Attendees will learn about Arkansas's Assessment Theory of Action, test design and blueprint, and types of assessment and use of data. Cambium, the new state test vendor, will also present the portal. The new system will have a summative test, optional interim tests, and optional classroom assessment-building capabilities. This training is optional for a district team (up to three people) that can come and learn about the system and make a plan to take it back to the district to share, somewhat of a TOT model, Ideally, this team would consist of C & I Director, building curriculum leaders, district/building testing coordinators, and/or lead teachers. Districts should decide on their team and register individually.
Note: Participant parking, unless handicapped, is in the large lot at the bottom of the stairs. Please be sure to park in the participants parking lot, not the small employee lot located in the middle of the Cooperative buildings.
