Illinois Assessment
of
Readiness
Security Agreement
The content
of
the
IAR
assessment
is
confidential and must
be
kept secure at all times. Maintaining
the
security
of
test materials
is
critical
in
order
to
obtain valid results from the test. Accordingly, each individual authorized
to
administer the
IAR
assessment
or
have
access
to
test materials, including Technology Coordinators,
or
those authorized
to
observe administration, must
sign
this
security agreement and agree
to
the
statements below. Failure
to
abide by
the
terms
of
the
agreement may result
in
sanctions by
ISBE
including (but
not
limited to) score invalidation
or
employment and licensure consequences.
For
School
Test
Coordinators
• I will establish and carry
out
an
IAR
security plan.
• I will provide training
in
IAR's
test security, administration policies, and procedures
to
all individuals involved
in
test
administration.
• I will establish a system for documenting the chain-of-custody
of
secure test materials, and I will keep all test materials
locked
in
a secure storage area
with
limited
access
when they are not
in
use.
• I will follow all security policies and test administration protocols described
in
the
Test
Coordinator
Manual
(TCM).
For
School
Test
Coordinators,
Technology
Coordinators,
Test
Administrators,
Proctors,
and
Authorized
Observers
• I will not view test content
or
student responses except
if
necessary
to
administer certain accommodations.
• I will not reproduce test content or student responses
in
any way (e.g., photographing, copying by hand, typing, texting
from cell phone, or photocopying).
• I will not reveal
or
discuss test content or student responses before, during,
or
after testing.
• I will not engage
in
any activity
that
adversely affects
the
validity, security,
or
fairness
of
the test.
• I will promptly report any testing irregularities
or
concerns
(as
specified in
the
TCM
and
Test
Administrator
Manual
[TAM]).
• I will follow
the
procedures
as
specified in
the
TCM
and
TAM
regarding the disposition
of
all test materials.
For
Test
Administrators
and
Proctors
• I will complete training necessary
to
understand
IAR's
test security and administration policies and procedures.
• I will keep test materials under my supervision at all times, and I will
not
leave them unattended.
• I will prepare the testing room
so
that
no student
can
view another student's test materials
or
computer screen, and
so
that
inappropriate visual aids are removed
or
covered before testing.
• I will supervise the students at all times and focus my full attention on
the
testing environment, and
■
Not allow students
to
talk,
pass
notes,
cause
disturbances,
or
communicate
with
each other
in
any way during
testing.
■
Not allow students
to
access
cell phones or other unapproved electronic devices during testing.
■
Not allow students
to
access
notes, books, or any instructional materials during testing.
■
Ensure
that
students provide answers
that
are strictly
their
own and do
not
participate
in
any form
of
cheating.
■
Not coach students
in
any way
or
do anything
to
enhance, alter, or interfere
with
their responses.
• I will follow
the
chain-of-custody procedures
for
all test materials, including scratch paper,
as
specified
in
the
TAM
and
by my School
Test
Coordinator.
• Some testing accommodations require a
Test
Administrator
to
view, read,
or
transcribe test content or student
responses.
If
I
am
administering
such
an
accommodation, I will
not
disclose any test content
that
I view
in
the course
of
providing the accommodation.
• I will follow all security policies and test administration protocols described
in
the
TAM.
I have read the
IAR
Security Agreement and understand my role in this test administration.
