Who should attend the regional training conducted by the SAL?
Only that person who will represent your building or district and will actually lead the setting up, conducting, and scoring of the performance test need attend the regional workshop. The building principal will designate who will represent the building at that staff development session. It is not necessary that all grade 5-8 science teachers attend, nor that even all grade 8 science teachers attend. When one school representative has been trained at the regional workshop, he or she can share and instruct any other professional(s) back in the home school who will be directly involved in the administration and/or scoring, and any paraprofessional(s) who will also help set up the stations or be working with students with an IEP. In a large school, if there needs to be more than one room set up for simultaneous testing, this would require a second representative to be sent to the regional training. Attendance at the SAL’s regional workshops should be limited so SALs will have ample resour
