13-14: Alma TRIG: Classroom Readiness

The goal of Classroom Readiness is to build the capacity of Michigan educators to effectively plan and implement online assessments and "Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace" learning through increasing technology proficiency. Using a train-the-trainer model, this pilot project provides collaboration opportunities for a statewide professional development network of K-12 educators with a training ground and resource base to improve technology proficiency and local district readiness for online assessments. All instructors throughout Michigan have access to the training resources whether they are a member of the pilot or not.

After completing this course, the educator will:

• Know how to access the resources available to educators in Michigan to assist with tech readiness

• Understand how to use the materials and resources available in this course 

• Make connections with a variety of educational portals and experts to enhance classroom instruction and online test readiness

• Transfer the learning to professional practice by ensuring educators in Michigan are improving technology proficiency and local district readiness for online assessments
