Yesterday was Reading, today is Writing, and tomorrow is Math. Friday is Science. So far, I haven't proctored. Which means that instead of sitting in a room with kids I'm not allowed to talk to, I'm in a room with all the kids who have already finished, who just want to get their work done, so they can graduate. Once the High School Graduation Qualifying Exam has been passed, one no longer has to take it. Of course, we also have super-seniors who will be taking the test today for the 7th time. (The initial test is in the spring, but there is a re-test in October, too.)
Tomorrow, I will proctor the math test. I'm not allowed to proctor reading or writing because that's what I teach, and it's frowned upon. I'm considered a safe proctor for math, since I don't have access to the kids in that subject.
After signing for the tests and getting the kids set up, proctoring involves watching them to make sure they don't cheat, and calling down to the office so an individual can be escorted to the bathroom. It doesn't require a lot of skill. Proctoring is like this, (stolen from www.basicinstructions.net):
