WY-ALT TEST ADMINISTRATOR TRAININGS

WY-ALT
It has come to our attention that there has been some confusion around the WY-ALT Assessment Test Administration (TA) Trainings. All Spring 2020 WY-ALT Test Administrators (ALT-TAs) must attend a training annually and complete the online Test Administrator Certification Course, available via the Wyoming Assessment Portal.
 
There are two types of training: 
1) Initial Training (face-to-face) - for all new Alternate Assessment Test Administrators (ALT-TAs) - participants will receive direct training on WY-ALT test administration and technical assistance from the vendor (there are 6 sessions in December, listed below)
2) Online Refresher Training - for those who did the initial training last year and administered the WY-ALT assessment Spring 2019 - participants will get a refresher and updates on any information new since last year's training

Training Locations and Dates:

  • Tuesday, December 10, in Afton, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Tuesday, December 10, in Afton, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Thursday, December 12, in Riverton, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
