Classroom Technology Professional Learning: Updated Links for December 8th

Our next round of professional learning to support classroom technology will take place tomorrow, December 8th.

For this training session, we will be learning about the software Lynx for both your teacher device and your Clevertouch board.  The Lynx app has been pushed to all chromebooks.  If you are not using a chromebook, please use this link to install prior to Wednesday.  

Additionally, ALL teachers need to uninstall and install Lynx to their Clevertouch board.  You can find those directions here.  This process should take less than five minutes!

The training on both dates will run from 7:30 AM-9:00 AM for secondary staff and 2:30 PM -4:00 PM for elementary staff.  This training will take place in your classroom.  Please make sure that you have:

• a charged chromebook
• headphones (optional)

You will want to be in your classroom near your Clevertouch board for this training.  If you do not have a Clevertouch, please buddy up with a colleague in your same training group for tomorrow.  

As a reminder, each building has representative Clevertouch cohort teachers that will be available if you need extra help.  They have previously received the training that is scheduled in December. 

Below is the schedule as well as the training links for the December professional learning.

Southeast Polk Standards-Based Learning Site

As our Grading and Reporting work groups and our collaborative teams continue their journey in supporting standards-based learning, we wanted to highlight our Southeast Polk Standards-Based Learning site. 

Southeast Polk Standards-Based Learning Site

This site includes a page and actions for each of the work groups:

• Assessments and Proficiency Scales
• Behavior Reporting
• Communication
• Feedback
• Letter Grades and Reporting

There is also a page for 'Resources' and some new resources have recently been added.

Standards-Based Learning Resources

This page includes examples from Southeast Polk teachers as well as articles and videos for team study.  If your team has any resources they would like to share, please send them to any member of the Grading and Reporting Leadership Team, and we will get them added.  Thank you for your continued efforts to support student learning!
