The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is providing an opportunity for local education agencies (LEA) to attend an online training that will address how Pennsylvania Information Management System (PIMS) data is used by Data Recognition Corporation to produce pre-code labels for spring Keystone Exams and for uploading student data for Classroom Diagnostic Tools. This training will explain the data elements required in this PIMS collection window, and the importance of accurate data submission and reporting. The training will be followed by a question and answer period.

PDE will be offering a total of four webinar sessions via “GoToMeeting” on Feb. 6, 2014, and Feb. 7, 2014. Presenters will be from PDE’s Division of Performance Analysis and Reporting. Trainings on both days will be held from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
