WISEdata• A snapshot was taken over the weekend of January 14-15 for “3rd
Friday in September” accountability purposes.
• An additional snapshot will be taken in late May for report cards.
• Snapshots can be viewed in WISEdash under the ‘Advanced Analysis’
tab. This data can help your district detect and rectify any data quality
issues.
• In WISEdash Portal, the Details link will allow you to dig into Errors
and Warnings. On these screens you can determine when your SIS is
pushing to WISEdata, and what WISEdata thinks the value should be.

Forward: Updates• Test Administration Manual Update
Please note that we have made a small change on the test administration script located in the Test Administration
Manual. No content has been changed, just the arrangement of a small section. This change applies only to pages 21 and
22. The most updated version of the manual is now available on our website and should be used for testing.
• Listening Scripts Accommodation
We have been getting many requests for the listening scripts accommodation. This accommodation will only be
approved a for very few number of students across the state. As a reminder, listening scripts may be provided to test
administrators working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing that are unable to access the embedded listening
passages via the embedded audio through VSL or closed captioning. The Test Examiner should read the passages aloud
to the student, allowing the student access to view the Test Examiner's face while reading.
• Text Dependent Analysis Checklist
It is important to note that the TDA checklist included in the TDA Sampler will not be available during test
administration. It is important that students review and prepare with this question type in the OTTs and the TDA
sampler ahead of time.

Aspire : Test preparation tasks
• DPI loaded student information into the Aspire portal on March 13.
• During March 14-24, test coordinators:1. Confirm that student information is correct and make updates as necessary.
2. Enter Personal Needs Profiles (PNPs). Note: PNPs entered last year should remain in the system and should not need to be entered again if there is no change in students’ accessibility needs.
3. Create paper test sessions for students using Braille, large print, or ASL. Note: Once a paper test session is created, the paper materials orders will be automatically sent to DPI for approval through the portal.

ACCESS for ELLs• WIDA is continuously updating their information regarding the impacts of
last summer’s Standard Setting on this year’s ACCESS for ELLs scores.
○ https://www.wida.us/proficiency
• More rigorous academic content standards means greater linguistic demands, which means the bar for English proficiency is higher.
• ELP growth can’t be measured from last year. Scale Score growth still can be.
• Overall, students will likely show minimal change from last year’s ELP scores.
