The NDE Assessment and NDE Service Desk will host a virtual Workday to support districts with final Assessment Rostering in ADVISER Validation. This session is designed to help districts review roster data within ADVISER Validation, identify issues, and work through necessary corrections.

Note: Assessment platform vendors (such as NSCAS Growth, INSIGHT, or PANext) will not be in attendance.
