EOY MAP Testing Administration: May 16-17th, 2023
Please remember…
The testing environment you create should set up all students for success.
Benchmark testing is very high stakes for providing insight and opportunities to guide future instruction to prepare for the end-of-year assessment. Be sure to actively monitor to help ensure student success.
We need to plan and prepare for each testing block as we would plan for a class.
Successful Proctors
✓ Are always fully present
✓ Keep students aware of time remaining
✓ Remind students of expectations.
Cover Anchor Charts
Erase White Boards
Review Test Schedule and Testing Directions
Rearrange seating into individual sections, facing the board. No group seating is permitted during testing.
Pick up materials from the IST Office (213) between 7:30 a.m. -7:55 a.m.
Hang “DO NOT DISTURB” sign on your door.
Ensure that students Do not have access to cell phones, smart watches, any other smart device.
All students may get out a book and place it under their seat (in case they finish an exam early). Have students place backpacks against the front classroom wall.
Ensure that each student has a working computer and access to a computer charger.
Write START and END times on the board. the duration of the test is 4 hours.
Student Login: Ensure all students log in to Eduphoria using the link posted on the Advisory Google Classroom.
Provide students with a testing ticket with their login information (i.e., student username is student ID # and password is yellowstone123).
Take attendance using the room attendance roster and tape it to your door.
If they arrive after testing has begun, message Mrs. Fraser-McKnight via Google Meets or text message.
Create a seating chart.
Have students sign out and in on the restroom log included in your testing materials.
Respect the exact times that have been allocated for the exam.
Provide whole class reminders about time, such as the number of minutes remaining in a section. Record start and stop times on the board, along with occasional updates about time remaining. Provide a 5 minute warning.
Actively proctor during the entire time students are testing.
By making your presence felt in the classroom and circulating among students, you will let students know that you are taking the test as seriously as you are asking them to take it. This could be the push some students need in order to meet the goals they have set for themselves!
Encourage any students who finish early to go back and check their work.
Please encourage students to take their time while testing. Students may read when they are done, and you have collected all their testing materials and the computer is closed. Once testing materials have been collected, students cannot use their laptops until the end of the testing duration.
Check to ensure students have answered all questions and submitted the test before logging out of the test session.
