Join us for the opportunity to discuss your questions and practices for CASAS.  Julie Pierce, certified CASAS trainer and coordinator with Metro North ABE, will be on hand to provide some answers about the new CASAS tests.  You will also have time to meet in Practitioner Groups according to the level you teach to talk about what you do, questions you have, and concerns.
