SUBJECT:
DLI STAMP Assessment and Training
School administrators are encouraged to send the following information to their DLI teachers.
USBE has a new DLI assessment contract with Avant’s STAMP assessment. LTI’s AAPPL test will no longer be used for the fall DLI testing.
The DLI STAMP assessment window opens on Monday, October 20th and closes on Friday, December 12th. Of course, students won’t start testing until after fall break.
Assessment, Research & Accountability does not currently have access to Avant’s testing system and we do not know when we will have access or when we will be able to give teachers access. That said, here is what we know:
Test Preparation: DLI Teachers
- The Utah STAMP website contains several guides under the heading ‘For Schools and Teachers.’
- Check out the STAMP accommodations page for information about the types of accommodations available on the STAMP.
- The FAQ for grades 3-5 may be found here and the FAQ for grades 6-9 may be found here.
Because this is a new assessment and because the state’s testing ethics policy requires an annual training for all statewide mandated assessments, the following virtual training dates will be available. All DLI teachers or other school personnel who will be administering the STAMP will need to attend one of the virtual trainings listed below:
Friday, 10/10 - 8:30am or 1:30pm
Friday, 10/17 - 8:30am or 1:30pm
Friday, 10/31 - 8:30am or 1:30pm
Friday, 11/7 - 8:30am or 1:30pm
Trainings will last approximately 45 minutes. All participants can join the virtual training using this Zoom link: https://jordandistrict-org.zoom.us/j/5266134800
