REGENTS EXAMINATIONS

For the Regents in January and June, teachers will be expected to proctor examinations.  Lists of those people proctoring examinations and other instructions will be prepared by the administration and delivered to teachers in advance of the examinations.

Every person acting in the capacity of a proctor for Regents examinations will be responsible for familiarizing himself/herself with the information in the booklet, "Regents Examinations, Regents Competency Tests, and Proficiency Examinations." These booklets are available in the Main Office and should be kept in the faculty handbook. It is every proctor's responsibility to provide sufficient time to become familiar with the information in this booklet before the beginning of the Regents examination period.

In addition, the following procedures must be strictly adhered to:

·              No proctor or staff member is permitted to remove any examination from the vault in the

main office at any time. An administrator or their designee will deliver examinations to

the exam site.  Resource Room teachers will have exams delivered to them by an administrator.

·              No proctor or staff member should open an examination booklet prior to the students' commencement of the exam.

·              The teacher dictation copies, for those Regents examinations that test listening skills or auditory

comprehension, will be distributed one hour before the scheduled starting time to the teachers who will

administer the examination. This will give the teachers sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the

materials in the teacher dictation copies before the beginning of the examinations. These teachers should

report to the conference room in the main office to receive their dictation copies. They will remain there

until accompanied to the exam site by an administrator or their designee. This procedure also applies for

translators appointed by the principal.

·              Teachers and proctors are expected to get supplies paper, calculators, etc.) from the office and see that

the examination rooms are unlocked on time.

·              Report any absences to the office immediately.  The building secretaries will contact students who are not at the testing site.

·              Teachers are responsible to familiarize themselves with other SED publications on the administering and

scoring of examinations in their particular subject area. These publications will be available several days

in advance of the Regents examination period.
