KIPP Texas Academic Achievement Assessment Department Values

Vision: Together with our families and communities, we create equitable, joyful, and academically excellent schools that prepare our students to pursue any path they choose — college, career, and beyond — so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world. �

Mission: Behind every promise is a decision, behind every decision is data, and behind the data are purposeful assessments for all students. As we know that data matters most, we strategically plan our assessments and provide meaningful ways for data collection. We must use data to deliver on our promise to every student so their story at KIPP leads to success beyond it.

​

Our WHY:

• Create an equitable atmosphere for all students during assessments
• Results are a true representation of all students abilities
• Data will be used to make pertinent decisions for all educational stakeholders

• The ACT test is divided into four separately-timed sections, English, math, reading, and science, and one optional writing section that does not contribute to the composite ACT score.

• ACT test scores range from 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score. Each section of the ACT is scored separately. One point is awarded for each correct answer, and you don’t lose points for wrong answers or unanswered questions. Once the entire test is scored, each raw score is converted to a scaled score. Finally, the four scaled scores are averaged to create a composite score. The Writing Test, if you choose to take it, is graded based on four separate domains: ideas and analysis, development and support, organization, and language use and conventions. Each area is assigned a score ranging from one to six, with six being the highest possible score. The Writing score is not counted in the final ACT composite score.

Testing Environment

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Exam Environment

To ensure an effective and secure administration, testing rooms must meet these requirements:

​

• Cover or remove material that may give students an unfair advantage (charts, strategy maps, aids for test taking, problem solving, test topics, etc.)
• Ask the building’s administration to turn off audible signals that normally sound at the beginning and end of classes (quiet testing zones)
• Ensure that announcements are not made on the public address system during test sessions.
• Post signs outside the test rooms to warn others that testing is in progress and that quiet is required.
• Select locations with optimal access to power and strong internet with enough bandwidth to support the expected number of test takers
• Provide power strips, surge protectors, and extension cords as devices may power down during administration (required for spaces more than 3 hours)
• Testing locations must be located away from noisy areas and distracting activities
• Testing locations must be near restrooms for use during breaks
• Testing locations must be near the help room for students who need technical support during testing.
• Testing locations must have proper lighting and ventilation
• Have a whiteboard space available to write or display Wi-Fi sign-in information and other test day instructions for students e.g., posting the START and STOP times only
• Proper seating that follows the seating requirements (3 ft from other examinees- front/back and side/side)�

​

​

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Exam Rooms (Large Spaces)

Recommendations if you must test a large number of examinees in a large space (e.g., a gymnasium or assembly hall):

• Divide it into sections.
• Assign examinees, materials, and staff to each section like you would an individual test room.
• This makes check-in, handling materials, and monitoring testing more manageable. Example: Rows 1–4 are “Section A” and rows 5–8 are “Section B,” or the northeast quadrant is “Section 1” and the northwest quadrant is “Section 2.” Testing in a large room requires additional planning, as well as special attention to documentation.

​

• Ensure that room setup and seating arrangements meet all requirements.
• Ensure that each section follows the policies for number of staff required e.g., proctors and hall monitors.
• Ensure that the space has optimal access to power and strong internet connection
• Develop a roster for each section by using the TCM to assign students to rooms before test day. Proctors must have a copy of their section’s roster to verify ID, seating assignments, and computer distribution (as needed).

​

​

​

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Specialized Environments

Accommodations and Supports:

• Students testing with accommodations must test in a separate room if:
• Different timing code
• Small Groups (no more than 15 examinees)
• One-on-One administration (possess their own space-NO exceptions)
• Students with the same accommodations can be grouped together in the same room.
• Recommendation is no more than 20 examinees in one room for varied accommodations

​

Help Room:

• Designated room that students can utilize for technical support from the technology monitor
• Ensure there are adequate desks or tables, outlets, and that it’s near the testing rooms
• Space should located near the testing rooms for student access

​

​

*Utilize the TCM to assign students to rooms prior to test day

​

​

​

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Seating Arrangement

• Facing same direction

​

• Seating is spaced 3 feet apart front/back and side/side from other examinees

​

• Seated in straight rows and columns �(no stadium style seating)

​

• Seated so test administrators can circulate throughout the testing environment

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Seating Arrangement (Cont.)

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Seating Requirements

Follow these seating requirements to prevent security problems and ensure student comfort:

​

• Proctors will assign seats (REQUIRED), and students who arrive together should be seated separately
• Chairs have backs
• Students are seated so they can’t easily see each other’s screens
• You have unimpeded access to every student and can easily see them
• Students are separated by at least 3 feet on the right and left (measured from center of desk) to allow for the proctor’s freedom of movement during active monitoring and to reduce distractions
• Seating is arranged to provide optimal access to electricity without overloading outlets or creating unsafe conditions. Students with more than 3 hours of testing time should be seated closest to power outlets
• Tables that seat more than 1 student have enough space for students to sit 3 feet apart
• Students have a large, smooth writing surface, such as a desk or table
• Tablet-arm chairs must have a minimum writing surface of 12 × 15 inches (30 × 38 centimeters)
• Students must not be seated around rectangular tables or at round tables, study carrels, seats with lapboards, language laboratory booths, or tables with partitions or dividers. (Partitions and dividers are allowed only if testing in a computer lab and they are low enough so that proctors can see students’ testing devices.) �

​

​

KIPP TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Exam Spaces Recap

Recommendations:

​

• Using single-level classrooms
• Avoiding multiple-level seating (it makes it easier to see another examinee's test)
• Seating 20 to 30 examinees in a room for standard time administrations (No more than 100 examinees in a room
• Proper seating that follows seating requirements despite the room size or desk/table (3 ft from other examinees- front/back and side/side)
• Cover or remove material that may give students an unfair advantage (charts, strategy maps, aids for test taking, problem solving, test topics, etc.)
• Ensure that examinees will be able to hear the proctors without difficulty
• Examinees testing with extended time must be tested in a separate room from examinees testing with standard time.
• Arrange the room so that: ~ The proctor will be facing the examinees during testing. ~ Testing staff can freely circulate the room and have a clear view of all examinees and materials. ~ Seating minimizes the possibility of prohibited behavior.
• Utilize the TCM to assign students to rooms before test day
