In-Person Training:
Cambridge TSI Practice for ECHS
I designed and delivered in-person training to new proctors for a successful first-testing administration.
Tools: PowerPoint, OneDrive, Excel
Challenges
Killeen Early College High School (ECHS) received funding to pilot a program for the district.
In 1 week, all freshman teachers needed to successfully proctor Cambridge’s TSI practice assessment for over 200 freshman.
The assessment data would inform ECHS’s remediation program for the TSI.
Most students had recently taken the TSI, decreasing motivation for another practice test.
Objectives
Proctor Objectives
Have efficient, practical training with an in-person tutorial and handouts with step-by-step instructions for test day.
Successfully proctor all freshmen on test day.
Organization Objectives
Have all freshmen successfully test.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the program in supporting the goal of having all students pass the TSI.
Student Objectives
Have a compelling reason to take the practice assessment seriously.
Successfully test, resulting in usable data.
Results
Performance Results:
1st-time proctors successfully proctored the practice exam of over 200 freshmen, as demonstrated by real-time, remote observation of the testing dashboard.
Students took the exam seriously and produced usable data, as indicated by a high percentage of students demonstrating scores on the proctored practice exam comparable to or higher than how they performed prior on the real TSI test.
The organization was able to use the data on the proctored exam to determine whether or not the piloted program would support the remediation plan.
See my process below for accomplishing these performance results.

Test-Day Results
Identifying a point of contact helped meet the organization’s objective of successful administration of all freshmen.
I collected, analyzed, evaluated, and presented test result data in relation to organization objectives.
Based on the data, the organization evaluated the viability of the program.
