Display Features

Navigation and configuration features are shown in figure 1 and described in this subsection.

Online Testing Progress Report with the Export and Customize buttons indicated.

Figure 1. Sample School Plan and Manage Testing Report—Initial ELPAC

  • Navigation Tools:
    • By default, 50 student records can be displayed on the screen at a time. Navigation buttons are displayed at the bottom of the report to enable navigation through all the retrieved records.
    • By default, the table displays 23 columns of available data. To view all of the available data—and depending on the user’s monitor resolution—there might be a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the report. Table 1 identifies all of the columns present in a report and provides a description of each one. Table 2 provides a definition for each test status (listed in the Status column).
  • Export List—The [Export] button, which appears over the top-left corner of the table and is indicated in figure 1, provides a drop-down list that allows a user to download the on-screen report as either a spreadsheet or CSV file in Excel.
  • Customize—Show or hide columns or customize the display in the table by selecting the [Customize] button in the top-right corner of the table (figure 1).
    • When this icon is selected, a panel opens that shows a list of the columns in the table on one side and a list of visual customization options shows on the other (figure 2).

      Panel with a list of columns to customize on the left and display option drop-down lists on the right.

      Figure 2. Column and display customization panel

    • Uncheck the box next to the column name to hide it. This will remove the column from view.
    • Select an option from a drop-down list on the right to customize a feature such as text size.
    • Select the [Apply Changes] button to apply any customizations (figure 2). To remove the panel from view, click or select blank space or another object on the screen.

  • General Tools—Reports also provide access to the Help and Account tools. For information on the functions of each of these tools, refer to Header with General Tools.

Column Definitions

Possible column headings for Plan and Manage Testing (basic and advanced), Search by SSID, and Progress Summary reports are shown in table 1. These are the same for both on-screen and spreadsheet reports.

Table 1. Online Testing Progress Report Column Attribute Definitions

Column Description

Name

A student’s preferred name (last name, first name) as listed in CALPADS

SSID

The student’s unique California SSID

District Name

The LEA in which a student’s school is located (An NPS is listed under all parent LEAs.)

Enrolled Grade

The grade level in which a student is enrolled

Blocked Subjects

The content area or domain in which the student is blocked from taking assessments

  • This field is populated with the restricted content area or domain. (For example, “Science” shows for a student in high school who has taken a science assessment in a prior year.)
  • CAASPP students assigned the PGE or NTE condition code in a summative assessment
  • Initial ELPAC students having a domain exemption
  • Summative ELPAC students having a domain exemption

School Name

The school in which a student is currently enrolled

Current ELAS

Indicates whether the student is an EL

  • This field is populated as EL, EO, IFEP, RFEP, or TBD.

Test

Test name for a student record showing the assessment or domain opportunity

  • For the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments, there will be a CAT or PT test opportunity.
  • For the Initial ELPAC or Summative ELPAC, there will be a Listening, Reading, Speaking, or Writing domain opportunity and a corresponding DEI opportunity, if applicable.

Presentation

The presentation setting that was assigned to the student (English, Spanish, or braille for CAASPP; and English or braille for the Initial ELPAC or Summative ELPAC)

Opportunity

The opportunity number for a specific student record

  • For the current testing administration, one opportunity is available per student per content area or domain-level assessment for the following assessments:
    • Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for ELA and mathematics
    • CAST
    • CAAs for ELA and mathematics
    • CAA for Science
    • CSA
    • Initial ELPAC
    • Summative ELPAC
    • Initial Alternate ELPAC
    • Summative Alternate ELPAC
  • Three opportunities are available for each ICA.
  • Ninety-nine opportunities (that is, unlimited) are available for the IABs, CAST Interim Assessments and ELPAC Interim Assessments.

TA Name

The TA or TE who created the session in which the student is currently testing (or in which the student completed the assessment)

Session ID

The session ID to which the assessment is linked

Status

The status for that specific opportunity (Refer to table 2 for test status definitions.)

Results ID

The unique identifier linked to the student’s results for that specific opportunity

  • This information is used for results processing and is internal to the test provider.

Restarts

The total number of times a student has resumed an opportunity (For example, if an assessment has been paused three times and the student has resumed the opportunity after each pause, this column will show three “Restarts.”)

  • This includes Restarts within Grace Period—refer to the next row.

Restarts within Grace Period

The total number of times a student has resumed an opportunity within 20 minutes after an assessment was paused (For example, if an assessment has been paused three times and the student resumed the opportunity within 20 minutes of two pauses but 35 minutes after the third pause, then this column will show two Restarts within Grace Period. This column does not apply to PTs or the alternate assessments.)

  • A student has an idle period of 30 minutes before the assessment is paused automatically by the TDS. An assessment paused for more than 20 minutes will expire the session, and the student will not be able to review any previous answers.
  • Requests to reopen the assessment after it has been paused for longer than 20 minutes (Grace Period Extension) must be filed in STAIRS.

Date Started

The date when the first test item was presented to the student for that opportunity

Date Completed

The date when the student submitted the assessment for scoring

Last Activity

The date of the last activity for that opportunity or record

  • A “completed” assessment can still have activity as it is processed for reporting.

Expiration Date

The date the test opportunity expired (This field is blank if the assessment has not expired.)

Force Complete Date

  • CAASPP: Either the day after the final day of the selected testing window or the day after the statewide testing window has closed, an assessment is force-completed, which is when one or more portions of the assessment that had not been logged on to by the student is sent, instead, to the system for scoring. This is applicable to multipart assessments such as the Smarter Balanced for ELA or mathematics and the CAA for Science.
  • ELPAC: The day after the statewide testing window has closed, an assessment is force-completed, which is when one or more domains of the assessment that had not been logged on to by the student or kindergarten through grade two Writing domain Answer Book was never submitted, the assessment is sent, instead, to the system for scoring.

Remote Session

Indicates that the assessment was administered remotely (This field is populated as a Y/N value.)

Secure Browser

Indicates whether the assessment was taken using the secure browser or the web-based Student Testing Interface (This field is populated as a Y/N/Partial value, where “Partial” indicates that the student took part of an assessment using the secure browser and part of an assessment using the web-based student testing interface.)

During high-volume testing, this value may take an extended amount of time before it updates from “N” to “Y” for students who tested using a secure browser.

Status Definitions

Table 2 defines the possible values in the Status column of Plan and Manage Testing (basic and advanced), Search by SSID, and Progress Summary reports.

Table 2. Test Status Definitions

Status Definitions

Approved

The TA or TE has approved the student for the session, but the student has not yet started or resumed the assessment.

[blank]

The student has not begun this assessment.

Completed

The student has submitted the assessment for scoring. No additional action can be taken by the student. If the assessment is one that requires hand scoring, such as the Initial ELPAC or an interim assessment, it means that hand scoring is either not started or is in progress.

Denied

The TA or TE denied the student entry into the session. If the student attempts to enter the session again, this status will change to “Pending” until the TA or TE approves or denies the student.

Expired

The student’s opportunity has not been completed and cannot be resumed because the test opportunity has expired.

  • CAASPP Smarter Balanced for ELA and mathematics PTs generally expire after 15 calendar days; non-PTs expire after 45 calendar days.
  • For CAST, the CAAs, and the CSA, assessments expire after 45 calendar days.
  • For the Summative ELPAC, the test opportunities for Listening and Reading expire after 45 calendar days and for Speaking and Writing, after 20 calendar days.
  • For the Initial ELPAC, test opportunities expire after 30 calendar days for all domains.
  • For the Initial Alternate ELPAC, test opportunities expire 30 days after start.
  • For the Summative Alternate ELPAC, test opportunities expire at the end of the testing window.

Handscoring

Hand scoring is either not started or in progress.

Invalidated

The CAASPP test result has been invalidated; for example, if an unlisted resource changes the construct being measured, an assessment may be invalidated. (This Appeal type does not apply to ELPAC.)

Paused

The student’s assessment is currently paused. The following scenarios will result in a paused status:

  • The student pauses the assessment by selecting the [Pause] button.
  • The student has been idle for longer than 30 minutes, and then the system pauses the assessment.
  • The TA or TE pauses the student’s assessment.
  • The TA or TE stops the session.
  • A technical problem with the student’s device or secure browser results in a loss of connectivity to the TDS.

The time listed with this status indicates how long the student’s assessment has been in the “Paused” status.

Pending

The student is awaiting TA or TE approval for a new test opportunity.

  • For CAASPP in the current test administration, one opportunity is available per student per assessment for the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for ELA and mathematics, CAST, and the CAAs for ELA and mathematics.
  • Each embedded PT administered as part of the CAA for Science is one opportunity, for a total of three.
  • Three opportunities are available for each ICA.
  • Each ELPAC domain that is administered online is its own opportunity, with a maximum total of four opportunities.
  • Ninety-nine opportunities (that is, unlimited) are available for the IABs and the interim assessments for CAST and ELPAC.

Reported

The student’s score for the completed assessment in the TDS has passed the quality assurance review and has been submitted to CERS. Some items must be hand scored before they appear in CERS.

Review

The student has answered all test items and is currently reviewing the answers before submitting the assessment. (An assessment with a “Review” status is not considered complete.)

Scored

The TDS has processed the student’s responses to items—either machine-scored or hand scored—on the assessment.

Started

The student has started the assessment and is actively testing.

Submitted

The assessment has been submitted for quality assurance review and validation before scores can be released. A quality assurance engine examines submitted assessments for a number of statistical elements before they are reported, including reviews for scoring errors. Results with this status are not yet available to be viewed.

Suspended

The student is awaiting TA or TE approval to resume a test opportunity.
