Reminder: ESL Advisory/Networking Meeting, Dec. 4
Please join us December 4, 2012 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Room 13B of the Heartland AEA Johnston Education Center (6500 Corporate Drive, Johnston) for an excellent opportunity for teachers and administrators to meet for an hour of networking, learning of the latest ESL opportunities and receive updates about testing and other important Title III information. The agenda to the December meeting is here.
Districts Invited to Participate in Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Pilot
Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is inviting schools to participate in the Pilot Test to be administered this spring in grades 3-11. The Pilot Test will be a computer-based administration in the content areas of English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. Items are aligned to the Common Core State Standards and will include selected response, constructed response and performance tasks. All schools that volunteer will have the opportunity to experience the basic functionality of the system. Approximately 10% of the volunteering schools will be selected for the "scientific" study that will yield critical data about the test items and functionality of the online system. Scientifically selected schools will be offered specific in-depth test administration training in the form of webinars and training modules and will be assigned a specific two-week window within the pilot test window to test their students.
Please forward the attached flyer for more details. For the successful implementation of this Pilot, it is important that educational leaders encourage their schools to take advantage of this opportunity.

DIBELS Import to HEART
Within the next few days a new import process will be available in HEART for data from the DIBELS Data System. The DIBELS Data System will soon discontinue the existing export for DIBELS data. The new import will be able to read DIBELS-6, DIBELS Next and EasyCBM Math data stored in the DIBELS Data System.
