Principal Checklist

IAR is more complicated than tests we have administered in the past. It is important that principals familiarize themselves with this new genre of testing. The following checklist has been created to provide you with the minimum of what needs to be done for IAR to be successful.

Student Refusal to test form

IAR parent refusal to test information for Principals

Pre IAR letter to send home (is also in virtual backpack)

PLEASE make sure that you review with staff:

• Review IAR/PARCC presentation with staff (Full presentation -Principal and LTA)

  • Administering the IAR/PARCC Assessment Presentation (this is the LTA part from the full presentation-administering assessment piece only)

• understand secure documents protocol

• understand what "Proctoring a test" means

Checklist for Principals

1. Go through the IAR/PARCC tutorial. Encourage staff to view it as well.

• • Click here to go to the TestNAV 8 Tutorial (All principals, teachers and students who participate in PARCC testing should go through this)

2. Provide Time to LTAs to train staff how to run IAR.

3. Make a testing schedule (indicating in general when IAR testing will occur)

• • Make sure to identify who your proctors will be. Keep in mind, only certified staff may be test proctors

  • Select an IAR point person through whom communications will flow.

  • You can use the format displayed in IAR logistics or another format if you prefer

4. Review Personal Needs Profiles

•     Step-by-step instructions for reviewing student PNPs through the IAR website:

  • Reports

  • Operational Reports

  • Students and Registrations-PNP report (choose all)

5. Everyone administering the IAR test needs to sign the Security Agreement. This needs to be kept for 3 years.

Thank you for all that you do.
