TRAILS (Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills)
The TRAILS project seeks school librarians working with 6th or 9th grade students 
to assist in testing updated items for the TRAILS-6 and/or TRAILS-9 assessments. 
Each field test will contain items from ONE specific TRAILS information literacy 
category only. These will NOT be general assessments.
This spring TRAILS consultants were tasked with revising the current active items 
being used for the sixth and ninth grade assessments to address issues with content 
and eliminate the last of the multiple response items.  We are now ready to have 
students respond to the items to verify their soundness.
Requirements to be a testing site:

 1.  Testing population:  6th or 9th grade students
 2.  Technology: computers with Internet access
 3.  Time needed to administer: estimate of 20-30 minutes/session
 4.  Testing time period: now through May 2010
If you are interested, please fill out the TRAILS 6 and 9 Pilot Volunteer Interest 
Form at http://skylight.wsu.edu/s/35f195f7-db37-418d-b953-a4c3694e4cdc.srv by 
Monday, April 26. School librarians selected for participation will be notified and 
be provided specific directions for administering an assessment.
Please direct any questions to Barbara Schloman, TRAILS Project Director, 
bschloma@kent.edu<mailto:bschloma@kent.edu>.
Thanks for any consideration you can give to being part of this revision project to 
improve TRAILS-6 and TRAILS-9. Your ongoing support means a great deal.
Cheers,
Barbara
