How to Promote CSAP Workshops

The Colorado State Assessment Program, also known as CSAP, has been developed to measure student proficiency in the state's Model Content Standards. It was developed by the Colorado Department of Education and administered by schools across the state. The CSAP measures math, writing, reading and science aptitude for all public-school students in the state. CSAP workshops often provide test-taking strategies and pre-test instructional methods that result in improved student performance on the CSAP. Promote CSAP workshops for test administrators and other educators by advertising statistical data analysis, proven test-taking strategies and student demographical analysis.

Instructions

    • 1

      Create workshop content appropriate for the school or people who will be enrolled in the workshop. In order to do this, you will need school and area demographic data. You should also contact the Colorado Department of Education for CSAP scores from previous years. For example, if a particular school is in an economically disadvantaged area with years of CSAP scores that are low in reading and math, it makes sense to shape and promote workshop content that will improve reading and math scores.

      Determine workshop hours and a location. Many schools offer extended building hours for CSAP workshops that will benefit their student population. You may choose to hold the workshop at a school or other district building that will offer workshop space for a free or reduced price.

      Create fliers promoting your workshop. Your flier should advertise the time and place, but also who should take the workshop and the specific content that will be covered. Teachers take CSAP workshops to improve student scores that will shape instruction. Administrators take CSAP workshops to assist teachers in administering the test and improving scores for the school as a whole. District personnel take CSAP workshops to make decisions about curriculum and instruction on a district level and to help shape curriculum and course content decisions. Promote your workshop by clearly advertising for a specific audience.

      Create a website to promote your workshop. Websites are the first place many people go when looking for information on a course or a company. It is also fairly easy to link a website to the Colorado Department of Education website as well as other articles on CSAP scores and demographics. It may be helpful to advertise your website on the fliers and other promotional materials, such as magnets or business cards.
