Summative ELPAC: Grades Three Through Twelve

Resources for Remote Testing for Grades Three Through Twelve

The PFA and DFAs are available to better support consistent remote administration of ELPAC for grades three through twelve. The TE should become familiar with the remote administration guidelines provided in the PFA ahead of testing and must use the appropriate grade-span DFA for the specific domain administration instructions. Refer to the Access Remote Test Administration Resources section for details.

Students Control the Secure Browser

For remote administration of the Summative ELPAC Listening, Reading, and Writing domains, students in grades three through twelve will log on to the secure browser for testing. The assessment can be completed in an individual or multiple-student session.

Take the following steps to manage a remote session where one or more students will run the secure browser on their device(s):

  1. Access a copy of the appropriate grade-span DFA for grades three through twelve in TOMS.
  2. Follow the instructions in the How to Start a Remote Test Session Grades 3–12 document for the TE and student logon process.
  3. Monitor the progress of each student through the assessment using the Test Administrator Interface.
  4. Monitor each student by watching the video feed, being alert for others in the room providing answers or an indication that a student might be using a device, such as a cell phone, out of sight of the web camera.
  5. At the end of the test session, confirm that each student has submitted or paused the assessment.
  6. Stop the session in the Test Administrator Interface by selecting the [Stop Session] stop sign icon.
  7. Log off the Test Administrator Interface.

TE Controls the Web-based Student Testing Interface for the Speaking Domain

The Speaking domain should be administered one-on-one. Multiple students cannot be tested during this type of session.

Take the following steps to manage a remote session where the web-based Student Testing Interface will be run on the TE’s device:

  1. Access a copy of the appropriate grade-span DFA for grades three through twelve in TOMS, which includes additional information for remote administration.
  2. Follow the instructions in the How to Start a Remote Test Session Grades 3–12 document for the TE and student logon process.
  3. Administer the Speaking questions according to the scripts in the DFAs. Record the student’s scores on the Student Score Sheet at the end of the DFA or directly in the DEI.
  4. At the end of the test session, select the [End Test] button to submit the assessment.
  5. Log off the web-based Student Testing Interface.
  6. Stop the session in the Test Administrator Interface by selecting the [Stop Session] stop sign icon.
  7. Log off the Test Administrator Interface.
  8. Log on to the DEI and enter the scores for the Speaking domain immediately after testing if the scores were noted on the score sheet during the live assessment.
