Whether you’re looking for individual training, small group training, or perhaps training across your district, identifying and selecting the best delivery method for your team doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Pearson offers in-person, live webinar, and on-demand training, and since each of these options is unique, we’ve put together a few tips to help you decide which one will work best for you.
Tip 1: Consider the type of training you need.
Did you know that your assessment purchase may have included free introductory training?
If you've used an assessment in the past but could use an overview to become familiar with the new version, complimentary training may have been included with your kit.
To access your complimentary overview:
- Kit purchases: check with your purchasing coordinator
- Q-global® purchases: check the resource library
Need more in-depth training?
Pearson has developed an extensive library of comprehensive training designed to teach you how to properly administer, score, and interpret assessments.
Tip 2: Access on-demand training
Does your caseload have you absolutely swamped? Are you finding it extremely difficult to set aside a training day that works for your entire staff? On-demand training that can be completed at the pace that works best for your schedules may be the best option.
