Test Security Training

In lieu of the annual in-person Test Security Training, OSSE has released seven pre-recorded Test Security Modules to serve as the official Test Security Training for LEA and Nonpublic Coordinators. These training modules cover test security information for both in-person and remote administration. The complete viewing of the modules is required for all LEA Assessment Coordinators, including those responsible for ACCESS and Alternate ACCESS, MSAA, and PARCC. Upon completion of the modules, LEA coordinators are required to complete a quiz and certification form, verifying that they have viewed all content. A score of 80 percent or higher on the quiz will serve as the official attendance and completion of 2021 Test Security Training.

All training modules videos and PowerPoint presentations are located on OSSE’s Test Security and Incident Report webpage. OSSE advises that users use the video and PowerPoint presentations together, as any links or folders mentioned in the video can be accessed using the hyperlinks in the PowerPoint presentation.
