Once complete, the DTCs must independently review and submit the ODE-provided DTC Fact Finder activity by November 1, 2022 and register for one of the required ODE-facilitated Webinar sessions (November 1, November 2, or November 3). DTCs must also use the ODE-provided training modules when conducting School Test Coordinator (STC) and Test Administrator (TA) trainings within their district. For a full description of training requirements by role, please refer to Section 1.5 Training Requirements of the Test Administration Manual.

In addition to Test Administration and Security Training, any individual administering Smarter Balanced and Braille interface is required to participate in the Braille Interface Training. The Braille Interface Training prepares Teachers of the Visually Impaired to set up and administer Smarter Balanced and Braille interface and supporting Braille technologies.
