What is the test administration Handbook?

In an effort to standardize test administration procedures in all New York City elementary and middle schools, the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) developed this Test Administration Handbook.

Who is responsible for emergency test accommodations?

Principals are responsible for informing the Borough Assessment Implementation Directors (BAID) of all emergency test accommodations. SED regulations allow schools to provide the testing accommodations listed above to former ELLs for up to two years after students achieve a proficient score on the NYSESLAT.

What happens if a principal or administrator violates SED policy?

Any principal or administrator found to have done so, except in the specific circumstances cited in the School Administrator’s Manual, will be in violation of SED policy regarding the scoring of State examinations. Scores must be recorded at the time of the test administration. NYSITELL should be administered only once.

What are the disciplinary actions against teachers and administrators?

Teachers and administrators who engage in inappropriate conduct with respect to administering and scoring State examinations may be subject to disciplinary actions in accordance with Sections 3020 and 3020-a of Education Law or to action against their certification pursuant to Part 83 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.
