Assignment 3

Your white paper that you have developed on your selected K-12  assessment topic is now ready for you to present to the locally elected  board of the school district. Create a presentation using Prezi  or similar software in order to present your research to the task force.  The information within your presentation will assist the Task Force in  developing a district-wide professional development plan geared toward  improving the overall test scores of the schools within the district.
