• Conduct or coordinate required test administration and security training sessions for staff before each testing window, documenting attendance and completion.
• Ensure appropriate testing accommodations are scheduled and implemented for students with IEPs, 504 Plans, and EL/multilingual learners in accordance with each student's documented plan and NCDPI accommodations policy.
• Coordinate make-up testing, alternate settings, small-group and individual administrations, and any needed accessibility features or assistive technology.
• Monitor testing rooms and administration practices throughout each testing window to identify and correct procedural concerns before they become security violations.
• Investigate, document, and immediately report any suspected testing irregularities, security breaches, or ethics violations to the Principal and District Test Coordinator, in accordance with NCDPI incident-reporting procedures.
• Ensure accurate student enrollment, demographic, and test-eligibility data is verified in the student information system prior to each administration.
• Coordinate scanning, packaging, and timely return of answer documents and secure materials to the district in accordance with NCDPI shipping and return deadlines.
• Assist the Principal and District Test Coordinator in the analysis and communication of school-level assessment results to staff, students, and families.
• Maintain all required testing documentation (security checklists, seating charts, irregularity reports, training rosters, accommodation logs) for the retention period required by NCDPI and the district.
• Stay current on changes to NCDPI testing policies, administration manuals, and the annual Testing Code of Ethics, and communicate updates to school staff in a timely manner.
• Perform other testing-related duties as assigned by the Principal or District Test Coordinator.
• Other duties as assigned by supervisor.

Minimum Qualifications
