This workshop is designed for 4K, Kindergarten & First grade teachers, Title I teachers, Special Ed. teachers and others who will be administering Wisconsin’s PALS screener.

Attendance at this workshop will help teachers become familiar with PALS and also provide time to complete the online professional development modules that are required by the DPI.

On Aug. 29 Nancy Walsh-Boeder, from PALS Marketplace, will be joining us. She will cover Online Wizard Scoring and the Using Data To Drive Instruction course. This information would be beneficial for kindergarten teachers who used PALS last year in addition to your teachers new to using PALS. If Kindergarten teachers who have previously used PALS choose to attend, they would only need to stay for the morning.

Participants will learn how to:
1. Administer and score PALS
2. Log into Wisconsin’s PALS Online Resource Center
3. Use the PALS online reports

~ Please bring your PALS Kit & one laptop per teacher ~
If completion of modules is done, headphones will be needed.
