[Counselors] Fw: Re[2]: QUESTION: OAM

Sat Mar 29 09:42:58 CDT 2014

I called the company about accommodations for special students and also got an answer that led me to believe they did not know what I was talking about.  I also found out that we have to provide monitors for these field test.  We have a difficult time finding people to monitor the real test!!  Scheduling around daytime athletics events, band, and end of the year events-not to mention sharing computer labs for EOI and Middle School testing with other buildings, (which displaces the teachers and students who use that lab as their daily classroom) is a nightmare!!!
My favorite is that they threaten me with taking my certificate if something goes wrong on my end, yet they send weekly emails of mistakes they have made.   I'm sure a team of more than one!!!!!

And they say the Writing test can't be read aloud to IEP students---not sure they know what they're talking about.  And those materials come during OCCT testing.  How many people do they think are building test coordinators because I can only stretch so far.  Evidently they have no idea how long it takes to box tests up and mail back.  After a certain point, our schedule is filled with end of year activities that we cannot all of a sudden cancel or reschedule.  Yes!  Rant, Rant, Rant!  Gail Fine, Sallisaw
