The training consists of two face-to-face workshops with two follow-up virtual support sessions provided at no additional cost. Participants must register for both face-to-face sessions to attend. Training materials are research-based and created and shared by Dr. Jeri Thompson from the Center for Assessment in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Participants will need a computer/device for training sessions.
