Component Three:
Makes Sense Strategies (MSS) Training
Trainees must have access to MSS software to
complete the assessment.
MSS copyright agreement with Dr. Edwin Ellis,
sole source author of MSS, and the Alabama State
Department of Education.
Alabama Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
have permission to duplicate and/or upload
Makes Sense Strategies
(MSS) software to a password protected employee
intranet network designed solely for employees
of the LEA.
Educators employed by an Alabama LEA have
permission to duplicate MSS materials for use
when teaching their students or providing
Professional Learning and/or Trainings to their
public-school colleagues in Alabama. It is a
violation of the MSS
copyright agreement for LEA recipients and
users of MSS to provide public access to the
software.
