In the Trenches of Testing: An Interview with School-based Testing Coordinators

Research shows that the way assessments are administered plays a crucial role in ensuring their validity and reliability. In this episode, we sit down with three district Testing Coordinators—Lorrie Sardiello from Northwoods ES, Susan Cherry from Oberlin MS, and Joshua Gurkin from Apex HS—to unpack their role in the assessment cycle. We explore how they support test administration, empower both students and teachers, and contribute to building assessment literacy across their schools. Whether you're a new Testing Coordinator or a teacher considering stepping into this role, you’ll find practical insights and advice to help you get started and make an impact.
