This 60-minute session will focus on how PVAAS projections can be used in conjunction with other data sources to make meaningful scheduling decisions for individual students and how to use PVAAS projections in a system-approach to scheduling. Opportunities for questions and discussion will be provided.

PVAAS and PA’s Assessment System: Keystones and PSSA Aligned to the PA Common Core

There have also been many questions as to how PVAAS will provide value-added reporting during the transition of the PSSA aligned to the PA Common Core. This 60-minute session will address the most frequently asked questions about these two significant transitions in PA’s state assessment system – and how PVAAS reporting will continue to provide high quality and meaningful reporting to PA’s districts and schools. Participants will also receive an FAQ document to use as a resource with staff interested in this information. Opportunities for questions and discussion will be provided.
