Important Testing Updates            Week of 10/22

10/25/2012

 
High School Principals: 
Please be sure to nominate your candidates for Regents Distributed Scoring management positions only by completing this online survey by October 31.

Please have your test coordinator register for Regents training (week of October 29th) using this link: http://www.eventbrite.com/org/2689362676?s=10585366

Middle School Principals: 
The NY State 2012 ELA and math Item Analysis Tool is now available! You can find this in your ARIS private community. There have been some changes to the tool. Due to new State Education Department guidelines, the Item Analysis now only shows the percentage of students who answered the question correctly, but does not indicates the correct answer to the question or which answer choices were incorrect. The tool also shows the standard or strand and performance indicator with which the item is associated, but does not indicate the item number. If you have questions about this tool or would like to have someone run a PD session around it, please contact your Instructional Liaison. 

Please have your test coordinator register for Regents training (week of November 5th) using this link: http://www.eventbrite.com/org/2690234738?s=10613846
