all day	NDSA Training by DPI & EduTech The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (ND DPI) and EduTech are working together to provide updated information, training, and support to schools for administering the North Dakota State Assessment this spring. Measured Progress is the assessment contractor responsible for managing critical components of the assessment. This spring’s testing window is March 14 - May 26, 2017. The test administrator portal is the same this year. However, due to changes with how student data is handled, it would be beneficial for at least one person from your district to attend. You may also register to receive NDSA email updates at ndsa.portal.airast.org in the upper right hand corner. There is no charge for this training, however space is limited and we do need you to register. You only need to register for either the 8:30 a.m. or the 12:30 p.m. session. To register, you will need your EduTech @k12.nd.us account and password. If you don’t know what that is, for assistance please contact the EduTech Help Desk at 800.774.1091 or help@k12.nd.us.

"Mario gave an outstanding presentation at the Marzano Research High Reliability Schools Summit in July 2016, sharing numerous examples of school improvement practices implemented in his district. Some were quick and easy and some more elaborate, but all were highly impressive, impactful, and applicable to school improvement initiatives across the NESC."

Lagging indicators will be shared for each level.
