These Inventory Planning Facilitator's Notes are intended for district leaders who are beginning the planning process for an assessment inventory. District leaders using this "Student Assessment Inventory for School Districts" training guide should have a basic understanding of the "Student Assessment Inventory for School Districts" (see ED603651) as well as knowledge of the summative and interim/benchmark assessments given in the district. The goals of the training session outlined herein are to: (1) Clarify district context and inventory goals and strategies to complete the assessment inventory process; (2) Develop an inventory communications and messaging strategy; and (3) Identify shared and district-specific needs for support in assessment inventory planning and use.
