Greetings and welcome back to school. We are providing you with information on the ACCESS for ELLs Test Coordinator webinars that will assist you in preparing to administer the ACCESS tests in January/February 2019.

The Department will conduct four virtual trainings on:

September 20, 2018 — 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. — New Test Coordinators
September 26, 2018 — 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. — Returning Test Coordinators
October 3, 2018 —10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. — Returning Test Coordinators
October 17, 2018 — 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. — Returning Test Coordinators

The webinars are intended for district- and school-level test coordinators who will organize the administration of the ACCESS for ELLs assessments for English learners (ELs) in grades K through 12, and provide support and assistance to test administrators and technology coordinators.

Webinars will be limited to 125 participants, with no more than 2 participants per district, unless the district has previously been notified. After a district has reached the two-person limit, additional registrations will no longer be available. We encourage participation in groups so as many test coordinators as possible may participate.
