SAT Alignment to Standards and Instruction
Participants in this day-long workshop will learn about the SAT Suite of Assessments and the resources available to support student learning and teacher instructional strategies. A close look into the question structure and critical alignment to standards will be led by the subject area specialists of the Maine Department of Education.
We will provide an overview of the format of the SAT and the SAT benchmarks and go into greater detail regarding the reports that can be created through the K12 Assessment Reporting Portal. Specifically, we will focus on the Question Analysis Reports and Instructional Planning, which can be used by educators to monitor growth and target instruction.
Participants will also learn about the College Board’s partnership with Khan Academy, in which students can engage in individualized practice.
Because we will be using live data in the K12 Assessment Reporting Portal, all participants must bring a laptop to individually manipulate the data. Participants will also need to ensure that they are authorized data users and can access the K12 Assessment Reporting Portal prior to attending this workshop.
Teachers, Department Chairs, and Content Specialists in ELA and Mathematics should register to attend.
