Technology Question: What is the difference between Class Link and One Drive?
One Drive is a Microsoft product very similiar to Google Drive and is a place to backup and store documents, videos, photos, and more.
Lesson Plan Guidelines for General Ed and Specialists:
- Submit PowerPoint lesson one day before lesson is taught so Instructional Coach, Assistant Principal, or Principal observing can review prior to observation/walk-through.
- Folder will be set up for each grade level and team to submit PowerPoint. The link will be provided to everyone.
- PowerPoint should include all details of the lesson including objectives, opening, direct instruction, student practice, closure, demonstration of learning (either within the PowerPoint itself or within the notes section).
- If you are co-teaching please indicate how you are co-teaching within the notes section.
- If we have any questions, we will talk with you directly about the lesson.
****Special education teachers should continue to follow the directions of their special education directors for how to complete lesson plans and when and where to submit.*****
