Bring the CAASPP System to Life

  • Posted September 1, 2021
asically Series 1 offers CAASPP Ecosystem, Interim Assessments, and Practice and Training tests. Series 2 offers Tools for Teachers and Strategies for Putting it all Together. The details are in the body of this blog for ease of reading and registering.

Teachers are invited to learn how to bring the CAASPP system to life in their classroom. MCOE's EJ Renner is offering two upcoming workshops with practical guidance on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.

The first series is on the CAASPP ecosystem, Interim Assessments and Practice & Training Tests. The second series is designed for ALL Teachers and will highlight the Tools for Teachers and includes information on key strategies such as formative assessment and standards aligned lessons.

These series are designed to be stand alone (so you do not need to attend both series - just choose the one that fits your current needs). We created these series to also be stand alone topics if you only have time to attend one session within a series. If a topic within the sessions intrigues you, please register for that series and attend the sessions that you can make work.
