Elise Fry explained that appeals interrupt the normal flow from submission to reporting and are used in several cases: to reopen a writing test accidentally submitted, to reopen a student segment incorrectly exited, to invalidate a test for academic‑dishonesty reasons, or to apply a parental exclusion after testing. Appeals must be created in TIDE and are subject to a two-step process: creation and then review/processing by an LEA-level user. Fry emphasized that invalidating a test removes the test opportunity entirely and cautioned staff to choose the correct appeal reason and review the submitter's rationale before approving.

On timing, Fry said appeals should be submitted at least one day before the end of the testing window so a student could still complete an opportunity if appropriate. She also recommended LEAs check appeals frequently during windows—daily or hourly for larger LEAs—and noted TIDE supports bulk uploads for batch appeal creation.

Fry described post-testing data-cleanup tools in TIDE. LEA users can run a discrepancy resolution report to find students who were eligible but never tested and assign appropriate participation codes (absent, parental exclusion, etc.). She said participation codes should be entered throughout the testing window rather than only afterwards, but the training gave a final submission deadline of June 9 for participation codes (the trainer said the Monday after the window close is typical and confirmed June 9 in the session).

Fry also clarified force‑completed tests: if a student started but did not finish, the system will force complete the opportunity at window close and generate a score; an LEA user can later enter a participation code (for example, a medical emergency) if the student remains active in the system.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Feb 2025 RISE Spring Training","oneSentenceSummary","USBE staff walked LEA users through the TIDE appeals workflow, when to create appeals, how appeals are processed, and the timeline and options for participation-code submission and data cleanup after test windows close (participation codes due June 9).","taxTitle","Utah State Board of Education, Utah Government Divisions, Utah Legislative Branch, Utah","taxId",7925,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6666689,"USBE warns of delayed ELA reading/writing reports; explains scale scores and ISRs",780,5520000,6300000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e&start=5520&end=6300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e/thumbnail_5520000.jpg","/articles/6666689/Utah/USBE-warns-of-delayed-ELA-readingwriting-reports-explains-scale-scores-and-ISRs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666689-bfa8521f7c3f89d8d2c42b385d615ffd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770516489&Signature=QKQCT9XiZ-3UKGPhOWpKmXUxR9FORel5~HKcGMRZJn-mQfKUa2Nk~r9oZeJtH-xka59EuFZLeJV0vMO0ucZR5c8qs3sMHSj1evKeGMm1n11GhmbCnlT95Z9IMkfKaEcR~CqJ~O1SrVIP9Wf-SNSuqZNSEt1qch5pbeCcOINbHXd79WleRYsTnhP721OhCpLyEVIO-Q1CU3dN6fcpfus8R-FkBnYnX2uNLiunP4DW2Qlv4M-vF8-Ntov4YD2d33UxwHIVzMdKeFCNpNEA6MEkiL7MAQwvpiuARD2aaUjlXfVGjXta~hucg0EToWdz22yh9fHvAD6GAfxGB6bNc3gjWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the RISE administration training, USBE staff told LEA assessment directors that reporting for ELA reading and writing scores will be delayed and is expected to be available in the fall.

Elise Fry said the delay affects when RISE reporting and the student-level Individual Student Reports (ISRs) for ELA reading and writing will appear in the portal. She said USBE will either add scoring guidance to the fall RISE administration training or discuss it at an Assessment Directors meeting once the reports are available.

Fry also described why RISE uses scale scores: because the summative assessment is adaptive and students do not answer identical items, scale scores enable comparison across students and over time. She explained that scale scores correspond to proficiency ranges and performance levels (below proficient, approaching, proficient, highly proficient) and showed where to generate ISRs using the reporting generator. She noted writing rubrics and some reporting dimensions were being updated and that screenshots were not yet available.

The training reviewed reporting tools LEAs can use: roster and student views, performance-by-category bars, strength/weakness markers at aggregate levels, the dashboard generator and the download options that send files to the secure file center (PDF, CSV, zip). Fry reminded LEAs that parents must be notified of student scores within three weeks of test completion and that ISRs print from the student results generator.","USBE staff said ELA reading and writing score reporting will be delayed until the fall, described scale scores for adaptive testing, and explained how LEAs generate ISRs and other reports in the RISE reporting system.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6666693,"USBE details remote proctoring features, limits and technical requirements for RISE",830,3490000,4320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e&start=3490&end=4320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e/thumbnail_3490000.jpg","/articles/6666693/Utah/USBE-details-remote-proctoring-features-limits-and-technical-requirements-for-RISE","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666693-45833fda35ba3a7475d2e5339f24a1b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770516489&Signature=D4u6qNP8I3SXHlvCYjjbKQDs4OVIAC~dNFE4SMGGkgwOadOcogne2rryKPiser0WmJl7DJHKdvywcewiJigRC5rJiYdQ7teDpp6oA7rvMMsg1oqvY7R11nRjJgzpAPesM6lymNh7tdePXLHLGES-kDPUTRrvLdq7U7GZV~daPgOsCGlKGBqm7dtPQo2mQ2YLL9MKKfs~CNsexaN4F30Q3Qwb8jK9B4o1gtuSHqIBBUZEm7kQai6PcBWyo5EK4glxYj0SKNE-ADnDNi5XtrjuiGbuqT9HPtiQ~hsoRnqwWDzPJ7KEf9etHTGfovC4V9WIEj-6QOhcsAYBEa4UUQIsMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","USBE staff demonstrated the RISE built‑in remote proctoring tools and outlined hardware, staffing and security requirements for administering summative assessments to students who receive full remote instruction.

Elise Fry explained that remote students use the secure browser and the same login flow as in-person students but are able to communicate with proctors by text and video inside the RISE test-administration interface. Teachers can broadcast messages to all students, receive individual chat messages, view low‑resolution video thumbnails for all students, and open high‑resolution video or a one‑on‑one video call with an individual student. A screen‑sharing option is available for students to grant teachers a view of the student's screen.

Fry said remote sessions should have no more than 10 students assigned to two proctors and that those two proctors must be physically co‑located in the same room during administration to facilitate troubleshooting. She added that the remote tools require functioning camera, microphone and speakers on student devices and that the secure browser must allow camera/microphone access during scheduled sessions.

The training reiterated security rules for remote testing: parents or siblings must not be present during the test, no music or background TV is allowed, printed materials and scratch paper must be securely stored and destroyed after sessions, and session IDs must be communicated securely (encrypted email or secure LMS). Fry also recommended performing a remote training test immediately before summative administration to verify audio/video and accommodations.

Fry noted some specific operational items: the remote session pop-up will request camera and microphone access, students cannot see or communicate with other students during remote proctoring, and teachers can initiate a 1‑on‑1 video conference if needed. The presentation included a remote proctoring checklist in the TAM and a link to a RISE diagnostic tool to check device compatibility.","The training described remote proctoring tools built into the RISE administration interface, hardware requirements, proctoring limits (no more than 10 students per two proctors), and security expectations for remote sessions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6666698,"USBE clarifies RISE accommodations workflow: TIDE forms, timelines and approvals",380,1060000,1440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e&start=1060&end=1440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e/thumbnail_1060000.jpg","/articles/6666698/Utah/USBE-clarifies-RISE-accommodations-workflow-TIDE-forms-timelines-and-approvals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666698-4432892ecc5db002f1012e7d7ed93739/orig.mp4?Expires=1770516489&Signature=ERNbGpTQvT471mWIfjw5mMEiqfXdu0oUM0m3ZbqZV6jKtO-awSiWXJXYskW31MWl3XPZuj6FaFiOXyxQfbZfN9yk0X53c9m4P4jNetAM~ucwesiRTLmyYplKUZ232l2yikSslOJ~-otKoHuj54YFaQrj15avsET0~uA~PU2dC11IOQPsddPHThL1Jqz-tUJGADft22yr6BCe4Ogrt4PJhYo5PipV7tywo7Re1W2zMYyJf48GNdLFJ7al-PYNnL3If4ZedNTS~b7vobvP7uVoJ2330qbjshghZxgu-NqsDViAU8kjDG5N9ylWRmk8A6EUbXjgf0dxdp2k~PyxGUqR6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During a RISE administration training, Jessica Wilhelm, USBE special education specialist, and Elise Fry explained the process schools must follow to request state‑approved accommodations for summative testing.

Wilhelm described the TIDE forms workflow: schools submit an accommodation request using the forms feature in TIDE, completing all required fields and agreeing that the accommodation is documented and used regularly in classroom instruction. After submission the form provides a tracking identifier and cannot be edited; USBE staff then review and enable approved accommodations in TIDE.

Wilhelm urged LEAs to provide three to four weeks' notice for non‑routine requests. \"Your emergency is not my priority,\" she said, recounting many last‑minute requests from the previous year and asking districts to plan ahead. She said requests submitted shortly before testing may not be processed in time and recommended emailing her when last‑minute requests arise so staff can prioritize them.

Fry clarified technical limits: some accommodations (for example, assistive technologies and scribe requests) require TIDE form submission and state approval and cannot be applied by uploading test‑setting exports. The CAI export that pulls current test tool settings into Excel can speed edits of settings that are editable directly in TIDE, but it does not replace the formal forms workflow for state‑controlled accommodations.

The training also covered Spanish adaptive functionality: it is available for math and science and must be enabled in TIDE; it is not available for ELA reading or writing. Fry said LEAs' language services teams, with parent and student preference, should determine eligibility for the Spanish adaptive option and follow TAM guidance when setting it.

Additional operational details: approved accommodations can be viewed in TIDE; the status of submitted forms is accessible through the view/edit forms menu; and once USBE approves an accommodation, staff will enable it in TIDE so the student receives the resource during testing.","USBE staff explained how schools must submit requests for assistive technology and other state‑approved accommodations through TIDE forms, recommended lead times, and the role of Jessica Wilhelm in approvals.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6666701,"USBE issues detailed guidance for RISE summative administration, testing windows and security",7100,0,7100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e&start=0&end=7100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2315154-0d28732551c3601b8170eeae2d42259e/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6666701/Utah/USBE-issues-detailed-guidance-for-RISE-summative-administration-testing-windows-and-security","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666701-a1c1ad6d3eadd2a61e7880d4e8dd6170/orig.mp4?Expires=1770516489&Signature=K0rYUA78eC9SE2w1xV--G8UfZfwoxu3Bn-tTKiUot2Qx7kR92gd4SFMdt1AxjjlnezaT8zi4RR1CILvPeKiDa-dEhLeUm9R4~-C-DxK-gsowFzwLNQsR5sDzBY--SrGAbmc~jKvBPP4zuvBAxP9Ejbxj4ARazChgSzWBzwqywe1JU~uXPhel~RVO5~w7APbZtEYT2ZGTISI5rxqjjJUer3nYHl5O39A7gYAI1Ei1SdYulOJny~4q~gv~MiSVdMoOZhPuwBlpmnbvuDf776thwLhMnl4NbQmhoH-isAoeqcN2IX0TBPDBJojZDarGm-Ox3L2Q29Fyne5o0ebhbU7waw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Elise Fry, test administration and assessment specialist with the Utah State Board of Education, led a webinar outlining statewide guidance for administering the RISE summative assessments, including scheduling windows, secure-browser requirements and recommended local procedures.

Fry said spring summative tests must be administered within an eight-week state window and that districts should avoid testing in the last week of school. \"You will need to have USBE approval to test your last week of school,\" Fry said, adding that LEAs should email her or Sydney McCarty, director of assessment, if they need an exception. Fry also said any incomplete mid-year summative tests will be force-completed if not submitted by March 1.

The training emphasized several operational requirements. A secure browser is required on all student devices for summative testing; installation instructions and troubleshooting guides are available in the portal's technology resources. Fry recommended running a training test in each content area before summative administration so students and technology are ready. She noted training tests are grade-band based (grades 3–5 and 6–8) and are intended to practice functionality, not to measure proficiency.

The webinar covered timelines for other RISE resources: interim assessments must be completed and submitted by Feb. 28; benchmarks will remain available through the school year; writing benchmarks and additional benchmark modules were slated to open Feb. 18. Fry said the ELA reading and writing reporting will be delayed and that score reporting for those subjects is expected later in the fall.

On security and local procedures, Fry urged schools to avoid sending testing tickets home with students and to collect printed session IDs or testing tickets at the end of each session and destroy them. She also reiterated that no secondary internet-capable devices (phones, smartwatches) are allowed during testing, except medically required devices, and that proctors must ensure testing rooms are free of unauthorized materials or music.

The presentation covered common proctoring practices: two proctors are recommended for summative administrations; proctors need not be certified teachers but must complete testing ethics training; session creation should be done less than 20 minutes before testing to avoid timeouts; and session IDs must be communicated to students securely. Fry also explained that the system prompts teachers to type the word \"summative\" when a summative test is selected to reduce misadministrations.

USBE staff said the RISE vendor help desk expands hours during summative windows (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mountain Time) for technical support. Fry said training materials, the slide deck and the recorded session will be posted to the assessment YouTube channel and the portal for LEA access.

Less critical details: Fry encouraged schools to plan device updates carefully, avoid using auto-update features that might break compatibility, and ensure headphones are available for embedded audio tools and text-to-speech features.","Utah State Board of Education staff walked LEA and school testing staff through RISE test windows, secure-browser requirements, training-test use and scheduling guidance including an eight-week spring summative window and local approvals for last-week-of-school testing.","actionData","errors"]
