Educator Role The Educators are presumed to be a student’s instructor or teacher, but may also be thought of as the test administrator. The Educator is responsible for reviewing and validating student data, preparing students for assessments, working with the IEP team to select and enter testing accommodations (depending on local policy), and administer Technology Practice Tests, Testlets (Assessments for Learning), and/or Summative Assessments.
