Section 853 - Administration

(a) The CAASPP tests pursuant to Education Code section 60640 shall be administered, scored, transmitted, and/or returned by LEAs in accordance with the corresponding TAMs or other instructions provided by the contractor or the California Department of Education (CDE) for administering, scoring, transmitting, and/or returning the tests, unless specifically provided otherwise in this subchapter, including instructions for administering the test with universal tools, designated supports, accommodations, unlisted resources or instructional supports, where appropriate. The procedures shall include, but are not limited to, those designed to ensure the uniform and standardized administration, and scoring of the tests to pupils, the security and integrity of the test content and test items, and the timely provision of all required pupil and school level information.

(b) The primary mode of administration of a CAASPP achievement test shall be via a computing device, the use of an assessment technology platform, and the adaptive engine. Administration, with the exception of the California Alternate Assessments, may be conducted through in-person or remote test sessions.

(c) If available, an LEA may utilize a paper-pencil version of any computer-based assessment (CBA) of the CAASPP System, excluding the alternate assessments, in accordance with Education Code section 60640(e), and if the LEA identifies the pupils that are unable to access the CBA version of the test.

(d) Interim assessments and formative assessment tools shall be made available to LEA(s) for their use. Use of interim assessments and formative assessment tools shall not be considered advance preparation for a CAASPP achievement test as defined in Education Code section 60611. LEAs that use interim assessments and/or formative assessment tools shall abide by the consortium/contractor(s) administration and use requirements. Any scoring of any performance tasks or constructed responses for an interim assessment is the responsibility of the LEA.
