Week of August 12 - 16
ATTENTION! PLEASE READ - Updates to the CalAPA
Due to feedback received in late July, the CTC has released an UPDATED version of the CalAPA Assessment Guides and Template Prompts. I have REMOVED the prior documents from our Student Information Folder in Google and REPLACED them with the most current version, labeled Version 02.1, V02.1 and/or Version 2.1 on affected documents. Please ONLY use these documents as you move forward. If the guide or templates do not have the updated version number, please discard. All other associated documents - video instructions, login instructions, video annotations are remain the same and do not require any action. Also see at the bottom of the newsletter, I have attached the MOST UPDATED version of the documents.
If you have already downloaded templates for Cycle 3, from Pearson, please DO NOT USE THESE. You will need to use the updated templates V02.1. These updated templates will not be available for download until August 23, 2019. At that time, you can download the most recent version, V02.1, and enter in your information. You can cut and paste your content you have already started in the old template, into the new one, if needed.
On August 14, a document with explains the updates and changes to the assessment guide and templates will be made available and I will be sure to get it out to all of you, and I will place it in our Student Information Folder on Google. In most cases, the changes are just clarifying language to instructions of what the cycle needs to include.
Pop Up Message from Pearson
Effective August 23, 2019, you will be required to use the new 2019–2020 (Year 2) assessment materials to complete your cycle submissions. If you registered before August 22, 2019, and plan to submit cycles using 2018-2019 (Year 1) assessment materials, you must do so by August 22, 2019, 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.

This message is for candidates from LAST YEAR's Cohort that still need to submit cycles. You do not need to submit anything by August 22. Your first cycle is still due September 19 and you will be submitting your cycle content using the V02.1 template.
