This week’s Shout Out goes to Senior Manager of Student Assessment Julia Amponsah-Gilder and her staff from The Rice School’s testing coordinator, Dr. Stacy Spillane.

Dr. Spillane said that the “superior” training led by Julia and her staff on Oct. 3 was one of the best she’s ever attended.

“This year, I was particularly impressed by the way the whole group worked together to present the information,” said Dr. Spillane. “Everybody got to do a part of it, and that’s what made it unique. Getting training on student assessment protocols is a necessary thing, but it’s difficult to make that interesting. So for them to make it as engaging as they did was really outstanding.”
