The Family and Consumer Science Consultants will be continuing the new teacher program for teachers who have taught 5 years or less or are newly returned to the classroom. In this program, teachers will learn more about the FCS standards and courses, RE program, resources for classrooms and many other topics that beginning teachers need. There will be two meetings during the year for teachers to attend. These meetings will be held on September 23, 2016 and January 27, 2017. If you know of a new teacher please email [email protected] with contact information. More information on upcoming events will be sent out September 1, 2016.

CETE at The Ohio State University,  in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Higher Education, requests your participation in writing and validating 2016-17 End-of-Course (EOC) test items for the Education and Training career field. Upon completion of the Item-Writing workshop, you will be awarded a certificate with contact hours that you can submit for your continuing education requirements. Additional information.

Field tests will be launched in early October, along with most other tests (only exception is pretests, which are up now for a month from Aug 15-Sep 16).  This year it is Oct. 3, and THEY CLOSE EARLY.

 

The main points that folks seem not to understand are:

1. There are more items, 85-100, due to the idea of "testing the test".
2. If there are enough test-takers, we finalize to 40 items and then rescore for accountability.
