Dates have been established for two DAIS institutes, previously projected for the 2006-2007 school year. . On January 8/9, you can attend "Adaptive Testing Programs from A-Z." On January 10/11, join us for a separate institute entitled, " (Re)Developing Policies and Procedures to Guide your DS Function." There is some expanded information about these institutes to be found at the link to your left marked "Something New From DAIS - Inservice Training Offsite" (http://daisweb.com/node/8) . The product from the first institute will be a completely reworked set of policies and procedures to guide your testing oversite - you will leave Columbus with a new set of policies and procedures ready to be implemented for Spring, 2007. The product from the second institute will be a new/revised set of policies and procedures, along with a carefully crafted "sales" plan that will allow you to fully inform the campus community, get buy-in from all the appropriate stakeholders, and be ready to implement in Fall, 2007.
