Greetings Directors and Evaluators:
We have couple of things to share with you today. First of all, staff from one of the SPDG projects requested assistance from the network related to assessment data. In particular, the state is interested in getting responses to the following question: How are projects compiling and analyzing LEA K-2nd literacy and math assessment data, when LEAs are not required to use specific assessment types and, therefore, are using many different types? If you have information to share with this state, please send your input to Audrey Desjarlais at adesj...@uoregon.edu by September 21. Audrey will compile the information and send it out on the listservs by the end of the month. The second item is TA&D hosted event. On September 28th at 3:00pm Eastern, Larry Edelman will present on the TA&D webinar - Shoot, Edit, and Share: Using Digital Video in Professional Development, Technical Assistance, and Dissemination. DESCRIPTION: Video is an invaluable tool that has been used for many decades to enhance the effectiveness of professional development, technical assistance, and dissemination activities - the difference is that it is now a great deal easier and vastly more affordable to shoot, edit, and distribute video. Today, you don't need to be a trained video professional to produce incredibly useful video. This webinar will introduce key concepts regarding digital video and illustrate many ways that it is being used. Accompanying the web conference will be resource and guidance materials on low-cost digital video recorders, accessories, and software. WHEN: This webinar will be held on Tuesday, September 28 from 3-4:30 pm Eastern time.
