The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) will conduct training sessions on the administration of the 2013 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) on February 11, 13 and 14, at the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and King of Prussia PaTTAN office locations. The information being presented is critical to the administration of the 2013 PSSAs, and it is required that every LEA send at least one representative to a training session. These are train-the-trainer sessions, and it is expected that the representatives deliver the information to their coordinators and test administrators.

The training sessions will be presented live at each of the PaTTAN sites listed below. The live presentations will simultaneously be broadcasted to additional PaTTAN locations and intermediate units for individuals who cannot make it to the live sessions. To register for a live session and view a list of available locations that will be broadcasting the event, visit PaTTAN’s web site at: http://www.pattan.net/category/Training/Calendar/2013/February.
