Readiness Initiative (ARI) Training Workshops |
This summer the Virginia Department of Education
will sponsor two half-day training workshops related to the Algebra Readiness
Initiative (ARI). These workshops will
concentrate on the use of the Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Test (ARDT) and how
to use the test results in making decisions affecting
instruction. Both workshops are for
people who have never used the ARDT but will have responsibility for its
administration and score interpretation in the fall of 2006.
The workshops will be held on August 9, 2006, at
Bailey Bridge Middle School in
Each division may send up to two participants using
the attached registration form due by July 28, 2006. Registrations will be accepted in the order
they are received until the workshops are full.
For participants from divisions more than 75 miles from the workshop
site, Algebra Readiness matching funds may be used for travel expenses.

A. Williams, mathematics specialist, Office of Middle and High School
