Lesley Maxim, Testing Supervisor, Chicago
About this Workshop:
Emergency Preparedness for Standardized Testing Implementation provides you with strategic knowledge and tactical resources to prepare for, and recover from, any emergency or disaster in your standardized testing routine. The events following the "9-11" terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina show that government and private agencies are not as collectively ready as they could be to effectively prepare, mitigate, respond and recover from a crisis of significant proportion. And nothing is more critical to the nation's well-being than Adequate Yearly Progress on standardized tests.
This course will help you create, or improve, your organization-wide standardized testing emergency management plan to ensure all procedures are in place and all equipment and personnel needs are addressed so you can respond to an emergency situation quickly and instinctively. These performance processes are becoming more important, and may eventually be recognized (or mandated) by the federal government.
In addition, you will receive electronic and paper handouts which will provide you with a take-home, strategic "guide" to help you in your deliberate emergency planning.
Facilities are not yet where they need to be to properly handle a crisis - whether it be a terrorist attack or internal meltdown. Knowing how to protect your most vital test-taking procedures should be your number one priority. Attend this very important seminar to protect your most important assets.
