[MCGRAW Jessica]

Good afternoon everyone!

Below (scroll down) is the link to this week's AA Update as well as the link to the AA Update webpage.  The AA Update webpage has links to individual articles for those of you who need to share individual announcements with your colleagues.

A few changes we want to share with you:

      -Our headers look a bit different.  Please note that we have sections for Test Administration, Accessibility Supports, Essential Skills, Accountability Reporting, and Future Assessment Development

        -We are flagging old content within the update with (REPEAT)

        -We are flagging new dates added to our "Important Dates for the Weeks and Months Ahead" section with NEW!

Thank you for all of your feedback on how to make our AA Update more user-friendly and time-efficient!  For those of you who have asked to be removed from our listserv yet received this email, we are working to update our listserv and will remove you shortly...although a friendly reminder never hurts :)

Have a great day!
Jess
