I will notify you when we have them. • Teachers who are assigned to multiple schools should be listed at the District Organization Level. That number will come with the list of schools. • The list of district and school numbers will include everyone in the state and will stay the same for next year. • You will have the ability to update staff and student rosters as the year progresses.

  20. Field Test Updates • What should teachers be doing? • Visit Field Test 1 Educator Resource Page • Download the **Read Me First** Fact Sheet • Watch Videos and review DLM Glossary and continue Self-Directed Learning Modules • Review Essential Elements that will be covered in Field Test 1 • Review released DLM testlets for an idea of what to expect.

  21. Field Test Updates • What should teachers be doing? (Cont) • Create a schedule for testing each student in their class. Allot approximately 30 minutes for each student and each domain (ELA & Math) • Make sure that each student tests early in the window • Schedule Make Up days at the end of the schedule in order to cover any absences. • Any student who does not participate in all 3 windows will count as not tested!
