Boise State Writing Project
Hosts ISAT Workshop for Teachers
The Boise State University Writing Project will sponsor an Idaho Standardized
Achievement Test Workshop for teachers from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Jan. 25 in the
Student Union Lookout Room. Participants are asked to attend even if they cannot
arrive on time. Free parking will be available in the lot behind the Student
Union.
The workshop will provide much needed information about what the new ISAT means
for students, teachers and parents. The workshop will highlight the basic
measurement principles that will allow educators to better understand the
information they receive from the ISATs; a particular focus will be placed on
the new state ISATs. The information will support educators so that they can
interpret scores and communicate findings to not only parents, but also to
fellow associates and administrators.
The event will be hosted by Roger Stewart of the College of Education and
educator Shanna Liles. Liles is accepting RSVPs at
s.k.liles@att.net.
The National Writing Project has long been regarded as the most influential and
successful grassroots teaching initiative in the country. The Boise State
Writing Project brings together educators in many different disciplines from
throughout the state. During an intensive summer session, they write, discuss
teaching methods and work on best practices and innovative methods.
