The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) cordially invites all educators, administrators and staff from public schools in DC to participate in our second Local Education Agency (LEA) Institute on Friday, January 23, 2015, titled, "It Takes a City to Knock It Out of the PARCC!"
This LEA Institute is focused on preparing educators for the Next Generation Assessments (NGA) including (a) Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC); (b) National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC); (c) Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS); and (d) the DC Health Assessment. OSSE is inviting national and local experts to provide pertinent information and to answer your most pressing questions in the following areas:
• NGA Communication Strategies;
• Assessment and ESEA Accountability;
• Curriculum Alignment: Tools of the Trade;
• Instructional Shifts and Best Practices;
• Assessment Procedures and Technology Readiness; and
• Assessment Considerations for Special Populations.
Participants will have the opportunity to present their questions to subject matter experts during panel presentations and one-on-one in workshop sessions. In addition, OSSE will launch its NGA Ambassador initiative. Through this initiative, each LEA will be assigned an OSSE NGA Ambassador to provide a "one stop shop" approach to getting support on the new assessments.
OSSE is encouraging school teams (e.g., principal, assistant principal, instructional coaches, lead teachers, test coordinators) to attend this event. Registration is free. Registration is limited to educators, administrators and staff working in DC Public Schools and DC Public Charter Schools.
Register today: www.dc-it-takes-a-city.eventbrite.com
The event will take place at the Kellogg Center at Gallaudet University in Northeast DC.
PLEASE TAKE A ONE MINUTE SURVEY:
LEA Needs Assessment for Next Generation Assessments (NGA) Readiness Survey
In conjunction with the upcoming It Takes a City LEA Institute, OSSE has developed a needs assessment tool for the purpose of identifying challenges your LEA may have with preparing for Next Generation Assessments (NGA),
and for identifying areas where OSSE can support LEAs in NGA readiness. NGA assessments include the PARCC assessment, statewide science assessments aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), statewide
health assessments, and applicable statewide alternate assessments (NCSC, etc.). The results of this survey will be used by OSSE to provide relevant information and support to LEAs.
The survey should take approximately one minute to respond. OSSE appreciates your responses and thanks you in advance for your time.
