RE:      Extended Assessment Qualified Trainer (QT) Training Query

At a recent Special Education Director Advisory it was suggested that ODE consider hosting a QT training session in conjunction with this year's Fall Special Education Conference (as a preconference half day).  We are now attempting to get an estimate of how many individuals might attend that session.

As in previous years, the Extended Assessment QT trainings are provided for individuals, who are current Qualified Assessors (QAs), who are trained to administer the Extended Assessments, but who are assigned by their district or ESD to become trainers of the Extended Assessments to build capacity in the district/ESD.

As in previous years, each district and ESD will be allocated funding from ODE to support statewide assessment activities.  These allocations are based on district SECCs. Districts with small SECCs who need a Qualified Assessor or Qualified Trainer are supported by funds provided through their ESD.

Our request:
To assist us with securing an estimate of how many individuals would attend a QT session held as a preconference half day before the Fall Conference, please contact the relevant individuals in your regional/component districts and request their best estimate of:  The number of teachers/TOSAs/administrators who will need to be trained as QTs to replace current QTs who will not be assuming this role in 09-10. Please send that number as soon as possible to Brad Lenhardt at brad.lenhardt at state.or.us<mailto:brad.lenhardt at state.or.us>

Note 1: If a district has not lost any QTs this year and anticipates no change in their current QTs for 09-10, their number is likely zero.

Note 2: Returning trainers (QTs) would not need to be retrained in this session, but would follow the requalification process via an online refresher session.

For more information on training needs, please contact Brad Lenhardt at Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us<mailto:Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us>.

If you have any difficulty opening the attached document, please contact Laura Allran at laura.allran at state.or.us<mailto:heidi.schulze at state.or.us> or 503-947-5674.
