Thursday, Maricopa Unified School District teachers will finish training for the new assessment system the district purchased earlier this year.

SchoolCity replaced the contract MUSD previously held with ATI Galileo.

“This is a train-the-trainers-training,” Curriculum Director Wade Watson explained. “Everybody here will learn the system well enough to go back to their campuses and train the teachers on their campus once the year starts.”

Watson said around 36 teachers from the district participated in the training, which began Wednesday.

The training involves lecture, review and hands-on practice with the new platform.

Teacher-trainers will then hold the first of many trainings within district schools beginning Aug. 1 and 3.
