SDE to Offer the Next "Live Call" Training Webinar this Wednesday for Data Certification

Monday, June 24, 2013

This Wednesday, June 26th at 1:30 PM, the State Department of Education will host the last scheduled "live call" training webinar for districts. This webinar is designed to provide training on the new Accountability Data Certification Reports that districts are required to complete this summer. This webinar will focus on Assessment Post-Code, Historical Adjusted Cohort Rate, A-F Advanced Coursework and SMART Reports. The webinar will be divided into short segments dedicated to individual reports to allow districts' staff to participate in only the segments that are relevant to them. In addition, during the "live call" webinar, districts will be able to live chat with SDE and Wave staff during the Q&A sessions for each of these required reports.

1.      If districts request an additional webinar, the SDE will explore possible dates and times (recognizing that the 4^th of July holiday will impact people’s calendars next week).
