Administer TasksDescription
If a school is using common tasks as one measure of a student's proficiency, it must follow a standard procedure for administering these tasks. The Rhode Island Skills Commission protocol is one such procedure. This protocol can also be used for administering end of year assessments or course performance-based tasks to ensure reliability and consistency throughout the school.

Guide for Administration of Common Tasks
The Rhode Island Skills Commission and its network schools developed this document. It represents one approach; you may choose to adopt it or may prefer to explore other approaches. This document describes the administration of tasks, one of several steps in task implementation. It is important to follow a protocol that ensures the validity and reliability of tasks as well as fairness in the administration of common tasks.
You may use this procedure directly or modify it to meet your needs. However the overall process is important to maintain the validity of your common tasks.
