What it covers
Seven areas from your training
- The program and its language. Parrot and Eagle choices are choices, never identities, and the S.A.F.E. design behind every session.
- Student safety. What to do when a student discloses harm, routing to the Counselor Liaison, working with your school staff member, and the DCSD Volunteer Code of Conduct.
- Running a session. The 60-minute session arc, protecting the 20 minutes of Skill Practice, your weekly checklist, technology, and fidelity.
- Eagle Bucks. The four ways to earn (5, 10, 10 and 5, up to 30 a week), bonus Eagle Bucks, running totals, and the official Exit Ticket comment.
- The film. Using the anchor scenes and leading a discussion after a scene.
- Measuring growth. The CASEL competency rubric, scoring decisions, surveys, and protecting student privacy.
- Eagle Certification. The requirements students must meet to certify.
Student safety, running a session, and Eagle Bucks make up 20 of the 30 questions. Give these areas the most review time.
Question types
What the questions look like
- Classroom scenarios. Most questions describe a real situation and ask for your best response. Choose what the manual says to do, not what feels quickest.
- Eagle Bucks practice. A few questions ask you to work out a student's weekly or running total, or to pick the correctly formatted Exit Ticket comment.
- Select all that apply. These questions have more than one correct answer. You must choose all of the correct answers to earn credit for the question.
How to prepare
Getting ready
- Know your way around the manual. The exam is open book, but an hour goes quickly. Mark the sections on student safety, the session arc, and Eagle Bucks so you can find answers fast.
- Reread the Facilitator Training Manual. Focus on Part 2 (your role and keeping students safe), Part 3 (the 60-minute session and Eagle Bucks), and the Eagle Certification requirements.
- Review the Facilitator Training and Playbook course. The module knowledge checks and the Final Scenario Quiz are good practice for scenario questions.
- Practice the Eagle Bucks math and comment format. List what the student earned, then any bonus, then the running total:Eagle Bucks today: 25 of 30 (Show up, Speak up, Finish strong) + 5 bonus. Total so far: 85.
- Know the disclosure steps by heart. Know who you tell, how soon, and what you do not write down.
On exam day
How the exam works
- Have your Facilitator Training Manual ready. The exam is open book, so you may use the manual and your training materials, including the Facilitator Training and Playbook course.
- Open the first lesson, Before You Begin: Exam Rules, and read it.
- When your proctor tells you to begin, open Facilitator Exam and press Start. Your hour starts then.
- Answer every question. You can move back and forth between questions before you submit. Watch the timer.
- Review your answers, then submit. Once you submit, you cannot retake this exam.
After you submit
Your results
You see your score as soon as you submit. A score of 70 percent or higher passes. The exam does not show which questions you missed, so the questions stay secure for every facilitator.
If you do not reach 70 percent, you will be offered one second attempt on a different form of the exam. The program will contact you to arrange it.
