    Audience

    This professional development activity/course is designed for:

  • Practitioners from ACLS-funded programs who require training to accurately administer and score the TABE 11/12 Level L assessment
Description

This four-module online training takes approximately one hour to complete and replaces the face-to-face TABE Level L Administration training. For each module, you will read some information relating to one aspect of the Level L administration and scoring procedures, then answer a few questions. The four modules are as follows:

  • Module 1: TABE 11/12 Level L Reading Overview
  • Module 2: What to Do Before Administering the TABE 11/12 Level L Reading
  • Module 3: Administering the TABE 11/12 Level L Reading
  • Module 4: Scoring the TABE 11/12 Level L Reading

When you have completed all modules, you will be certified to administer and score the TABE 11/12 Level L, and a confirmation page will load. You will also receive an email confirmation that you have completed the training, which you can keep for your records and forward to your program director as needed. ACLS and the Center for Educational Assessment at UMass-Amherst will automatically receive notification that you completed the training, so you will not need to contact either organization.

Support:

For help with online registration, contact the University of Massachusetts Center for Educational Assessment at aclstesthelp@educ.umass.edu or call 413-545-1184.

ACLS recommends that programs maintain at least two certified test administrators for each test the program administers.
