Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow

August 31, 2013

Dear Sir or Madam:

Throughout the year, Peach County Schools administer various state tests. Proctors are needed to volunteer to help monitor and assist with testing. Proctors must attend a test administration training session and understand and agree to fulfill the duties of a proctor. As a proctor, you must do your part to help the test administrator ensure that the test scores of the students are the result of an ethical and fair test administration. Proctors are not allowed to proctor in the classrooms of their children or relatives. Some duties and responsibilities of proctors are listed below.

·  Participates in training.

·  Assumes responsibility for assigned students.

·  Monitors testing site and remains in testing site during entire testing time.

·  With Examiner supervision, assists in preparing test materials for distribution

·  With examiner supervision, answers questions regarding test procedures but does not explain items or answer any questions regarding the content of the test.

·  With examiner supervision, observes students during test to monitor that they are: (a) marking answers completely and correctly; (b) choosing only one answer per item; (c) marking answers which have the same number as the corresponding item number in the booklet; (d) using only specified test materials; (e) not using calculators unless permitted on specific subtests; and (f) using appropriate materials such as correct test forms and answer documents.

·  Reports any unusual circumstances to Examiner immediately (e.g., suspicion of cheating).

·  Circulates among students during testing to discourage misconduct and to be available to answer student questions.

·  Monitors students with disabilities, 504 students, or ELL students who may require closer observation than other students or who need special assistance.
