Statewide Assessment Training

On this page, you can find information about all test coordination and test administration training sessions and online resources.

Test Coordinator Resources

All test coordinators are required to participate in the RI State Assessment Program (RISAP) General Policies Overview training in addition to the test coordinator trainings for the state assessments that will be administered in their district/school.

  • 2023-24 RISAP Training Calendar: (posted 9.22.23)This document contains all training information, including registration links, for district and school test coordinators and any other district and school administrators and teachers involved in preparing for and administering the Rhode Island State Assessments.

Test Administrator Training

All test administrators for all state assessments are required to be trained for each state assessment they will administer. To support test coordinators, RIDE has developed a Test Administrator Core Training that covers topics applicable across all state assessments.

The presentation is editable so that schools can include information about their cell phone policy, process for tracking secure materials, testing calendars, and any other test administration information specific to their school.

Please note that these core trainings are required and intended to supplement assessment-specific materials and administration information. They do not take the place of any online training modules required for test administrators prior to administering assessments. Sections of these presentations can be edited by administrators to include district and school policies and procedures that all test administrators should know before testing begins.
