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

This six-module online training takes approximately one hour to complete and replaces the previous face-to-face version of this training. For each module, you will read some information relating to one aspect of the TABE 11/12 administration and scoring procedures, then answer a few questions. The six modules are as follows:

  • Module 1: Overview of the TABE system
  • Module 2: What to Do Before Administering the TABE 11/12
  • Module 3: Administering the Paper-Based Locator Test for First-Time Test Takers
  • Module 4: Administering the Paper-Based TABE 11/12 Subtests
  • Module 5: Scoring Paper-Based TABE 11/12 Subtests
  • Module 6: Administering the TABE 11/12 Online

When you have completed all modules, you will be certified to administer and score the TABE 11/12, 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.
