SUMMARY:Technical Reading & Performance Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\n\nLevel 4\nThis class is designed for teachers in at least their 2nd year\nOption B approved course\n\nNOTE: Registration for this course will close August 31st\, 2026. A payment or PO must be received before you can attend the class. \nThis course consists of TWO 8-hour classes.

This course will give you specific examples where Arizona’s Common Core standards for Technical Literacy already exist in your CTE program\, it will provide opportunities for you to incorporate additional standards into your lessons\, AND it will give you strategies to take back to your classroom to increase your student’s ability to read difficult technical information more effectively. \nPerformance Literacy is the partner class for Technical Reading. This second course allows teachers to gain a deeper understanding of writing and speaking standards\, identify how they currently use them in their programs and determine specific steps they can take to increase their use of these standards as well as their students’ success with them. \nThe technical literacy standards are skill-driven and a perfect fit for our CTE programs’ focus on career AND college readiness as our students complete their programs. \nCome find out why CTE really is a powerful driver for creating literate employees for our 21st-century workforce! \nThere is no homework for this class. Upon successful completion of Technical Reading and Performance Literacy\, participants will receive an ADE certificate for 15 professional development clock hours\, which equates to one (1) semester hour of coursework.

SUMMARY:Grading and Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Level 2 \nThis class is designed for all CTE teachers \nNOTE: Registration for this course will close September 16th\, 2026. If wanting to register after the deadline\, please email PD@west-mec.org \nAssessing and grading are two different actions. Learn a variety of formative and summative assessment techniques. A major focus is how to assess student work using rubrics. This class will help you create a clear grading policy and develop a variety of ways to assess student learning. \nHow should students in CTE be assessed? How do we set up a fair grading system for both teachers and students? Learn about the wide variety of options that address both of these issues to help you develop both your own philosophy for grading as well as effective strategies for multiple ways to assess student learning and progress. You will also leave with a greater understanding of how to align testing and evaluation to your course outcomes and grading policies that will increase effective feedback for students. \nUpon successful completion of the course\, which includes submission of homework\, participants will receive an ADE certificate for 15 professional development clock hours\, which equates to one (1) semester hour of coursework.
