Resources from the Principals' Conference on January 30th have been added to our Principal Resources Community in ARIS.  A direct link was also added to the Teacher Effectiveness page.

The following resources have been added to the ELL page:
- English Language Learner Policy Brief: Identification and Placement
- ELL Considerations for Common Core-Aligned Tasks in English Language Arts
- ELL Considerations for Common Core-Aligned Tasks in Mathematics

The standards checklists have been updated to reflect the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) on the page for Modified Promotional Criteria.  The Standards Checklists for modified promotional criteria are now split by subject area and available for grades 3-8.

A new page has been added to provide updated information on the Common Core-Aligned 2013 3-8 NYS Exams.  Laura Kaiser's presentation from the December Principals' Conference has been posted in Testing & Assessment.  We have linked to several resources which NYSED has made available, including Sample Questions and Educator Guides.  Additional resources will be added as information is made available.

Electronic copies of the large packet have been added to the Exemplars page.  Due to the proprietary nature of these documents, you may need to login using your DOE/Outlook User ID and Password to download the files.
