PLAN The purpose of grade 10 PLAN in Chicago Public Schools is to provide baseline information at 10th grade about student readiness for college and to assist in educational and career planning. It is also a predictor of how students will perform on the ACT portion of the PSAE in grade 11. Additionally, PLAN gains are a representation of student growth. As such, PLAN reading and math gains are calculated into each school’s CPS Performance Policy score, which is used to determine Probation Status. S tudent growth and trend metrics are also used to inform the first step of the Principal Evaluation process. English Language Learners (ELLs) and PLAN All ELL students in program year 5 and above are required to participate in PLAN testing. Students in program year 0 are exempt from PLAN testing. Students in program year 1-4 are able to participate at the discretion of the school. Accommodations are available.
The Office of Language and Culture Education
recommends that students who have an ACCESS proficiency level of 3.5 or above
participate. Students with a proficiency level below 3.5 may participate at school
discretion.
Available Accommodations The following accommodations are available for students with testing accommodations specified in their IEP: extended time, large print test format, Braille, CD, audiocassette, and Reader’s Script. The following accommodations are available for ELL students on the basis of their ELL status: extended time, CD, audiocassette, Reader’s Script, and use of a translator to translate instructions into the student’s native language (test questions or answers cannot be translated as an accommodation). Please note that all accommodations materials are only available in English – they have not been translated into other languages. Please note that students testing with accommodations must test in separate rooms from students participating in standard-time testing.

Once materials have been delivered and inventoried, additional standard time materials and/or accommodation materials (i.e. alternate test formats) can be requested via the Department of Student Assessment online ordering system: https://itgcenter.cps.k12.il.us/ .

• Inventory all test materials immediately upon receipt. • Store all test materials in a locked room or cabinet. • Limit access to the test supervisor and/or school administrator. • Give materials to room supervisors personally rather than leave in an unattended room for pick up. • Collect test materials from room supervisors at the end of each testing day.
