These tests were developed to provide a thorough, fair, and carefully validated assessment for states to use as part of the licensure process for principals, superintendents, and school leaders. These tests reflect the most current research and professional judgement and experience of educators across the country, and they are based on both a national job analysis study and a set of standards for school leaders identified by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC). Please note: the School Leadership Series exams are printed and administered in English only. Testing Requirements Each state agency that uses the School Leaders Licensure Assessment and/or the School Superintendent Assessment determines its assessment needs for principals, superintendents, and other school leaders based on legislated requirements and/or state policy. Typically, the agency assembles a panel of principals, superintendents, other school leaders, and educational administration professors as appropriate to review the test specifications and make an initial determination of whether the assessment is appropriate for meeting that agency's goals. The test is then reviewed and validated for that state. If you are not sure you have the latest information regarding state licensing requirements, check with the Department of Education or Educational Licensure Board in the state where you plan to work. Passing Scores Each state choosing to use either the School Leaders Licensure Assessment or the School Superintendent Assessment as part of the requirements for licensure of principals, superintendents, or other school leaders will determine a "passing" score that the state will apply to all test takers who wish to obtain a license. To set a passing score, states must abide by rigorous industry standards to ensure that the score is appropriate and fair. The score is set by a panel of approximately 14 experts--most of whom are either principals, superintendents, or other school leaders--from diverse school backgrounds. The panel reviews numerous examples of test takers' responses over the course of two days and works collaboratively to arrive at an appropriate passing score. The final decision is informed by the vision of school leadership embodied in the ISLLC Standards, as well as an awareness of the impact selection of various passing scores will have on the passing rate of the test taker population. 5 CONTACT INFORMATION GENERAL INQUIRIES Phone: 1-800-772-9476 -- U.S., U.S. Territories, and Canada 1-609-771-7395 -- all other locations Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-7:45 p.m. EST Recorded information is available 24 hours a day if you use a touch-tone phone.

Mail your registration form, fees, and either a letter signed by your cleric on letterhead stationery confirming your affiliation with a recognized religious body whose convictions prevent you from testing on Saturday or a copy of your military duties. Your registration must be received by the Monday registration deadline listed on the back cover of this Bulletin.

You will be assigned to the closest available center within 125 miles of locations that are scheduled for Saturday test dates. No standby testing is permitted. IF YOUR PRIMARY LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH (PLNE) Nonstandard test accommodations (extended testing time) may be available for test takers whose primary language is not English. Test takers who meet E T S requirements will be allowed 50 percent additional testing time. Because of the time needed to review documentation and limited space and test materials at the test center, PLNE accommodations are NOT available for emergency registration. Once PLNE accommodations are approved, test changes and/or additions, or test center changes, are not permitted. How to Register for PLNE Your request must include the following: 1. A completed Certification of Documentation form (page 13). The Program has the right to request further verification, if needed, of the professional's credentials and expertise relevant to the Certification of Documentation form. An embossed school seal must be affixed over the signature on the Certification of Documentation form or the signature must be notarized. 2. A completed Eligibility Form for Test Takers Whose Primary Language Is Not English (page 14). It is necessary to complete this form each time you register for PLNE accommodations. 3. A completed registration form and appropriate fees. All materials must be submitted together and received at E T S by the LATE registration deadlines listed on the registration calendar on the back cover of this Bulletin. Requests received at E T S after these dates, incomplete requests, and requests received on outdated forms will be returned to you unprocessed. All documentation must be approved before the test administration date. The Program will make every effort to evaluate all requests in a timely manner. 7 REGISTRATION INFORMATION (continued) If further verification of the professional's credentials and expertise relevant to the documentation submitted is needed, it is possible that testing will be delayed until the next applicable test date. Because of E T S's need to review documentation in order to provide accommodations, all test takers must register through E T S. Special Instructions for Completing the Registration Form Refer to the registration calendar on the back cover of this Bulletin to select your test date and check this date on your registration form. You may register only for a PLNE test date. PLNE is offered on the following test dates: September 12, 2009; January 9, 2010; April 24, 2010; and June 12, 2010. Using the PLNE Test Center List on the SLS website, write the test center code, name, and location in the Test Center section of the registration form. Please pay particular attention to PLNE test locations. PLNE testing is not offered at all test centers. All documents must be sent together in an envelope to E T S-SLS, P.O. Box 382065, Pittsburgh, PA 15251-8065. E T S recognizes the right of individuals to confidentiality with regard to documentation supplied by and about them that may be stored in files held by E T S and the concomitant responsibility of E T S to safeguard information in its files from unauthorized disclosure. Reregistration If you have previously registered and your request for accommodations has been approved by E T S, you may request the same testing accommodations for subsequent test dates. To reregister, submit a completed Eligibility Form (page 14) indicating your candidate ID number and test date for which documentation was approved and on file at E T S, a registration form, and appropriate fees by the registration deadlines. You can also reregister by telephone (see below). If reregistering by phone, you do not need to submit the Eligibility Form. TESTING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES Testing outside the United States is available only if you need to take a test to be eligible for employment or certification. --To request a test center other than one of those listed on the SLS website, submit a letter with your registration form specifying the reason you need to take the test and the agency requiring the scores. --On the registration form, fill in the test date you want.

TELEPHONE REREGISTRATION Fee: 35 dollars (in addition to registration and test fees) This service is for those who have previously registered for a School Leadership Series test and wish to reregister by telephone. This service may be used to register for domestic centers only up until the late registration closing date. When registering for Monday testing, you may use this service until the Monday deadline (see back cover). EMERGENCY REGISTRATION Fee: 75 dollars (in addition to registration and test fees) This service is for test takers who need to register to test but have missed the regular and late registration deadlines. Emergency registration will guarantee test takers a seat at a test center. Because of the amount of time needed to review documentation, this service is not available for test takers who require nonstandard testing accommodations, PLNE accommodations, Monday testing, or those testing outside the continental U.S. Emergency Registration can ONLY be done on the SLS website at www.ets.org/sls. You may register for this service until the emergency registration deadline (see back cover). Standby testing is no longer permitted. CHANGING YOUR TEST CENTER OR TEST DATE Fee: 45 dollars If you wish to change your test center, call E T S by the EMERGENCY registration deadline listed on the back cover of this Bulletin. Test date change requests must be received no later than three full days prior to your test date. You can also download a Test Center and Date Change Request form from the SLS website at www.ets.org/sls and mail it to E T S along with the fee. If you registered for PLNE accommodations, you may not change your test center. If you are unable to request a test center change before the actual test date, you may go to your preferred site on the test day and make a request. If possible, you will be accommodated. However, if you wait until test day, we cannot guarantee that your request can be met. File Corrections Fee: 40 dollars After the test administration, score reports requiring corrections for date of birth, social security number, spelling of name, or other information will require file corrections. As a part of this service, you may have your scores sent to one institution or agency. --You may not change your name on the file, only correct the spelling. --If an adjustment to your social security number is required, please include a clear copy of your social security card. You may not change your social security number on file, only make corrections.

You do not need to submit a request for a refund. Test Retake Policy The School Leadership Series Program does not limit the number of times you can retake a test. However, some states, associations, and institutions may limit the number of times you can retest. Contact your state licensing agency to confirm their retest requirements. 8 ON THE TEST DAY Identification (ID) Requirements The identification (ID) requirements in this section must be read by all test takers. It is your responsibility to ensure that your ID documents are up-to-date and available on the day of the test. Your ID requirements depend on your country of citizenship and where you plan to test. Please read the specific information below for acceptable primary and supplemental ID documents. --You must have acceptable and valid ID with your name, signature, and photograph to be admitted to a test center. ID requirements are strictly enforced. --It is your responsibility to read and understand the ID requirements. It is not the responsibility of the registration or test center to relay these policies to you. --The photograph on your ID document must be recent and recognizable. --The ID must be current (not expired). --All documents must be originals; copies are not acceptable. --If you arrive at the test center without the required ID, you will not be permitted to test and you will forfeit your registration and test fees. When You Register --You must use the exact name and spelling of that name as shown on the primary ID document that you will present at the test center. If the name shown on your primary ID does not match the name on your registration record, you will not be permitted to test and a refund will not be issued. You will have to register again and pay a new registration and test fee. --Be sure to provide your entire first name (given name) and your entire last name (family name). Do not register under a nickname. If your ID document contains two last names, enter the names exactly as they appear on your ID. If you register by phone, please make sure you are registered under your complete name as it appears on your ID. At The Test Center --Only misspellings of your name can be corrected at the test center--NAME CHANGES WILL NOT BE MADE. If your name has changed for any reason, including marriage, you still must present primary ID in the name under which you registered, or you will not be permitted to test. Marriage certificates and divorce decrees cannot be used to confirm name differences. Please do not bring these documents to the test center. --If the first name on your primary ID document contains only a first initial, a supplemental ID containing your entire name must be presented. --If your ID does not contain your signature, either sign your ID document or present a supplemental ID that includes your signature. --If test center personnel question the ID document you present, you will be required to provide a second proof of identity. If positive confirmation cannot be made, you may be refused admission to the test center and you will forfeit your registration and test fees. --Test center personnel will check your ID before assigning you a seat at the test center and you may be asked to sign the test center log. The test administrator will check your name, signature, and photograph to verify that you are the person in your ID document(s). This procedure will be repeated before and after all breaks. --Admittance to the test center does not imply that your form of ID is valid or that your scores will be reported. All reported cases of questionable ID are subject to review and approval by the E T S Office of Testing Integrity either during or after the test administration. E T S reserves the right to withhold and/or cancel scores in the event the ID requirements set forth herein are not met. --Test centers are not required to hold your seat if you leave the center to obtain acceptable ID. Acceptable Primary ID Documents Testing in India You MUST present a valid passport with your name, photograph, and signature as your primary ID document. There are no exceptions to this policy. TESTING IN YOUR COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP Only one form of primary ID is needed if your primary ID document contains your name, photograph, and signature.

See "Acceptable Supplemental ID Documents" below. TESTING OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP --You must present a valid passport with your name, photograph, and signature as your primary ID document. (Citizens of European Union and Schengen Zone countries, see page 9.) If you do not meet this requirement, you may not be permitted to test. --U.S. military personnel may present their U.S. military ID cards. If a military ID card does not contain your name, a photograph and signature, a supplemental ID is required.

Before the test, you will be assigned a locker or receive instructions from the test center administrator regarding where you must store personal items. You may also be asked to empty your pockets. Storage space is limited, so plan accordingly. You may not have access to your personal items during the test or break. Not following any of these may result in you being dismissed from testing, and/or your scores may be canceled. Please note: possession of or use of telephones, cell phones, BlackBerry devices, PDAs, or other electronic or photographic devices is prohibited in the test center and will result in your dismissal from the test, forfeiture of your registration and test fees, and cancellation of your scores by E T S. --Test centers assume no responsibility for personal items that you choose to bring into the test center. --The test administrator will assign you a seat. --On occasion, weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the test administrator's or E T S's control may require a delayed start or the rescheduling of your test.

These materials are the property of E T S. DISMISSAL FROM A TEST CENTER A test administrator is authorized to dismiss you from a test session and/or your scores will be canceled by E T S for actions such as, but not limited to, the following: --attempting to take the test for someone else or having someone else take the test for you --failing to provide acceptable identification --obtaining improper access to the test, a part of the test, or information about the test --using or having a telephone, cell phone, PDA, BlackBerry(R) device, or other electronic or photographic device in your possession. Such devices are strictly prohibited at the test center.

If your scores are canceled, they will not be reported, and your registration and test fees will not be refunded. REGISTERING A COMPLAINT If you think conditions at the test center were such that you were unable to perform satisfactorily, you may cancel your score(s). You may also request a retest. However, E T S will investigate before responding to your request. Complaints need to be received in writing no later than seven (7) business days after the administration. Complaints received after this period will not be accepted. Please see page 5 for additional information. Also, please note that retests cannot be offered once scores for a specific test date have been reported. SCORES & SCORE REPORTS Reporting Your Test Scores If you test in Arkansas, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia, a copy of your scores will automatically be sent to that state's credentialing agency for school principals and superintendents. Your score report will be supplied to you online approximately four (4) weeks after your test date. You can view, print, and download your score report by accessing your SLS account on the dates indicated in the table on the last page of this bulletin. For each test date, a copy of your scores will be sent to up to three score recipients. (E T S reserves the right to refrain from sending score reports (1) to entities that have been found to violate the Guidelines for Proper Use of The Praxis Series and Related Assessments and (2) to entities against which complaints of violation have been made pending completion of E T S's inquiry into the claimed violations.) In order for your attending institution (college or university where you received training that most closely relates to the test(s) you are taking) to receive a copy of your score report, you MUST list that institution as a score recipient. Individual score reports are NOT sent to attending institutions unless they are designated as a score recipient. Your scores for a specific test will be sent to a designated recipient only if that institution or agency is eligible to receive those test scores. Score reports will list your current score and highest score you have ever earned on the School Leaders Licensure Assessment or the School Superintendent Assessment. You will receive passing score information on your score report for those score recipients or the state agency designated on your registration form. If you list an institution as a score recipient, you will receive passing score information for the state agency in which the institution is located. Your score report will provide you with the passing score set by the credentialing agency for the School Leaders Licensure Assessment or School Superintendent Assessment and tell you whether or not you met that score. The passing score information is based on the most recent information The School Leadership Series program has for each agency. 11 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Score recipients you choose on the registration form and the Additional Score Report Request form will receive passing score information that is pertinent only to them. They will not receive passing score information for other agencies, associations, or organizations. Official score reports will not be released if you have an outstanding balance, which may include an outstanding balance for previous services from The School Leadership Series. Scores from the 2009-10 testing year will be available for reporting on additional score reports for ten years. Test taker background data will be retained for the same time period. Detailed information from current score reports is available for only three months after the scores are initially reported. For more information about your scores, you may download Understanding Your School Leadership Series Scores from the SLS website at www.ets.org/sls. Scoring Services SCORES BY PHONE Fee: 30 dollars per request Score reports from The School Leadership Series tests will be available approximately four (4) weeks after your test date. If you want to know your scores sooner, call any time on or after the dates below. Scores are available through this service for tests taken over the past 10 years. To use this service, you need to have your social security or candidate ID number, test date, and date-of-birth information. If you tested on September 12, 2009, call on or after October 9, 2009 If you tested on November 14, 2009, call on or after December 11, 2009 If you tested on January 9, 2010, call on or after February 5, 2010 If you tested on April 24, 2010, call on or after May 21, 2010 If you tested on June 12, 2010, call on or after July 9, 2010 ADDITIONAL SCORE REPORTS (ASRs) Fee: 40 dollars each At your request, E T S will send your scores and reportable background information to additional institutions or agencies. You may complete your request online at www.ets.org/sls, by mail, phone, or fax. To make an ASR request online, log in or set up an account on the SLS online registration site. Click on "Order Additional Score Reports" under "My Test Registrations and Orders" section. Follow the online instructions to complete your order. To request an ASR by mail or fax, download and complete the Additional Score Report form located on the Web at www.ets.org/sls. Telegram requests will not be processed. E T S will process your score report (indicating only the highest score earned on each test) within 10 working days after your request and payment are received. When you ask E T S to send additional score reports to institutions or agencies, you automatically authorize E T S to report your highest score. (Scores will be sent to a recipient only if that recipient is eligible to receive those scores.) If scores have not been reported from a current administration and you want the institutions or agencies listed on your Additional Score Report Request form combined with those listed on your registration form, check the appropriate box on the form. Current and highest scores will then be reported to all recipients requested. You will automatically receive a copy of your score report confirming that your score report was sent. SCORE VERIFICATION/REVIEW SERVICE Fee: 55 dollars SLLA (1011), 80 dollars SSA (1020) All constructed-response and essay readers have been carefully trained and follow strict scoring procedures. Each test that contains one or more constructed responses or essays is scored by more than one reader. However, if you feel that your score on the School Leaders Series Assessment and/or the School Superintendent Assessment does not accurately reflect your performance, you may request a score review of your test. To have a score reviewed, download and complete the Score Verification Request form from the SLS website at www.ets.org/sls and send it to E T S with the proper fee. Your request must be received within four months of the test date. If there is a change in your reported score, the revised score (which may be higher or lower than your originally reported score) will be reported to you and to the recipients of the original score, and your verification fee will be refunded. Your test books and answer sheets are not available for disclosure. Please note that your score for a specific test will be reviewed only once. Cancellation of Scores by You You may cancel your test scores if your written request is received at E T S within one week after the test date. (E T S cannot honor requests to have scores from previous test administrations deleted from your permanent records.) To cancel your scores, download and complete the Request for Score Cancellation form from the SLS website at www.ets.org/sls and send it to E T S. You will not receive a refund of any fee when you cancel your scores. Once scores have been canceled, they will not be reported, nor will they be reinstated on your record. Cancellation of Scores by E T S E T S strives to report scores that accurately reflect the performance of every test taker. Accordingly, E T S's standards and procedures for administering tests have two primary goals: giving test takers equivalent opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and preventing any test takers from gaining an unfair advantage over others. To promote these objectives, E T S reserves the right to cancel any test score when, in E T S's judgment, a testing irregularity occurs, there is an apparent discrepancy in a test taker's identification, the test taker engages in misconduct or plagiarism, or the score is invalid for another reason. Reviews of scores by E T S are confidential. When, for any of the above reasons, E T S cancels a test score that has already been reported, it notifies score recipients that the score has been canceled, but it does not disclose the reason for cancellation except when authorized to do so by the test taker and in certain group cases. Testing Irregularities "Testing Irregularities" refers to problems with the administration of a test. When testing irregularities occur, they may affect an individual or groups of test takers. Such problems include, without limitation, administrative errors (such as improper timing, improper seating, defective materials, and defective equipment); improper access to test content; and other disruptions of test administrations (such as natural disasters or other emergencies). When testing irregularities occur, E T S may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. When, in E T S's judgment, it is appropriate to do so, E T S gives affected test takers the opportunity to take the test again as soon as possible, without charge. 12 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Identification Discrepancies When, in E T S's judgment, or the judgment of test center personnel, there is a discrepancy in a test taker's identification, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center. In addition, E T S may decline to score the test or cancel the test score if the documents completed on test day cannot be authenticated. If scores are canceled by E T S, the test fees will not be refunded. Misconduct When E T S or test center personnel find that there is misconduct in connection with a test, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center, or E T S may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with the "Test Center Procedures and Regulations," pages 9-10 of this Bulletin. Test takers whose scores are canceled will forfeit their registration and test fees. No record of score cancellations, or the reason for cancellation, will appear on their future score reports sent to colleges and universities. Invalid Scores E T S may also cancel scores if, in its judgment, there is substantial evidence that they are invalid for any other reason. Evidence of invalid scores may include, without limitation, discrepant handwriting, unusual answer patterns, and inconsistent performance on different parts of the test. Before canceling scores pursuant to this paragraph, E T S notifies the test taker in writing about its concerns, gives the test taker an opportunity to submit information that addresses E T S's concerns, considers any such information submitted, and offers the test taker a choice of options. The options include voluntary score cancellation, a free retest, or arbitration in accordance with E T S's standard Arbitration Agreement. In addition, the test taker is sent a copy of a booklet, Why and How Educational Testing Service Questions Test Scores, which explains this process in greater detail. (This booklet is available to any test taker at any time on request from the E T S Office of Testing Integrity. Call 1-800-353-8570 or e-mail TSReturns@ets.org.) Note: The retest option is available only to test takers in the United States and Canada. The arbitration option is available only for tests administered in the United States. Your essay responses on the writing section will be reviewed by experienced essay readers during the scoring process. E T S reserves the right to cancel test scores of any test taker when there is substantial evidence that an essay response includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: --text that is substantially similar to that found in one or more School Leaders Licensure Assessment and/or School Superintendent Assessment essay responses; --quoting or paraphrasing, without attribution, language or ideas that appear in published or unpublished sources; --unacknowledged use of work that has been produced through collaboration with others without citation of the contribution of others; --essays that are submitted as work of the test taker when the ideas or words have, in fact, been borrowed from elsewhere or prepared by another person. When one or more of the above circumstances occurs, your essay text, in E T S's professional judgment, does not reflect the independent writing skills that this test seeks to measure. Therefore, E T S must cancel the essay score as invalid and cannot report The School Leadership Series test scores, of which the essay score is an indispensable part. Confidentiality of Information E T S recognizes your right to control the information about you that is stored by E T S. Its policies are designed to safeguard your information from unauthorized disclosure. Your score report is intended only for you and for your designated score recipients. However, background information as noted on the registration form is reported to some states and institutions. To protect your right to control the distribution of your scores, reports will be released only at your specific request and only to E T S-approved score recipients. E T S will not release your scores at the request of institutions or agencies except --for use in research studies approved by The School Leadership Series and that preserve your anonymity --when information is required under compulsion of legal processes --when a state's central regents office or board of governors requests copies of scores that have been reported to its member institutions --when test takers at a regular or special administration have been informed by the administrator beforehand that their scores will automatically be released to the state --when test takers have been notified in the Bulletin that a particular state requiring scores has arranged for all individuals tested in that state to have their scores sent directly from E T S --when a branch institution requests scores previously sent to its main office or vice versa Official score reports for properly designated recipients are sent directly from E T S to ensure the authenticity of the reports. Note that whenever E T S has confirmed that you have submitted a School Leadership Series Assessment score directly to an educational institution, agency, or district in satisfaction of one of its requirements, E T S will respond to requests for score verification from that recipient. Test Takers' Performance Data Test takers' performance data may be used in analysis samples, score interpretation data, group statistics, and research studies. Test takers' constructed responses may be used in E T S materials to train scorers, to help score recipients interpret scores, or to help test takers prepare for the test. In each instance, all identifying information will be removed. 13 The form fields in this next form are identified between the less than and greater than sign.
