Test Administrator Training
All test administrators for all state assessments are required to be trained for each state assessment they will administer. To support test coordinators, RIDE has developed a Test Administrator Core Training that covers topics applicable across all state assessments.
The presentation is editable so that schools can include information about their cell phone policy, process for tracking secure materials, testing calendars, and any other test administration information specific to their school.
Please note that this training is a core training and intended to supplement assessment-specific materials and administration information. It does not take the place of any online training modules required for test administrators prior to administering certain assessments.
