New Coordinator Training
Register here for the next session of the CDE’s New Coordinator Webinar series on 4/21/22 at 3 p.m. This session will focus on “Preparing for Scores”. Participants will learn about the preparations necessary to receive assessment scores. This one-hour training will include a review of upcoming tasks on the coordinator checklist, the details of preparing for summative assessment results, and a Q&A session with experienced coordinators.
Reporting in STAIRS
When a site coordinator is unsure whether an issue should be reported in the Security and Test Administration Incident Reporting System (STAIRS), the first step is to consult the ELPAC Security Incidents and Appeals Procedure Guide. If the specific issue cannot be found in the chapter “Testing Incident Definitions,” the site coordinator should contact the LEA test coordinator for assistance in determining whether the issue should be reported in STAIRS. If the LEA coordinator is unsure whether to report the issue, they should contact their LEA success agent. The 3/25/22 Assessment Spotlight highlights examples circumstances that do not require reporting through the STAIRS/appeals process.
Get Answers
Get Answers is a new, user-friendly tool to help LEA ELPAC coordinators get answers quickly to the most commonly asked testing questions. This tool functions similarly to other search engines and incorporates information previously found in the FAQs on the ELPAC website as well as many new commonly asked questions. Users can also go to the Additional Questions for FAQ web page to suggest new questions to be included in the tool. Although the questions found in Get Answers generally are geared toward LEA coordinators, anyone can use this self-service tool!
