****There is separate training for NEW and Returning Coordinators and Examiners***
For NEW Coordinators/Examiners, who have not completed face to face training with NYSED, TASC™ Test Training will be held in NYC on October 23rd, 2018. This training is intended to give new hires a basic overview of the TASC Exam, but the focus will be on NYSED testing policies and procedures. All new and returning Examiners and Coordinators will need to participate in DRC/TASC’s webinar series each year.
In-Person Sessions for NEW Coordinators/Examiners:
NYC at the Mid-Manhattan Adult Learning Center on October 23rd, 2018 from 10:00am-3:00pm
Seats are limited; please register now by contacting HSE@NYSED.GOV for a registration form.
Returning examiners who have already had face to face training on JKL or earlier forms will be retrained via webinar. Multiple dates for live NYSED training webinars will be scheduled around the yearly release of new TASC test forms in December/January. Returning examiners and coordinators do not need to attend face to face JKL training.
It is best practice for new examiners and coordinators to “shadow” another examiner or coordinator prior to being trained. Additionally, all examiners and coordinators must view the DRC JKL webex series.
