[CASL-L] Anyone administer TRAILS?

[Michele Eligio]

Hi Everyone,

First well wishes for an awesome school year to all of you! As always I
have some burning questions on yet another topic that I could use help with!

Some Background:
About two weeks ago, I had reached out to the English Department at our
school to see if they were open to the idea of having students take the
Kent State University TRAILS assessment to get a baseline on the
Information Literacy proficiency level of our students with the intention
of following up by reassessing the students in later years. They just got
back to me and love the idea!

So, if anyone has used TRAILS before, I could use your assistance in
answering a few questions. First, when creating a session for a grade level
is it alright to set up one session for the entire grade or is it more
advisable to set up individual sessions for each classroom within the
grade? Second, approximately how long does it take to administer one of the
9th grade 25 item assessments? Did anyone ever experience tech problems
with test administration? (Our students have Chromebooks.) Finally, if
there is any other assistance or insight that can be provided that you
think would be helpful for me to know, please share.

Thanks so much in advance for your feedback. I absolutely love CASL for the
many things they provide - the connections, resources, and professional
learning. This listserv is always such a tremendous resource and
professional network for me!!!



Sincerely,

Michele Eligio
