Active Monitoring• Monitoring during test administrations is the
responsibility of the test administrator, the campus test coordinator, the campus principal, and the district test coordinator.– Teachers are required to actively monitor students during testing.
– Principals and Campus Test Coordinators are required to actively monitor testing sessions at their campus.
– The district testing coordinator is required to ensure that testing sessions at all campuses within the district are monitored.
• A team of central office personnel trained to monitor testing sessions will be used to assist the district testing coordinator in monitoring campus testing sessions. Every testing session will be actively monitored.
2010
What Is Active Monitoring?
Watching students during testing. The focus of the teacher’s attention is on the students and not elsewhere.
– Walking around to better observe what students are doing. (Are students; working on correct section of test, marking answers on the answer document, not cheating, not using cell phones, not talking or communicating with other students, etc.?)
2010
What is NOT Active Monitoring?
• Anything that takes the test administrator’s attention away from the students during testing. Examples include;– Working on the computer or doing email.– Reading a book, magazine, or newspaper.– Grading papers or doing lesson planning.– Leaving the room without another trained test
administrator in the room.– Leaving students unattended during lunch or breaks.
• Be sure to not read the test content over a student’s shoulder and do not examine specific student responses during testing, since doing these will be a test security violation committed while active monitoring.
