It is also free of charge to LEAs or anyone interested in taking the courses. Providing professional development for LEAs around quality data is vital in analyzing longitudinal data and ultimately improving teaching and learning. The course is designed to be either instructor-led or self-paced and incorporates activities, discussions, presentations, and support materials. To access the course, visit www.sifinfo.org/sifau.asp and follow the "How to get started" instructions provided in a prior link.
