PASeries Now Listed in CA ELAR Resource Site!

After our presentation in Modesto California, the CLRN team informed us that PASeries is now included in the ELAR online resource site!

The California Learning Resource Network (CLRN) maintains an online resource site of electronic learning resources for use by educators and administrators. The Electronic Learning Assessment Resources (ELAR) section is a new service from CLRN that lists assessment resources. For more information, visit the ELAR site; you can find PASeries listed here.

We hope that educators find the ELAR resource useful and look forward to supporting them in meeting their goals.

PASeries presence from coast to coast

Recently, the PASeries team has had the opportunity to:
present at CoSN , meet many dedicated educators at FETC, present PASeries in New Mexico, and participate in a review by the CLRN team in anticipation of including PASeries in the ELAR online resource site.

We truly enjoyed meeting current and new 06-07 users in Austin and Dallas at our awareness seminars, meeting all the friendly people in the City of Neighbors (Buffalo, NY), and speaking with you all during our bi-weekly Webinars.

Look for the PASeries team in June at the Lexile National Reading Conference in Atlanta. And at NECC in San Diego in July.

If you would like to learn more about PASeries an its innovative approach to assessment, you don't need to wait until you see the PASeries team in person. Sign up for one of the Webinars, visit the PASeries Website, or drop us a line at 1-888-281-8443 or PASeries@pearson.com .
