UPDATED training opportunity for teachers!
The October 2024 DLM in-person training opportunities, which were planned for Eisenhower Cooperative and Belleville Area Special Services Cooperative, have been replaced with a virtual training opportunity. Teachers will learn at this training opportunity how to interpret score reports and apply this knowledge to subject-level mini maps, which will help them align the results to a student's Individualized Education Program goals and instruction. To register, please visit the DLM page on ISBE's website. Navigate to "News and Updates" and click on the link provided. Registration closes October 21, 2024.
