Professional Development Course Offerings

TABE CLAS–E workshop will provide teachers with the skills needed to assess ELL students in  four  areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The TABE CLAS–E results are aligned with the NRS English as a Second Language (ESL) Educational Functioning Level Descriptors. In addition, TABE CLAS-E scores are linked to TABE 9 & 10, which helps ease many ELL students' transitions into adult education.


Online registrations will close a week prior to workshop date. If you would like to register after this date please email  ael@dese.mo.gov.
