The Motor Skill Assessment Program (MSAP) is designed to be an individualized, self-paced, Web-based application to train teachers how to qualitatively assess motor skills. The program has three options: tutorial, guided practice, and competency evaluation. After a brief introduction of MSAP, participants will have the opportunity to use and evaluate the application. The session will conclude with a discussion of the participants’ evaluations and reactions to learning how to assess a motor skill with MSAP.
