What’s NEW for 2016
Students are no longer required to have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), or a special
provision, to have the questions read to them. Only students who request it should
have the questions read to them. Readers are not permitted to define, translate,
explain or review any terms.
■
■
The following electronic formats will be available this year: Word (.doc), accessible
Word, PDF, accessible PDF and MP3 audio.
Remember…
✓ ALL school staff involved in the administration must read and adhere to the
“Professional Responsibilities for the Administration of the Grade 9 Assessment”
in this guide.
✓ All provisions outlined in the administration and accommodation guides must be
adhered to whether the student is taking the assessment in a paper or an electronic
format. No instructional materials, including electronic instructional applications, that
facilitate responses to questions can be used. We rely on the professional judgment
of educators to administer the assessments in accordance with EQAO guidelines and
to ensure the security and validity of the assessments.
✓ Ensure all students record all of their answers—both multiple-choice and open
response—in the appropriate Answer Booklet.
✓ All resources listed in this guide are available in the “Educators” section of EQAO’s
Web site, www.eqao.com, unless otherwise noted.
✓ There is a “Student Materials Order Checklist” in the Guide for Accommodations and
Special Provisions. Schools are invited to make copies of this checklist in order to
identify special orders prior to entering them into the Student Data Collection (SDC)
system.
✓ Identify students who will write in an alternative location, and, at least six weeks in
advance (if possible), request permission from EQAO for them to do so.
✓ All students working toward a credit in Grade 9 applied or academic mathematics must
write the assessment. This includes adult students and English language learners.
✓ Assessment materials should not be copied in any way or for any reason.
✓ The use of cellphones, audio- or video-recording devices, digital music players or
e-mail or text-messaging devices during the assessment is prohibited.
