Join NCEO and the ASES SCASS for a lively discussion on Addressing Performance Gaps of Low Performing Students during a pre-session to the National Conference on Student Assessment (NCSA).
Considerations for the instruction and assessment of low-performing students with disabilities, English language learners, and other struggling learners will be addressed by a panel of speakers representing state agencies, higher education and teacher preparation, district-level administration, and parents. Panelists include:
- Laura Kaloi, parent and nationally-known advocate for students with disabilities
- John Van Pelt, Superintendent of the Lake Villa, IL school district
- Melissa Gholson, Coordinator in the Office of Assessment and Accountability, West Virginia Department of Education
- Aimee Howley, Educational Studies Department, Ohio University
Large group discussion will chart an agenda for continued engagement in this important work. A joint publication, based on this forum, will be published by NCEO and the ASES SCASS later in the summer.
This session will take place on Wednesday, June 19th from 1-5pm at the Gaylord National Harbor hotel in National Harbor, Maryland. To register, or for more information, please check out the following link: http://www.nceotacenter.org/ncsa/
