The MAG program committee is hard at work putting together professional development sessions, best practices and new programs focused on helping teachers use the latest and most innovative assessment tools to positively impact student achievement in their classrooms.
As always, MSDE staff and vendors will bring us a variety of presentations and the latest information on Maryland's assessment program.
