Who should attend:
- Local AIMSweb® Managers (LAMs) (Typically 3-6 designees per school and district who will participate in a turnkey train-the-local-trainer model). LAMs then become leaders in their buildings, training other staff to use AIMSweb®.
- Schools may also send all staff members who wish to learn to use AIMSweb®*.
(*Class sizes are limited to about 25-30 attendees; therefore, special pricing and packaging will need to be discussed with the training dept. ahead of time) - District-level staff who wish to learn more about AIMSweb®, understand its use at the school level, learn how to administer and score measures, build school and district protocol for implementation and use, and become a Local AIMSweb® Manager.
- It is strongly recommended that at least one school or district-level administrator attend the full workshop.
