"As we strive to implement the ASCA Model, we also have a Testing Coordinator and an AP for Curriculum and Instruction. These two persons mainly collaborate and order materials as well as create a testing schedule. Faculty Council has input and also APs will review the proposal to make sure it is doable."

One Admin is the Testing Coordinator but we split the tests up among the admin.

Lean heavily on the school's testing coordinator. Admin team communicates often to make sure we're all on the same page.

Order/open online portfolio with College Board so students can begin uploading their work as it becomes complete. Invest time in preregistration. Build a manilla folder for each student to include labelling that makes coordination with the home school easier. Determine which location will issue the student packet. Call college board with questions, or just to remind yourself about what you need to do. Keep a log of calls. Coordinate early with Building Services to secure the testing room, desks and equipment. Test and retest audio and recording equipment. Have a plan in case your testing is interrupted with something unexpected. Share that plan with the students prior to testing. Have a trained back-up proctor. Congratulate the students when they finish.

We schedule the gymnasium, and one hall for accommodations, to hold testing for the SAT and ACT tests. We make sure that the AP, EOC, and senior tests do not overlap. Finally we work the schedule and check with teachers to make sure there are no mistakes before finally publishing the schedule.

We have an AP that serves as the test coordinator and another that serves as back-up.  The AP works closely with guidance to establish accurate lists, gather information about accommodations, place orders, and organize materials.  Communication is also a large piece of the process while developing schedules, planning the use of the facility and adjusting the daily routines.  Most products are reviewed by multiple parties prior to publication and implementation.

Adjust the baseline to add a testing coordinator...it is well worth it. That individual is the center of all testing and develops effective and efficient testing schedules. She works with one assigned administrator to ensure sound practices and compliance.

During our weekly administrative team meeting, we have a standing item that consists of testing that we discuss each week. Our testing coordinator assists with securing testing rooms, training the teachers along with the Instructional Coach and getting the students ready for testing. Several people look over the rosters including SPED teachers and administrators to make sure the roster is correct. It takes a total team effort in our building to prepare for Spring testing.

After the required training, students participants are identified as well as potential proctors. After proctors are trained, logistics are created for supervised testing spaces of every single student. Communications through phone blast, emails, marquee, and PA announcements informs community and students about the importance of the testing day. Testing materials locked away until precoding or the actual test date.

Divide all testing amongst administrators to allow them to gain site testing coordinator experience.

Have teachers check the plan before publishing.
Use social media and other tools to communicate with students, parents, and coaches.
Don't forget the invaluable services that the plant engineer/custodial staff provide in preparing the testing environment.

Scheduling and organizing testing requires a team of individuals even though one person maybe the lead.  It helps to have more people eyeball the plan to poke holes in it before it is publicized. This includes SPED teachers, teachers being affected by testing, guidance, admin, clerical support staff, plant engineer and even cafeteria manager in case it impacts them. Getting accommodations in hand from special education teachers is imperative in a timely manner. This will help with the organizational aspect for accommodations.  Also using other schools as a resource to bounce ideas off and compare.

Testing is divided among APs.  We each work on test with guidance and special ed.  We each start early on to communicate as much as we can as early as we can to students, teachers, and parents.

Our Freshmen Academy AP looks at all the necessary components and then begins to develop a plan. He talks with the teachers involved to help set up a schedule and select dates they will be testing. He helps to organize review sessions as well as ensuring that materials are available; ie, making sure each student has access to a calculator on test day.

We have a testing coordinator that handles most of it. The 11th grade AP also helps with this and serves as the backup testing coordinator. This task takes a tremendous amount of time and organization. I am very thankful to have a testing coordinator on site!

The testing coordinator notifies the leadership team when testing is going to take place. The testing coordinator secures space for testing and in the case of AP testing it is performed off campus. Training is performed and the schedule is communicated to the entire school.

The admin team determines what dates to test on as recommended by the STC (an AP). Once the dates are solidified, the STC will build their own respective testing schedule (what classes, coverage, etc). The STCs train their own teachers and test administrators. STCs are responsible for communicating with SPED to determine accommodations. The schedule is communicated out early to the community and staff. Teachers are given a chance to provide input to the specific testing schedule at training. This is where any issues are trouble shooting or resolve any overlooked issues.

Meeting with special education teachers are held to provide instructions on receiving accommodations.  Teachers administering tests discuss schedule options with AP.  Administration team reviews schedules and selects one.

If testing is split with many people, you have to be strategic in who does what when. For example if you r admin over the Master Schedule is testing in Spring, both jobs require a lot of time, and neither would be done with great attention.

Utilize master teachers in your building to help plan organize the testing schedule.

No one person is in charge of all the tests. Each test is headed up by a different person. Helps narrow the focus.

The Testing Coordinator, who is also Student Council sponsor and teaches one class, supervises all testing.  It has been very helpful to have one person in charge!  She plans locations, accommodations, and all details involved. She is also a great communicator to all stakeholders, keeping it a very organized process.

# data[].attributes.body
The test Coordinator works collaboratively with the SPED Dept Chair and the admin team to review logistics and needs to make informed decisions on locations, bell schedules, training.

Having a test coordinator - who wears other hats, as well - is amazing. This person is a strong part of the administrative team and has the time to focus on accommodations and making sure they are met. He also has the organization of which teachers are proctoring and where students will test down. As an AP, it is a relief to know that this person has it under control.

Two administrators are assigned to testing. I have assisted at times, but not very much.

Tests are coordinated by multiple APs so no one person is responsible for all of testing.
