Support for Low-Performing Standards on District Snapshots:
The Elementary Curriculum Department has been working on ways to further support teachers and students. After each snapshot, teachers can access additional resources and videos to support instruction for students on low-performing standards. Here is the link: Responding to the Data. The link will direct teachers to a tab on GPS that will house videos, documents, and resources. The math misconception flipgrid allows teachers to interact and post their comments and ideas, as well. This resource will continue to develop throughout the year.
