Training for Classroom Teachers- Sign Up on My Learning Plan
The Offices of Staff Services and Data, Assessment, and Planning are hosting training on how to access district curriculum and generate data reports from SchoolNet. The district's goal is for all curriculum to be accessed through SchoolNet by the end of the 2015-2016 school year. SchoolNet will also serve as a place for teachers to access longitudinal data on the students currently on their roster. Teachers will need to know how to access both curriculum and student data in SchoolNet. This training will be different than other SchoolNet training provided up to this point.
Our office has scheduled two additional SchoolNet training sessions with dates of January 21 and January 27. The sessions will be located at the Dix Education Center from 4-5pm.
Attendance Matters! Please focus and stress this in your classrooms. If you have individual student concerns, come see me! This will take a total TEAM effort!
