CTP Testing:  We are coming up on CTP testing.  You will see a variety of CTP events in the Upcoming Events section above.  All of these will happen during DEAR.  You can see the full CTP Testing Plan HERE.  I am still working out some proctor situations and will have it completed ASAP.  We have reworked the testing time from last year and reduced it by 25 minutes.  This was done by removing the redundant practice tests before each subtest.

On April 10 and 12, advisors will be running the CTP Intro and Tutorial with their advisees.   We are working on a presentation to share.  Gr 6 Advisors – I will be scheduling a time to come to your team meeting to review this (since our proctor training session isn’t until the same day).

If you want a head start on training, you can watch the CTP training for administrators video. It’s the 2nd one down.  Please note that we administer the CTP Online (NOT the CTP 4 or 5).  You can also read the Test Administration Manual for 18-19.  This includes the test administration script.  This will be reviewed at the April 10 Divisional Mtg.
