CAASPP: Test Administrator Tutorial Available Now!

CAASPP email update, January 24, 2022.

Dear Primary LEA CAASPP Coordinator:

The CAASPP Test Administrator Tutorial is now available on the Moodle Training Site (Moodle) .

The Test Administrator Tutorial, which is optional, covers all of the basic information needed to prepare test administrators to administer the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English language arts/literacy and mathematics, the California Science Test, and the California Spanish Assessment. This tutorial does not contain any secure content.

LEA CAASPP coordinators can provide test administrators with access to Moodle . LEA CAASPP coordinators are responsible for providing their own training to test administrators. The Test Administrator Tutorial is one way LEA CAASPP coordinators can provide and track the completion of training. If this tutorial will be offered to test administrators in an LEA, the LEA CAASPP coordinator should, in addition, provide local and relevant testing information.

Access Codes and Enrollment Key

The LEA CAASPP coordinator is responsible for distributing the Moodle enrollment key to appropriate staff. To access the enrollment key, take the following steps:

Access the CAASPP-ELPAC Administration and Scoring Training (AST) website.
Enter the access code for <LEA>: <passcode>.
Select the [CAASPP Moodle Training Site] button.
Copy the Moodle enrollment key.

After obtaining an enrollment key, LEA coordinators can use the CAASPP Test Administrator Moodle Letter Template and the Moodle Access At-A-Glance guide to assist them in communicating to staff.

Moodle User Accounts

To access the tutorial, a Moodle user account will be necessary for all LEA coordinators, site coordinators, and test administrators. Individuals who already have an account do not need to create a new one. Moodle user accounts can be created centrally by the LEA coordinator or individually by users.

To create Moodle user accounts in bulk (which can be done only by the primary LEA CAASPP coordinator), take the following steps:

Download the Moodle User Account Template from the CAASPP-ELPAC AST website.
Populate the template with names and emails.
Email the populated template to moodlesupport@scoe.net.

Moodle Completion Reports

The LEA CAASPP coordinator can request access to view reports and monitor test administrator certificates of completion. This access may be granted to additional staff members as needed.

To request reporting access, take the following steps:

Identify the personnel who require reporting access, including yourself if needed.
Log on to the CAASPP-ELPAC AST website.
Select the [CAASPP Moodle Training Site] button.
Submit the appropriate names and email addresses and select the [Save] button.

For instructions on monitoring CAASPP Test Administrator Tutorial completion status, refer to the "Monitoring Completion Status " chapter of the Moodle User Guide within Moodle.

Direct any questions about the CAASPP Test Administrator Tutorial to moodlesupport@scoe.net . LEA CAASPP coordinators should direct all other questions to their LEA Success Agent.

Sincerely,

California Outreach Team
