The Division of Assessment and Accountability (DAAS) looks forward to seeing you at the annual Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA), District Assessment Coordinator (DAC) Q&A hybrid meetings.
As a reminder, the trainings will be recorded and released prior to the hybrid Q&A sessions. Each training topic will include a recorded video to watch, at the viewer’s convenience, prior to attending one of the Q&A sessions for that topic. Most videos are approximately 30 minutes. In order to make the most of the allotted time, the one-hour Q&A sessions will not include full presentations of content already covered in the recorded videos. Staff from the DAAS, other KDE offices and Pearson representatives will be available to assist with your questions.
For in-person Q&A Sessions, registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will be followed by the Q&A Sessions scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (local meeting location time.)

Registration is now open. Everyone planning to attend must register. Please carefully consider the in-person or virtual option and register just once for the appropriate session. For all in-person sessions, masks and social distancing is required.
We welcome BACs to attend but please keep in mind that DACs will receive preference in the event a venue is booked to total capacity. The DAAS believes that the safety of the participants is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the meeting may be canceled due to weather, COVID-19 or other circumstances. In the event of a cancellation, the in-person session will be held virtually. A Special DAC Email will be sent with the appropriate links. EILA credit will be offered for the February DAC Trainings that does not include the Q&A sessions. More details on EILA credit will be shared soon.
