The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and its statewide assessment vendor, Data Recognition Corporation (DRC), will conduct training sessions on the administration of the 2014 Spring Keystone Exams on April 16, 2014. The training sessions will be presented live at the Harrisburg PaTTAN at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and broadcasted via video-conference to the King of Prussia and Pittsburgh PaTTAN locations, along with additional intermediate unit sites.

The information being presented is critical to the administration of the spring Keystone Exam therefore, it is required that every LEA participating in the 2014 Spring Keystone Exams (that did not attend a 2013-14 Winter Keystone Exams training session conducted in November 2013) send at least one representative to a training session. These are train-the-trainer sessions and are designed so that the representative who attends in-person can deliver the same information to his or her coordinators and administrators.

To register for the live session and view a list of available locations that will be broadcasting the event visit PaTTAN’s website at http://www.pattan.net/category/Training/Calendar/2014/April.
