The state has released an updated version of the online tools training for the ACAP. This is extremely important for students to be able to use the tools effectively, and without distraction.
All teachers should become familiar with the tools for all tests. You may be asked a question at some point during the test, and if you haven’t utilized the tools yourselves, you will not be able to assist your students. We want you to be able to assist students witho0ut having to open the door and ask for help, which in turn can cause irregularities to happen and distract all students.
Many tools have been removed, and added for students that require accommodations. I highly recommend all teachers become familiar with the tools for all tests. Special education teachers need to also become familiar with all tools. Your students need to be familiar with them as well, i.e., the pace it reads text aloud, etc.
Our STEM Lab teachers have been working with students on some of the tools. However, it is extremely important that the online tools also be practiced in your classroom during your designated ACAP time.
