ELA (Ashley Johnson)
- If you have changed grade levels and need to update your teacher’s manuals on CCC’s Learning Portal, please jump to step 7 on THIS document. Be sure to unclaim your old license before selecting the new one.
- Instructional Task Artifact Folders: Click HERE to access folders for each instructional task listed on our standards overview document. Examples will grow throughout the year!
- NWEA MAP Accelerator - Clever set up is now complete and MAP Accelerator is scheduled for activation on September 2nd. When this happens, teachers/MAP administrators will also receive an initial activation email from MAP Accelerator. Please follow the instructions in the activation email taking into consideration the following:
- Please check your “Barracuda Email” for the initial activation email. Sometimes these types of emails will go there instead of the Outlook inbox.
- If any teacher has a Khan Academy account that they created with their HCS email address, it will merge their account with MAP Accelerator.
- Freckle - Freckle is now available to use. Here is the training that new teachers did at the beginning of the year. Freckle guidelines are currently being worked on.
GT ELA (Pam and Ashley)
- We had an outstanding 3 days this week with the GT teachers and coaches that were able to attend our sessions! We reviewed the Literacy Task, standards 5 and 7, and began pacing out collection 2. HERE is a copy of the slide deck that we used.
ESOL (Amy Murray)
“How do teachers log in to WIDA in order to access their self-paced coursework for Sheltered Instruction?”
The answer is:
- If teacher was ever sent an email from WIDA, he/she needs to go back to that email and select “forgot password” and the system will reset the password. (Sandra will not be able to make accounts for teachers who have one already.)
- If teacher received the email, but no longer has the email, he/she will need to call the WIDA help desk: Monday-Friday 8-5 (CST) 1-866-276-7735
IMPORTANT: Teachers must open the email from WIDA and set up their accounts within 24 hours of receiving the email.
