LMS Slogan
Open Class
- The Open Class presentation and the QuickTime tutorial video are located in the Google Drive Resources Folder if you would like to look at them after today's ERPD.
- Open Class is a district requirement that we will slowly integrate throughout this year. We will also receive training on Open Class during future ERPD sessions.
- Mr. Lynch will utilize Open Class during our weekly PLC time with BLC/IF, to introduce to staff the possibilities of using Open Class with our students.
- Teachers should have access to the courses.
- Students DO NOT yet have access to their courses. They have been sent a "Welcome" email, but have not been given an Activation Link. We will be notifies before that is sent.
- Teachers have time to EXPLORE Open Class before students are given access.
Writing Frames
Write to Read (write to understand and remember)
- A district focus for this upcoming school year is the unsung impact that writing has on student achievement.
- What does the research say?
- What is Effect size?
- Do you know? (We are not all stats experts, lets break it down)
- Which writing activity do you think has the most powerful impact on the outcomes of learning and student retention of new concepts?
- Bloom's Taxonomy web resource LINK.
- Effect Size article.
The NEW CWT instrument
Each Year the CWT instrument is reviewed, feedback gathered and changes made, much like your PDSA with you students. In an attempt to gather accurate, useful data, aligned with new initiatives, technology and district improvements the CWT is updated to reflect the vision and mission of I-SS. We will briefly look at those changes and the matching definitions (descriptors) so that we can have meaningful discussions when we meet as PLC teams to set our goals for each quarter.
