Join Classroom Assessment and Data Literacy Initiative Beginning in school year 2021-22, the South Dakota Department of Education is recruiting regional coaches, school/district practitioners, and university/teacher preparation faculty to participate in a two-year Classroom Assessment and Data Literacy initiative. The goal of the initiative is to cultivate assessment and data literacy among South Dakota educators, school/district leaders, and pre-service teachers to improve student learning and serve equity goals. This will be accomplished through a series of training meetings, professional learning modules, independent practice/application activities, follow-up discussions/coaching, and strategic planning for scaling/sustaining the work within schools and districts over time. The first year of the initiative is structured as follows: virtual two-hour kickoff meeting in September followed by five whole group meetings spaced throughout the school year. The first and last whole group meeting will be full day meetings in-person. The other three whole group meetings will be virtual, three-hour meetings. There will also be one-hour coaching sessions/office hours set up between the whole group meetings. Participants can earn four college credits (if desired) and will receive a $2,700 stipend for the year, which includes travel and accommodations paid for by participants in Year 1. The Year 1 stipend will be paid in two installments: 1) December 2021 and 2) June 2022 based upon completion of all expectations listed below:
Interested participants should complete this survey by Aug. 30. Selected participants will be notified in early September. Questions? Email Matthew Gill. |
