For 2019-20, DTCs must independently review the 2019-20 ODE-provided recorded training modules below by November 1, 2019 and register for one of the required ODE-facilitated Webinar sessions scheduled for November 5 - 7, 2019. DTCs must also use the ODE-provided training modules when conducting School Test Coordinator (STC) and Test Administrator (TA) trainings within their district. To provide flexibility in conducting local STC and TA trainings, ODE will post each training module in both a PowerPoint format with audio and presenter notes by October 1, 2019.
