Test Proctoring/Attendance
Verification of an adult actively proctoring an APEX test/exam is critical to the academic integrity of the program. To accomplish this:
The classroom teacher who is actively proctoring during the school day will take attendance during class.
The after school teacher who is actively proctoring will take positive attendance during after school APEX.
The staff member who is actively proctoring at lunch, outside of a students regularly scheduled class location, or during a time period when school is not in session (ex. Winter break) will document in the PLP when a test/exam is proctored and select Grad Completion Testingin the drop down PLP menu for reporting purposes.
Proctoring APEX via Zoom
Because of the various learning experiences of CCS students (full day CCP, Non -Grads, home instruction, workforce readiness experiences, etc.), not all students attend classes at a CCS school and therefore it is challenging to get their APEX tests/exams proctored. In order to meet the needs of our students, teachers supervising APEX may actively proctor tests/exams via Zoom one student at a time as long as all four steps are completed prior to testing:
The teacher enters the date and time the test is proctored into the student’s PLP and selects Grad Completion Testing in the drop down PLP menu,
The student has his/her camera on to confirm the student’s identity,
The student completes the Code of Conduct prior to each test, and
The student shares their screen while taking the test and the teacher monitors for any unusual behaviors (ex. student sitting inactive for long periods of time, student talking with others during a text/exam, students completing the test in an unusually short period of time). Expected testing times are listed for each test which can be used to compare the amount of time it took to complete the test. If the teacher experiences any concerning testing situations, the teacher will lock the test immediately, document the situation in the student’s PLP, and that student can only test face-to-face for future assessments.
