Your Job • To know everything about the state mandated testing program – literally everything • To make sure there are absolutely no testing irregularities in your district or on your campus. • To make sure you do not inconvenience any teacher with a training schedule that requires them to miss any of their duty free allotted time.
Your Job • To be available 24/7 to answer your superintendents questions concerning scores, accountability and what rating you are predicting for the district. • To talk to any parent at any time about their child’s needs during testing. • To predict that your campus coordinators really need some Large Print booklets and multiple form 1’s even though they failed to order them. DO YOU ACCEPT THIS JOB?
HOW DO YOU LEARN IT ALL? • It takes a village • There are many roles and responsibilities associated with testing and you are not responsible for everything!!!! • Let me say that again. You are not responsible for everything! • Ask for what you need. • If you start out being Superman it is very hard not to wear the cape forever.
