Each student who completes a VT, VP, or VN (FCS) course should participate in an end of course assessment (WebXam) as identified in the program and assessment matrix. Completion of a course is defined as a student who sits for 90% or more of the course and/or earns full or partial credit. Students who were unsuccessful in meeting the minimum proficient assessment score for a course in which the student is currently or had been enrolled may be provided an opportunity to retake.
All students, including students with disabilities, enrolled in a career-technical education pathway program are required to participate in the CTE assessment aligned to the pathway. Students must be provided the proper accommodations as outlined in the individualized education program (IEP) or 504 plan. A student shall not be prohibited from graduation due to the failure to pass a CTE technical assessment.
WebXam Same-Year Retake Policy
WebXam end-of-course assessments may be retaken in the same school year by any career-technical education student currently enrolled or previously enrolled in a course with a testing requirement. Students should be provided an opportunity to retest after allowing for additional instruction time. This enhances opportunities for students to demonstrate technical skills attainment for the purpose of graduation and report cards. The policy for WebXam same-year retakes includes:
- Students may take an end-of-course test no more than twice per academic school year (each school year begins July 1 and ends June 30).
- A retake must be scheduled at least 30 days after the previous assessment was performed.
- Field-Tests may be retaken based on the Field-Test Retake Policy
GRADUATING STUDENT FIELD-TEST RETAKE POLICY
Students graduating in the current academic year and intending to use the WebXam Graduation Option may retake Field-Tested WebXam Assessments one time after the assessments forms have been finalized beginning on the “Target for Field Test Finalization” date on the WebXam Calendar. This option does not require thirty days between retakes and is only available to graduating students who took the field test.
