[Curriculum Directors] Help Wanted- Standard Setting

Written by Nathan Smith on August 8, 2014. Posted in Utah.

The Assessment Section at USOE is in need of help to set Standards for the year-end assessments. This is incredibly important work and is a valuable learning experience for educators. Please see the invitation below and do what you can to make sure we have quality reviewers at these meetings.

Memo: To Assessment and Curriculum Directors,

USOE is still in need of experienced educators to be a part of our standard setting process taking place next week, August 11-15 (8:30-4:30) at the Salt Lake Sheraton.

We understand it is a difficult week to ask educators to assist us, but we appreciate any help you can give.

We are in need of Secondary Math II, Secondary Math III, English Language Arts 7-8 and Secondary Science teachers.

Please contact Tori Jensen by email: tori.jensen@schools.utah.gov or call her at 801.538.7836 at the USOE if you have an educator/s that can assist us.

Thank You Very Much.

Jo Ellen Shaeffer, Ed.D
