Hall and Room Monitor
Hall and room monitors assist with test administration duties. The responsibilities for these monitors are essentially the same, but they could be positioned in either the testing room or hallway. Monitors don't administer the test, but they’ll have access to Test Day Toolkit to help report irregularities and help proctors as needed. They can be a current professional or a member of administrative, secretarial, or clerical staff.
Responsibilities include:
- Help set up the school for testing.
- Direct students to their assigned rooms and to the restrooms.
- Answer students' questions.
- Monitor the testing room, hallways, and restrooms for student misconduct, such as using prohibited devices or sharing information. Students shouldn’t talk during breaks.
- Ensure students in the school who aren’t participating in testing don't interrupt or distract testing rooms and students during their breaks.
- Serve as liaison between testing rooms, the technology monitor, and the test coordinator.
- Submit IRs in Test Day Toolkit, if needed.
Some differences in responsibilities include:
Hall Monitors
- Keep the testing area free of noise and distractions
- Watch for suspicious behavior
- Direct students to break area, restroom, or help room and monitor their breaks
- Help students, proctors, and other staff
Room Monitors
- Keep the testing room free of distractions
- Watch for raised hands in the testing room and look out for prohibited behavior
- Admit students returning from break
- May need to help dismiss students after testing
