The Guidance documents provide a streamlined look at the test structure, specifications, the standards or GLEs eligible for assessment, and suggested testing times.Highlights of 2013-2014 changes areMath and ELA measure CCSS rather than GLEs.The iLEAP ELA writing prompt is now scored for Conventions. Rubrics are available at http://www.louisianabelieves.com/resources/library/assessment-guidance-2013-2014. iLEAP and grade 4 LEAP added a new 4-point, extended-response item. As the iLEAP no longer uses ITBS as the NRT portion, there are no time limits for iLEAP. Only suggested times to facilitate planning of schedules.Changes that are evident include: renaming of sessions, iLEAP reading and responding is split into two sessions and is administered on same day as Science multiple-choice session, and ordering of some sessions.

5Science & Social Studies6Louisiana BelievesScience and Social StudiesTask items that were field tested last year are now included Tasks are based on several stimulus materials. Students are asked to synthesize their content knowledge with the information provided to answer multiple-choice items and an extended-response item.

2013-2014 changes involve the replacement of the tasks and/or constructed-response items with Tasks.Tasks include 1-4 stimulus materials, asking students to answer multiple-choice items and respond to an extended-response item. The tasks are aligned to GLEs and the CCSS for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Sample task items are available in PASS (www.louisianapass.org)

10LEAP Phase 1 Testing RemindersItem numbers in Phase 1 for Mathematics do not start at 1.Only answer documents and Rough Draft booklets are used for standard-print materials in Phase 1.Large-print test booklets are combined by content-area pair, and the large-print Writing Rough Draft pages provided with the large-print booklets must be returned with secure materials.Braille test booklets are combined by content-area pair. All large-print and braille responses must be transferred to a scorable answer document according to instructions provided.

11 LEAP Phase 1 Preidentified Answer DocumentsPhase 1 answer documents: All LEAP testers receive one answer document (ELA/Math).A unique spine bar is placed on every document. The label box is preprinted with the following information: first and last name, gender, DOB, bar code, precode number, district and school names and codes, and last four digits of SSN/state ID number.12LEAP Phase 1 Preidentified Answer Documents (continued)Preidentified answer documents still require hand coding for education classification, exceptionalities, and accommodations students actually received in testing.Bar-code labels must NOT be placed over the preprinted student information.Errors in preprinted student information must not be corrected. Test administrators should report errors in preprinted information to the School Test Coordinator, who must report errors to the Student Information System (SIS) coordinator for correction in the SIS database.13Bar-code LabelsOnly hand-coded answer documents require bar-code labels.School personnel must not affix bar-code labels to answer documents for approved home study program or LEAP (999) nonpublic school students.

To link Phase 1 and Phase 2 LEAP scores for reporting, hand coding in fields E, I, and J must be complete and must match exactly on all answer documents for a student. A used hand-coded answer document returned to DRC without a bar-code label may not be scored in a timely manner.Keep all unused labels (bar-code and return labels) received in Phase 1 delivery for use in Phase 2 testing.ALIGN TOP OF LABEL

LEAP SPR 2014 BAR-CODE LABEL14Hand Coding LEAP Phase 1 DocumentsErrors in hand-coded information require records to be manually merged to provide students with complete content-area scores!It is IMPERATIVE that the following demographic information be hand coded completely (no blanks) and match exactly on all answer documents for a student to create accurate student results:Date of Birth (field E)First Name (field I)Last Name (field I)Social Security Number/State ID Number (field J)

15LEAP Phase 1 Materials Retained for Phase 2 (STC) The School Test Coordinator should retain the following materials for use in Phase 2 testing:Student/label rostersUnused resealable plastic bags for approved home study program students answer documentsUnused LEAP bar-code labelsUnused DRC return labels (green and white)Unused DRC return bagsReturn envelopes for district office itemsTest Coordinators Manual and LEAP Test Administration ManualsUnmarked LEAP Mathematics Reference SheetsUnmarked LEAP rulers (6 and 12)Protractors (grade 4)

16LEAP PHASE 2Preidentified LabelsAPRIL 2014

17LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels OverviewTo decrease the number of manual merges, LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels will again be provided for students whose hand-coded Phase 1 answer documents were completed for at least two of the following demographic fields:Date of BirthFirst Name Last NameSocial Security NumberThe pink Phase 2 preidentified labels will be sent to the districts for arrival on Thursday, April 3. District Test Coordinators must distribute them to the correct schools. Use of the preidentified labels will help ensure that the LEAP Phase 1 and Phase 2 scores are merged within a content area.

LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels

Pink LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels will be provided for students who tested on LEAP Phase 1 hand-coded documents.Demographic information hand coded on the Phase 1 answer document will appear on the Phase 2 preidentified label

ALIGN TOP OF LABELBIERBAUM, LORIGRADE: 4 GENDER: F DOB:01/01/2003STATE ID: XXXXX9999 PHASE 1 AD SEC.#: 41259415

P510385 3999999 04001 Pelican Parish002 Egret Elementary SchoolLEAP SPR 2014If First Name or Last Name was left blank on the Phase 1 answer document, the First Name or Last Name will not appear on the Phase 2 preidentified label.If DOB or SSN was only partially coded or left blank on the Phase 1 answer document, those blanks will be replaced with dashes (-). The last eight digits of the Phase 1 answer document security number and the district and school information will also appear on Phase 2 preidentified labels.19LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels How To UseBefore a preidentified label is affixed to a students LEAP Phase 2 answer document, the information on the label should be reviewed to ensure the label belongs to a particular student. There may be as few as two demographics on a students Phase 2 preidentified label. If necessary, verify that the students Phase 1 answer document security number, found on the label, matches the security number on the Phase 1 security checklist. After verifying the information, the preidentified label should be affixed to the lower-left corner of the answer document.20LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels How To Use (continued)Do not correct errors on LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels.Information printed on a preidentified label is pulled directly from the hand-coded information on the students Phase 1 answer document. Errors can be corrected later in LEAPweb.Answer documents with LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels must be coded according to the directions for preidentified answer documents in the LEAP Test Administration Manual. LEAP Phase 2 preidentified labels must be affixed to answer documents for students who are not testing, and an accountability code (if applicable) should be hand coded on page 2 of the answer documents.

21LEAP Phase 2 Preidentified Labels Not ReceivedReasons why a LEAP Phase 2 preidentified label may not have been received:A students LEAP Phase 1 answer document demographic information contained too little information or more than two of the four demographic fields were left blank.A students LEAP Phase 1 answer document was not received and processed at DRC by the morning of April 1.The student enrolled in a school after Phase 1 testing.The student did not test during Phase 1.NOTE: If the demographic information does not match exactly across both phases, students may have multiple records reported, and a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge request must be submitted to DRC in order for a student to receive a complete score for each content area.

22Using Nonpreidentified Bar-code Labels in Phase 2If a school does not receive a LEAP Phase 2 preidentified label for a student whose Phase 1 answer document was hand coded, the School Test Coordinator should contact the District Test Coordinator, who will contact LDOE to obtain the Phase 1 demographic information for the student (if it is available).If a student does not receive a preidentified label or a preidentified answer document for Phase 2 testing, a bar-code label (nonpreidentified) must be affixed to the Phase 2 answer document, and the document must be hand coded according to the instructions in the LEAP Test Administration Manual.

38Straggler Answer DocumentsThese are answer documents that are incorrectly packaged or received by DRC after the cutoff date.DRCs procedures for handling straggler documents:Documents will be scanned and scored at a later date.Documents will not appear on the used answer document report but may appear on the missing materials report.A score memo will be released with the students score and the students Web history will be updated.For LEAP students, the score memo may be only a partial score, depending on whether one or both Phase 1 and Phase 2 student answer documents arrived late. Districts must submit a merge request. Merged scores will not be reflected in LEAPweb.No student labels will be sent, and scores will not appear online in the CSV files or the assessment summary reports.39LEAP and LAA 2 RescoresFriday, May 16, is the proposed date for release of LEAP and LAA 2 results.A rescore request must be submitted for LAA 2 graduating seniors. These students will not be assessed a rescore fee.To receive rescoring results BEFORE summer testing, DRC must receive the rescore request by May 23. There are no exceptions to this deadline. For requests received by May 23, DRC will provide a score memo by June 3.

All requests received after May 23 will be processed within 23 weeks.The final deadline for submitting rescore requests is June 16.Must fax rescore requests. Requests mailed after June 9 may not be processed, if not received at DRC by June 16.

40Reminders: Managing MaterialsSecurity checklists must be used to track materials. Useful in verifying the information on the Phase 2 preidentified labelsInclude Rough Draft booklets, which have security numbersOn the security checklists, School Test Coordinators should add student names next to security numbers to identify the materials each student used in testing. When calling DRC with score inquiries or submitting requests to merge scores or locate documents, the security number must be supplied.Labels or materials cannot be taken from one school and given to another.

41Reminders: Large-print and Braille MaterialsLarge-print test booklets are combined by content-area pair.The number of volumes of braille booklets varies.Student responses from all LEAP and iLEAP large-print, braille, and other accommodated-format materials must be transferred to scorable answer documents.Reminder stickers about transferring responses have been placed on all large-print and braille booklets.Security checklists should be used to monitor which booklets require transferred answers.Large-print Writing Rough Draft pages are provided with the large-print booklets and must be returned with secure materials.Braille Test Administration Instructions are considered secure and must be returned to DRC.42General RemindersTA numbers must be entered February 26April 16 by using LEAPweb.Student test histories need to be corrected using LEAPweb.Be sure to merge incomplete histories a few times a year.Administrative error fee$350 per content area. Fee must be paid in full before materials will be provided.Applies to LEAP English Language Arts and Mathematics tests and LAA 2 Grades 10 and 11 tests.Search and score fees$100 to search and $100 per subject to score each content area for documents that are returned without a label or returned inside a test booklet. FERPATo maintain student confidentiality, any personal student information such as first and last name, SSN, and DOB must be relayed to DRC via an encrypted file in an e-mail, fax, or phone conversation.

43General Packing InstructionsUse the provided DRC return bags and plastic ties in boxes containing scorable materials.The boxes used to deliver testing materials and the additional boxes included in the district shipment should be used when returning materials.Materials must be separated by testing program and the correct program-specific DRC return labels must be affixed to flap A.When applicable, UPS Return Service labels must be affixed to flap B.Do not make copies of UPS Return Service labels!Do not affix UPS labels to boxes of nonscorable materials picked up by Assessment Distribution Services (pickup 5 in April).Do NOT package materials for multiple schools in the same box, regardless of how few the materials.44Materials ReturnApril pickups 14: Used answer documents are returned in pickups 14 via UPS Next-day Air (automatic); unused answer documents are also returned in pickup 4. DRC return labels are provided for each testing program.OPTION: iLEAP used answer documents are scheduled to be returned in pickup 3 but may be returned in pickup 2 if ready.April pickup 5: All remaining nonscorable materials for LEAP, iLEAP, and LAA 2 are returned in pickup 5 via ADS (ground).White DRC return labels provided for each testing program must be affixed to boxes containing remaining nonscorable materials.45

MERGES

46Types of MergesMerge Within a Content AreaFor a student who responded to portions of a single content area on two different answer documents.Request for Merging Scores forms (LEAP Phase 2 form or iLEAP and LAA 2 form) should be faxed to DRC when requesting this type of merge.Student History Merge via LEAPwebDistrict Test Coordinators perform these.The Electronic Merge request in LEAPweb should be used to merge incomplete histories that require LDOE assistance.LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2 Merge A manual merge completed by DRC to combine a students LEAP Phase 1 and Phase 2 scores so the student has one complete score within a content area

47LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2Merge Request ProcessAfter LEAP scores are released, if a student has records that require a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge, follow the steps below. Print copies of the students multiple reports for one content-area test (the unmatched student reports). Indicate which of the reports will be the primary record by writing primary on the top of the student report. The demographic information on the primary record will override the secondary records demographics and be used on the score memo that contains the merged score.Fax to DRC copies of the student reports that require the merge.

48LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2Merge ProceduresAfter receiving the designated primary and secondary student reports from a district, DRC will merge the students records and send a score memo to the district. After DRC has performed a Phase 1/Phase 2 merge and the scores are loaded to LEAPweb, the districts will still see the two records in LEAPweb:The primary record will contain the students complete score.The secondary record will remain in Web history but will not have scores linked to it.The district will then need to perform a student history merge in LEAPweb to eliminate the secondary student record.NOTE: When DRC performs a LEAP Phase 1/Phase 2 merge, they cannot update any demographic fields, even if a district has requested that changes be made.
