IAA Regional Fall Training Reminder

The Fall IAA Pilot trainings being held Aug. 28 through Sept. 7 are the ONLY trainings that ISBE will hold this year for the IAA. There will not be another round of trainings prior to the Spring 2008 Operational test in reading, mathematics, science and writing. Private schools will not participate in the Pilot, but they will participate in the Spring 2008 Operational test.

To assist teachers and Coordinators, ISBE will post a new training video and PowerPoint in late August on the IAA Web site at www.isbe.net/assessment/iaa.htm
