Administering FOCUS

Outline — content pending

This page is structured but not yet written. The SRSS implementation guide does not cover FOCUS, so the mechanics below need to be confirmed with the FOCUS product owner before this page is published.

Overview

FOCUS is typically completed by students during a designated class period. This page is the proctor-facing guide.

Before the Session

Setup and checks to run before students sit down.

Running the Session

What the proctor does while students work.

What Students See

The adaptive question flow, from the student's point of view.

Absences and Make-Ups

Handling students who miss the scheduled session.

Responding to Concerning Answers

What a proctor should do if a student discloses something serious mid-screener.

Open Questions

  • How long does a FOCUS session take?
  • Is there proctor training material equivalent to the SRSS teacher training video?
  • Does FOCUS surface immediate alerts for high-risk responses, and if so, who is notified and how fast?
  • What is the supported make-up process for absent students?
