Dear California Educator:

The California Department of Education (CDE) invites you to attend a new webinar—Tools for Teachers and Other Formative Assessment Resources at Your Fingertips. This webinar will be held on January 25, 2022, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and is intended for all local educational agency staff, including administrators and classroom educators.

Join us to learn how educators can leverage state-provided online tools including the:

• Smarter Content Explorer
• Interim Assessment Item Portal
• Smarter Annotated Response Tool
• Sample Items website
• Tools for Teachers website
• Interim Assessment Viewing System
• California Educator Reporting System Sandbox

California educators will highlight ways they use these online tools to support the implementation of the formative assessment process in their local context. CDE staff will provide a live demonstration of a few of the tools. The tools and resources discussed during this webinar are available to all California K-12 educators and are designed to support the formative assessment process during instruction.

Please forward this announcement to any local educational agency staff who may be interested. Questions regarding this webinar should be directed to the California Outreach Team by email at CalOutreach@ets.org.
