Technology Training

On-site trainings are conducted in a computer lab by an expert trainer and are designed to provide participants with hands-on experience using the technology. While each training workshop can be customized to your needs, these standard options are available:

• Beginner - Reviews basic computer skills, site navigation, and an overview of site features. Instructs and demonstrates data entry, report generation, and the use of online planning resources. (1 day)
• Advanced - Focuses on the connection between assessment and curriculum, and utilizing information for program improvement. Provides in-depth training on the individualized and group planning tools. (1 day)

Phone trainings offer a low-cost option to be utilized throughout the year for specialized topics, or ongoing training for new hires. Phone training participants dial into a conference call while navigating the system on their own or while watching a lead computer.

Training content and format is customizable and can be adapted to meet the skill levels and needs of the participants. If you are interested in planning a training or would like more information, complete the Online Training Request Form or call 1-800-352-6864.

Assessment Training

Work Sampling Online is based on the content and processes of the Work Sampling System. To ensure a successful implementation of the online system, it is critical that teachers are trained in the Work Sampling System (or the Work Sampling System for Head Start) and have the correct materials for implementation. Assessment Training will ensure teacher's appropriate use of the system, as well as help them to recognize the benefits of using the online technology to streamline their offline processes.
