Congrats Michelle Kelly on your 5C Badges!
Michelle Kelly has earned her 5C Badges in Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication. Michelle's creativity lesson asked students to make commercials or brochures advertising prescription drugs. For collaboration, Michelle paired strong students with weaker students and they helped each other create strong lab reports using Google docs. And for communication, students shared their experiences working in a pharmacy with one another through a forum on the learning hub, where they engaged in online discussions with one another about what they had observed and learned in their placements. Great job!
George Couros- Convocation Speaker!
Frisco ISD recently announced that George Couros will be next year's convocation speaker, and I am SOOOO excited! I would really encourage you to follow him on Twitter (@gcouros) and read his book, Innovator's Mindset. FISD has made the book available to all FISD staff in our professional library as an ebook. Watch the video below to see how you can access it!
If you plan on downloading the whole thing to your Google Drive, and you are in FISD, I have saved you the trouble- you can access it here.

There is a new tab when you look at test results in Aware, called Test Summary, and you will see it on district assessments that have been scanned. It will help you look at validity and reliability of those tests. Check it out!
