WDE and ACT have been working to add additional test dates for ACT administration next school year. Because the test date is earlier next year, we have asked ACT for more options. We are happy to announce that two paper test dates will be available next year. We are currently waiting to hear back from ACT about the paper accommodation window and the online testing window.
Paper Test Dates: March 20 or April 3 (your campus must choose a date)
Paper Test Make-Up Date: April 24

WDE and WIDA have organized a 3-day Trainer of Trainers Professional Learning Retreat in Laramie, WY from June 6-8. We encourage district level EL coordinators, Instructional Facilitators, and Teacher Leads to attend the training.
The WIDA Professional Learning Retreat is an interactive workshop that is based on a student-centered, teacher-focused approach to engage participants in a variety of facilitation techniques that they can replicate for educators of ELLs to better understand academic language development.
Melissa Paton from WIDA, will facilitate the Learning Retreat and she has been very well received in the past and has done many of the past PDs in Wyoming. District staff in Jackson also felt it was a worthwhile opportunity when they had the retreat in their area.
You will receive PTSB renewal credit for attending the retreat.
