“There Has to Be a Better Way”: Bringing Sanity and Structure to Testing Season
For many test coordinators, the lead-up to spring assessments feels like organized chaos — endless spreadsheets, scattered emails, and the pressure to get everything right the first time. There’s no room for error and barely enough time to breathe.
In this Conversations with Educators webinar, you'll hear from test coordinators who’ve traded survival mode for something better. By implementing systems built specifically for test coordination, they’ve reduced stress, avoided costly mistakes, and brought consistency to every test session.
We’ll explore:
- The emotional toll of test coordination and how to lighten the load
- Real-world systems that save time, ensure accuracy, and support accommodations
- How structure will protect your people and improve retention
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is for you.
