Intended Audience

This 3-hour workshop provides the training required for NAPLAN Coordinators in schools that are conducting the NAPLAN Online School Readiness Test in August 2017.

It is highly recommended for two participants from each school to be trained, to provide support for each other up to and during the test window, 21 August – 1 September.

While this training will be based initially on refreshment of earlier training, it will provide a valuable opportunity for NAPLAN Online Coordinators to network and share their experiences and insights into managing online assessments in their schools.

Focus

There will be a multiple focus:

• A supported opportunity to follow through all procedures in the various phases of preparation and conduct of tests in the NAPLAN online assessment platform
  
• Thorough re-acquaintance with the accessibility adjustments that will be available for students in the 2017 School Readiness Test
  
• Guidelines for preparing teachers to be Test Administrators using the 2017 online assessment platform and test protocols, supported by re-developed training materials
  

Participants are encouraged to do some tests from the NAPLAN Online public demonstration site before attending their workshop. Those tests are available for each year level at http://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/naplan-online/naplan-online-public-demonstration-site

Please bring your own laptop, if it can access the internet outside your school. There will be laptops available as ‘student devices’ which have had the NAP secure locked down browser installed.
