- Organize and prepare the testing environment, ensuring materials, assistive devices, technology, and accessible seating arrangements are ready and functioning.
- Monitor the testing environment closely for irregularities, while remaining attentive to student needs such as anxiety, attention challenges, or behavioral escalations.
- Provide appropriate, non-instructional assistance to students—particularly those with special accommodations—while ensuring fairness and test security.
- Maintain accurate records of attendance, accommodations provided, and any incidents that occur during testing sessions.
- Collaborate with special education staff, case managers, and classroom teachers to ensure accurate implementation of testing accommodations.
- Uphold confidentiality with all student information, including disability status and accommodation needs.

- Familiarity with classroom management techniques and trauma-informed practices is advantageous.
- Experience in secondary education or standardized testing environments is a plus.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining a calm, structured testing environment.
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, to effectively interact with diverse groups of students and staff.
