Host a Workshop
Fee: Two free seats! Regular (or early bird) rates apply thereafter.
As an alternative to private on-site training, we offer the Open Workshop hosting option. This is an excellent, low-risk opportunity to discover AIMSweb and receive premier training--especially for organizations that wish to learn more about AIMSweb and/or train staff members during the process. Training is geared toward training Local AIMSweb Managers (LAMs) and done in a train-the-trainer style. These workshops build capacity at the local level.
To host, simply open your doors and computer lab (or portable lab) for two or more consecutive days, provide a few light refreshments, and we take care of the rest! We provide materials, and will send a Certified AIMSweb Trainer (CAT) to your site to conduct the workshop. Additionally, we provide you with an electronic brochure about your training for distribution and handle all registrations/payment via our website.
Registration is free for your first two guests (of your choice). Regular (or early bird) rates apply for additional attendees. Materials are included.
This opportunity is excellent for:
- Organizations who wish to train leaders and build capacity at the local level
- Training smaller numbers of new hires into organizations that are veteran AIMSweb users
- University training and workshops
- Organizations who wish to offer Professional Development and community-based workshops at little direct cost
- Tiered organizations and LEAs that wish to train leaders across multiple sub-level organizations, such as ISDs or BOCES who wishes to have large-scale implementation of AIMSweb across multiple districts. This allows for each district to purchase training for each participant as needed.
- Organizations who wish to learn more about AIMSweb before making a commitment to the system
- Organizations who wish to train a small number of people and for whom private workshops are not an option due to budget
- Those who are working to introduce AIMSweb into the schools and would like to inform colleagues about the scope and capacity of the AIMSweb assessment system
