  1. Michigan Technology Readiness Tool (MTRAx) Pilot Training March 20, 2013

  2. Welcome

  3. The MTRAx Story

  4. Major Events: • In 2010, Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium was formed • To help determine Test Readiness, the SBAC developed a tool to collect data and determine test readiness (Vendor: Pearson) • Spring, 2012 TechReadinessTool was launched in Michigan (36% participation) • OEII and BAA began meeting regularly to discuss test readiness

  5. Issues with TechReadinessTool: • Not customizable to Michigan needs • Very limited in reporting capabilities • Could only be compared to SBAC specifications • No ability to expand beyond SBAC testing • Could not expand into other areas of technology planning To solve these issues, MDE in partnership with MAISA contracted the Metiri Group to build a Michigan solution.
