This is a session offered annually at the DIBELS Super Institute but is available free to program participants.  Each school has received four usernames and passwords that can be used by multiple users. The information was emailed directly to schools in districts that have one or two elementary schools. In larger districts (more than three elementary schools) the usernames and passwords were sent to your district program contact for distribution.
