Don't mark the form "no" if you did provide the accomodation
Make sure if a proctor reports an irregularity, that you fill out a form.
Testing Accomodations:

Instructional vs Testing accomodations
Whatever is on the accomodation sheets, those are the mods students should be receiving
These accommodations have been entered into NCWISE.
The only thing that can be worked on during testing is that Accomodation Form.
Only three students in our building qualify for LEP/EC accomodations
Students do not need to be in a separate setting to get extended time--when you get down to 1 student (ONLY 1, not two or three), they can be sent to the over load room.
Students can only use extended time if they have been working dilagently the entire time. You can touch them and make them resume working.
Read aloud is not allowed during reading test!
Do not give an answer sheet PERIOD if theyhave the accomodation "answer in BOOK".
Survey--Students who are "mark in book" can circle on the survey question sheet
Bubble Party (Thursday PM)--must have groups of 3 at least, one to observe, other two to bubble and verify
Maximum test time is four fours

Testing will start around 7:45, and will end when we have all rooms complete regular testing
