The time I spent in training was very well spent. It took me from the level I was at to a much greater understanding with the ability to apply concepts learned. Also, "where to find" additional information was provided and what to do on my own.

Very easy for even those of us who are somewhat computer-challenged!

Trainer excellent and informative. Great speaker - I wish I was as educated with testing information! So much of the PASS tests have already been dissected for the 2005 year. Very user friendly. I will use this to generate test results versus having to find written reports in files. Thanks for the continuing education!

I appreciated the information that was presented. Being able to analyze this data should certainly help with obtaining both the strong and weak areas of my teaching. I did appreciate the point that it is a team and not the sole responsibility of the particular teacher that has students that are tested.

I feel that the Comprehend Professional Development Training Course was excellent method of us evaluating our students and how we can improve their academic success. It will be extremely useful in creating new strategies for classroom lessons, and the standards that we need to focus on, which in turn help us improve the student's understanding of the content!
