-and-stretch” break of up to three minutes at the discretion of the Test Administrator. Unit time should be adjusted by no more than three minutes.
As a reminder during these breaks for computer-based testing, it is recommended that visual blocks be applied to the student’s computer screen (e.g., turn off the monitor, tape folders to the screen); do not have students use computer functions to exit and resume the test. Students should not talk, use electronic devices such as cell phones, play games, continue to interact with the test, or engage in activities that may violate the validity of the test.
•During a unit, “stand-and-stretch” breaks may be permitted at the discretion of the Test Administrator.

Grades 3-5 iPads– Most K-6 iPads will be used for testing for the three weeks of
each testing period– The testing device by room sheet explains the specifics– All iPads will be locked down (unusable) during testing hours– iPads must be secured and charging in their regular
rooms each night– We will try to allow use of iPads after testing each day – If locking /charging becomes problematic, we may need
to keep them locked down throughout the three weeks of each testing period
Testing Devices Used

![Page 20: PARCC Test Administrator Training February 2015](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042819/55c69201bb61ebfa728b4588/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Grades 6-8 Laptops/Computer Labs/Chromebooks– All 6-8 laptop carts will be used for testing for the three weeks of
testing (moved between GTMS and elementary schools)– The testing device by room sheet explains the specifics– All laptops, computer labs and chromebooks will be locked down
throughout the three weeks of each testing period– Laptops and chromebooks must be secured and
charging in their carts each night– We will not be able to unlock the laptops, computer lab
machines, or chromebooks during the three weeks of each testing period because it can take many reboots to lock machines down
