Wisconsin Test Security Manual
This document represents the expected professional conduct of educators who administer State summative assessments in order to ensure proper assessment and academic integrity. It is intended to be used by districts and schools in the fair and appropriate administration of the state assessments. State assessments are an important and required tool used to monitor state, district, school, and student achievement. For these assessments to yield fair and accurate results, they must be given under standardized conditions to all students.
DLM Confidentiality Agreements
District and school staff (DAC, SAC, DTC, STC, etc.) who have access to the test or reports (providing accommodations, setting up tests and testing devices etc.) must sign hard copy confidentiality forms and submit the form to their DAC /SAC. Only the signed DAC Confidentiality form must be sent to DPI at osamail@dpi.wi.gov, all other confidentiality forms should be retained at the local level. CESA staff who have access to any testing materials or data must also complete a confidentiality form. All Confidentiality Agreement Forms are available on the Assessment Forms webpage. There is no DPI DLM Confidentiality Form for Test Administrators/Proctors as they are required to sign an equivalent electronic form prior to accessing the portal.
Incident Report Form
The primary goal of test security is to protect the integrity of the examination and to assure that results are accurate and meaningful. All summative test items and test materials are secure and must be appropriately handled. Secure handling protects the integrity, validity, and confidentiality of assessment items, prompts, and student information. Any deviation in test administration must be reported as a test security incident to ensure the validity of the assessment results.
