To Our Valued Colleagues:

The Maryland Assessment Group (MAG) is excited to announce our decision to deliver an in-person conference to Maryland educators on November 17 – 19, 2021, in Ocean City. Join us in celebrating MAG’s return and 35th anniversary!

In partnering with MSDE, educational leaders, local school districts, and vendors, MAG promises to provide professional development sessions on a wide variety of Educational topics facing public schools as we recover from a world-wide pandemic. Now, more than ever, is the time to be focused on student achievement and measures of academic success!

New this year, MAG and MSDE intend to expand professional learning for participants by providing a year-long professional learning community for educators that focuses on the formative assessment process. The initial "kickoff" event for this PLC will be during the MAG conference and will continue throughout the 2021-2022 school year. In addition to the one MSDE professional development credit conference attendees receive, additional credit can be earned for attending the MSDE backed training on The Corwin Institutes’ “Virtual Success Criteria Playbook.”
