Training registration for the IAA Fall Reading, Mathematics, and Science Pilot

Training registration for the IAA Fall Reading, Mathematics, and Science Pilot is now available. We appreciate your patience.

The technical difficulties with the Pearson landing page have been fixed, and will now link you to the training registration site. Directions are at the bottom of this email.

IAA trainings for teachers and IAA Coordinators will be held Aug. 28-Sept. 7. The training schedule is printed below and will also be posted on the IAA Web site at: www.isbe.net/assessment/iaa.htm. Pearson will handle the registration, which is available on Pearson's Assessment Network at www.pearsonaccess.com/il/

This year we are asking schools and districts to send the IAA Coordinator and one or two lead teachers to take the training back to others at the school and district.

ISBE will post a new training video on the IAA Web site in late to mid-August.
