OCM BOCES TEST ADMINISTRATION/SCORING FOR PERFORMANCE SECTION
We have scheduled training sessions for setting up and scoring the Performance Part of the ELS and ILS tests. The Performance Part of the tests have NOT changed from previous years and should still be kept secured.
REGISTRATION: You can register using our on-line Training Schedule and Registration page. The session link will direct you to the "My Learning Plan" web site Enroll page for that session. New users to "My Learning Plan" will have to set up an account. The account is free and you can use it to check the status of your registrations and maintain records.
For each training there is an AM and PM session. The AM session gives an overview of the test and focuses on setting up the performance test. The PM session focuses on rating the performance test. If you are planning on attending both sessions you must register for each individually.
The dates involved are as follows:
ELS (Location: OCM BOCES Science Center) - March 21, 2013 (Thursday, AM and PM)
ELS (Location: McEvoy Campus Conference Center) - March 22, 2013 (Friday, AM and PM)
