Cornerstone Tasks (All grades)
Each unit in the Social Studies curriculum has its own cornerstone as an assessment piece. As your students are completing their Cornerstone Tasks, please do not forget to snap a picture of one to upload to the Cornerstone slideshow. Humanities is still working this year to gather samples of the tasks to share across the district. It's a great way to gather ideas into one location and also to share our practice with others in the district. Next year the Cornerstone Tasks will drive our Humanities curriculum and it will be so great to be able to look at all the samples.
If you have trouble uploading your sample, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you.
Math Unit Assessments (All Grades)
Progress Monitoring for Tier 2 and 3 Students
Tier 2 - Monitor progress every 2 weeks
Tier 3 - Monitor progress weekly
Many of you are using iStation to monitor. Since iStation has monthly monitoring, you will need to push out the iStation ISIP the other weeks that you need to monitor your students. (middle of the month for Tier 2 and each week for Tier 3)
Using the "On Demand" ISIP feature for iStation is very easy to do and can be done by any teacher that has access to that student's classroom on iStation.
Below are 3 screen shots to help you. Remember that you will want to push out the assessment and then have your students log-in to iStation. Once you push it out, it will be the first thing students see the next time they log-in.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
