NYSAA ELA, Math & Science Administration Training for New Test Administrators
February 3, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm EST
$50Cost: $50 per participant
Lunch NOT provided
Although the training is scheduled for a half day, staff is welcome to stay beyond 12:00 if they would like assistance with or the time to complete the Personal Needs Profile and First Contact Survey required for each student taking the NYSAA exam.
This training is being held much later than usual, allowing more time for student and staff uploads into Educator Portal and for Building Test Administrators to create rosters. This also allows for the added benefit of occurring closer to the actual testing period.
Before attending the training:
All staff will need to have rosters created and students assigned before the training.
