Certification of Training for the SCIENCE North Dakota State Assessment (Fall 2018)

Pursuant to federal requirements, the ND Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) must ensure that North Dakota school districts conduct appropriate and sufficient training for all school personnel who supervise or administer the Science North Dakota State Assessment (NDSA).

The NDDPI provides this survey, which can be completed in less than 5 minutes, to certify and document that your school district has conducted training for the Fall 2018 Science NDSA administrative practices, as required in the Science NDSA Test Coordinator’s Manual. In the event of any testing irregularities, including but not limited to breaches of test security and loss of testing materials, this certification will be referenced in the subsequent monitoring and investigation.

This survey is to be completed by the school district administrator/superintendent or their designee who holds responsibility for the administration of the NDSA within the district (i.e., the school district testing coordinator). One survey must be completed for each school district and applies to all schools within the school district.

Instructions: Complete each of the following items. Review your responses and print a copy for your records before submitting the completed survey online. Questions regarding this survey should be directed to Bonnie Weisz, state NDSA Science Coordinator, at (701)328-1838 or bweisz@nd.gov.

Thank you for your careful attention to this matter.
