Specifically, we need educators who are familiar with ELA standards in the middle grades. We are also short a few middle grades math educators. ETS will handle compensation for participants, and more information on the sessions is below:  \nReading and Writing Standard Setting July 15-17, 2014  \nLittle America Hotel, Cheyenne  \nMathematics Standard Setting July 21-23, 2014  \nHilton Garden Inn & UW Conf Center, Laramie  \nFor these panels, we need educators with experience teaching reading, writing or mathematics in grades 3-8. Curriculum and administration personnel are welcome to apply.  \nIn June 2012, Wyoming adopted new standards in English/language arts and math. The grades 3-8 PAWS and SAWS have been revised and are aligned to measure student performance relating to the 2012 Wyoming Content and Performance Standards (WCPS) . Two standard setting workshops will be held in July, during which educators will review the standards, assessments and student performance data, and recommend cut scores for reporting performance levels. Participation by a group of Wyoming educators, representative of regional and sub-group diversity, is critical to develop valid, meaningful cut scores. The workshop requires groups of educators (including district level personnel) with the following experience:  \nIf you are interested in applying to participate, please complete an application by clicking on the following link: [http://www.formstack.com/forms/?1685444-](http://www.formstack.com/forms/?1685444-)sydWIwidzK  \nWe are also holding the usual item, bias, and data reviews this summer as well.
