Revised Assessment Policy Section

(Pages 24-25 of the O-PAS manual)

L-100-5B: All ABLE programs that teach basic computer literacy skills must administer the state approved Kansas Computer Literacy Assessment (KCLA) or the Technology and Internet Assessment (TIA). This does not include programs that simply use computers as a tool to teach basic skills.

L-100-5a: Only students who enter the program with the primary or secondary goal of gaining basic computer literacy skills are required to take the KCLA or TIA.

L-100-5b: Students who score below the Beginning Basic Education level (Educational Functioning Level 2) on a state approved standardized assessment must be placed in basic skills rather than computer literacy. In this case the student has not demonstrated sufficient literacy skills to begin a computer literacy program.

L-100-5c: Students who score at or above the Low Adult secondary Education level (Educational Functioning Level 5) on the KCLA or TIA must be referred to another training program for advanced computer skills.
