= Practice Sessions = Before students can be tested using the computer-based test, they must participate in a practice session to learn how to use the computer-based system (FDOE, 2012a, 2012b). The practice session is designed to prepare students for the testing and will familiarize them with the login system and the process for responding to questions on the computer. Students and school personnel can access CBT practice tests for both the regular test (TestNav) and the accommodated test forms (TestHear) via ePAT links at www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs Practice session scripts and instructions will also be posted under the Resources tab at www.FLAssessments.com/ePATs

= Professional Development - Florida's CPALMS = CPALMS is the official site of Florida's standards, course descriptions, and resources. It now offers Professional Development modules. One of the modules is **Accommodations for FCAT, FCAT 2.0, and EOC Assessments.** This PowerPoint has been developed to provide you with instructions to use CPALMS to learn more about **Accommodations for FCAT, FCAT 2.0, and EOC Assessments.** The purpose of the course is to provide information about the use of accommodations by students with disabilities in state and district testing programs, including the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test® (FCAT), FCAT 2.0, and End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments. The target audience for this course includes educators, family members, and other professionals who work with students with disabilities. This module is worth 5 inservice component points.

Spring 2011 Computer-Based Test Accommodated ePATs Guide
This document includes download instructions and a practice session script for the accommodated FCAT Reading Retake & Grade 10/Retake FCAT Mathematics ePAT (the guide does not contain a script for Algebra 1) to help schools make appropriate accommodation decisions for students. The instructions and script will also be provided in a full-length //Spring 2011 CBT Accommodations Guide// that will be posted in February. This guide will also include setup instructions and scripts for accommodated forms of operational assessments.

Electronic Assessment Practice Tools
@http://www.pearsonaccess.com/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Florida/flPALPLayout&cid=1205461226846&pagename=flPALPWrapper School personnel should allow eligible students to practice using the accommodated forms to determine whether students can appropriately access the computer-based tests according to the accommodations indicated on their IEPs or Section 504 plans. Practice should occur as soon as possible so that the appropriate test delivery mode (computer-based or paper-based) can be indicated for these students in your PreID file. Please advise school and district staff involved in making these decisions that paper-based accommodations should be selected only for those students who require them.

Memo from Bambi Lockman, Jan. 20, 2011
Subject: Spring 2011 PreID file for selection of paper-based or computer-based test delivery.

Except from the memo
The following considerations should guide decision-making regarding computer-based or paper-based test delivery. If the following conditions apply, a student must participate in testing using paper-based test materials: -The student cannot access assessments on the computer -The student requires an accommodation that cannot be implemented in conjunction with a computer-based administration (e.g., the student requires a specialized setting or uses aaa adaptive furniture that cannot accommodate a computer workstation) -The student requires an accommodated CBT form that is not available -The student has a flexible scheduling/extended tine accommodation that requires testing one session over more than one day -The student is hospital/homebound In order to receive paper-based test materials for any CBT administration a paper-based testing requirement or one or more of the above conditions should be indicated as an accommodation on the student’s IEP or Section 504 plan.
