Electives (2019-2020)
Option 1
Google Educator certification is done completely on your own. You will need to register using either your personal Google account or the “alternate professional email” you use for your PLC work. If you plan to use Google certification as your PL elective option, you would complete the training and test (it costs $10, not payable by KYSU), and then send a copy of your certificate/badge/notice of completion and success to Leta Martin (la.martin@moreheadstate.edu) for professional learning EXEMPTION.
The Teacher Center link above has lots of great training and application of what you learn. Some of it (maybe a large portion since we’ve been using Google so much in our own PL work) you will already be familiar with, but it’s great practice for the test at the end. Do NOT neglect the unit reviews because some of those questions are on the certification exam.
Option 2
You can earn six (6) hours of professional learning through a self-directed learning project by logging 3 hours of attendance at the MM/WW sessions (outlined below) and implementing what you’ve learned by creating a product. To participate in this option, CREATE A COPY of the document in the link above and share your completed learning plan with Leta Martin (la.martin@moreheadstate.edu) by May 1, 2020.

CASAS Implementation Training
(3 hours, online) The CASAS Implementation Training (CASAS IT), or “CASAS 101,” provides a basic understanding of the CASAS system. Participants learn how to administer CASAS appraisals and pre- and post- tests, interpret test results, and use curriculum support materials to enhance instruction and workforce readiness. Each unit offers a self-test to confirm understanding. A certificate of completion is generated at the conclusion of this training. Each person involved in CASAS testing must complete this training prior to ordering and administering most CASAS multiple-choice tests. Participants must also register at CASAS.org to complete the training. Additional details can be found on page 15 of the PL Handbook.
Upon completion of the course, participants should send a copy of the completion certificate to Leta Martin (la.martin@moreheadstate.edu) to receive PL credit.
