SUBJECT:
6th Grade CogAT Test Administration Training
The test administration window for the 6th grade CogAT opens October 27th and closes December 4th. 6th grade teachers, in collaboration with school test coordinators, can administer this assessment to their classes.
A test administration training is being offered to school test coordinators as well as 6th grade teachers. School administrators may attend a training session, but it is not required. Testing pool hours may be used for ESPs who are attending a training session outside of their usual hours. There is no funding for substitutes; thus, schools will need to cover the cost of a substitute if a classroom teacher is attending a training session. Attendees should bring a device to the training.
Below are the training session dates, times, and locations. Those who are planning to attend a training session should sign up here.
