PRoPL Accessibility and Accommodations

Review accessibility and accomodation requirements for PRoPL.

Tags

McGraw Hill and Pearson are committed to making their products accessible to all students. Universal and designated features for PRoPL ensure that all students can benefit from participation in the assessment.

 

Universal Features

Universal features are accessibility supports that are available to all students without the requirement of an accommodated test. These features are embedded in Pearson’s test player along with non-embedded non-digital local-level testing supports.

Note: Some tools are always available for students, while others become available when needed for a specific item. 

 

Embedded Universal Features

Some accessibility features are available for all questions, while others are only available for relevant questions.

Feature Description
Human-recorded audio (Math, grades K-1)  Kindergarten and 1st grade students will have human audio available for directions and all test items in math. Headphones are required for all Kindergarten and 1st grade students. 
Text to Speech (TTS) (Math, grades 3-8)*

On grades 3-8 math assessments, all students will have access to DTTS.

Note: For all grades, voice must be installed to enable Dynamic Text to Speech (DTTS) for Spanish math tests.

*Text-to-Speech is not available for practice PRoPL assessments at this time. 
Highlighter  A student can use this to highlight items, text, or response options. 
Answer eliminator  Students use this feature to cross out answer choices that do not appear to be correct. 
Math tools  A student can access an embedded digital calculator for calculator-enabled items. Students will also have protractors and rulers when enabled on an item. 
Amplification  Students control the volume level as needed when using headphones. 
Key navigation  Students can navigate through the test content by using the keyboard. 
Line reader/line guide  The student can use this feature as a guide when reading text. 
Math reference sheets  Math formulas are provided on a resource page. 
Notepad  Students can use this feature as digital scratch paper to make notes. 
Magnifier  Students can enlarge the size of the text within the PRoPL assessment. 

 

Non-Embedded Universal Features

Feature Description
Breaks  A student can take breaks as needed to reduce cognitive fatigue. 
Noise buffer  A student can use noise buffers to minimize distraction or filter external noises during testing. 
Extended time 

There are no time limits on PRoPL assessments. 

On average, students take 35-40 minutes to complete the test, but may take as long as they need to complete the PRoPL assessment. 
Separate setting  A school may alter a test location so that the student is tested in a setting such as a quiet room, if this is provided during other testing events. 

 

Designated Features

Designated features are available for students who require additional support that aligns with their instructional experience, such as language support. If the feature needed is embedded in Reveal Math, educators are required to indicate the accommodation, by student, in the Reveal Math course platform prior to testing.

 

Embedded Designated Features

Feature Description
Spanish language translation  Spanish language math assessments are available for in grades K-12 for students requiring this feature. 

 

Non-Embedded Designated Features

Feature Description
Read Aloud Proctors can read the test questions aloud.  
Scribe  Proctors may enter student responses into the PRoPL assessment for a student who is unable to do so in circumstances, such as a broken arm or other physical disability.  
Native language translation  A test administrator who is fluent in the student’s native language can translate test items.
