I love the fact that we have transparency and control of what parents and students can see. Parent should not be surprised at parent conference.

This is a good way to share some of our ideas and best practices.

Be aware of what you are showing parents

I will slowly deliver information and not overwhelm the teachers as I present our first PD.

I think creating grade level working groups to create similar categories will be important.

# data[].attributes.body
Sell the gradbook by simply stressing  the passback to MiSiS report cards

# data[].attributes.body
Keeping it simple. Using the I do, we do, you do. Making it clear it is a learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
I think introducing the basics of the gradebook would be best for my staff. They might get overwhelmed.

# data[].attributes.body
After the introduction to Schoology with staff, I'd like to have them play Kahoot! as a quick review of what was presented.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Join a game of kahoot here. Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform that makes it fun to learn - any subject, in any language, on any device, for all ages!

# data[].attributes.body
Giving a presentation to my colleagues. I will start just be introducing an overview look at schoology and help them
understand the basic functions.

# data[].attributes.body
Small doses at a time as to not overwhelm anyone

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it would be helpful to work with one grade-level during workshops so that the presentations to the staff can go better.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to link assignments to the report card will encourage teachers to use this platform.  In addition, when conferencing with parents, they aren't surprised by student report card scores.
Grade levels could work together to create assignments and activities.

# data[].attributes.body
This will be a great resource for grade levels to align assignments so that grade are consistent throughout the grade level.

# data[].attributes.body
For tech-savvy teachers who already use various online gradebooks, this is a game-changer!

# data[].attributes.body
Learn it well and use it in my class to model how it is used and to empower me to assist others. I have used Jupiter Ed and in time became an expert. I took baby steps with others to assist them. Set goals that are realistic. try to start before we are in the throws of school if possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe working with grade level chairs/ILT members

is a good way to start.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll be doing a PD for my school giving a general overview of Schoology and explaining how to tag assignments with learning objectives, since that will be crucial for Passback to work.

# data[].attributes.body
Like Steve, the small groups will be starting with teachers who are "interested" and "tech savvy" so hopefully it will be more than just myself to help whole group when we get there. My principal doesn't want to overwhelm with report cards, then testing, then ELPAC, then this, then... you get the idea

# data[].attributes.body
Do a brief overview and keep it simple
tackle one area at a time, have lots of good snacks

# data[].attributes.body
I also really like Steve's idea about working with a team and having them help the rest of the staff.

Definitely chunk it into smaller sections. Snacks always make the PD better.

# data[].attributes.body
I think explaining to teachers that they can link their learning activities directly to the report card standards to save time will help get them onboard.

Until the passback option is available, though, this will be a hard sell.

# data[].attributes.body
pitch to tech savvy teachers and build a team to help roll it out

# data[].attributes.body
I will share the information with my staff in my room and go over the basic steps in creating assignments, grade-setup,etc

# data[].attributes.body
I will start with the introductory lesson. Depending on the feedback, I will try to meet with each grade level to break it down. For teachers that are not tech savvy this will blow their minds!  Baby steps is the best route.
I think each grade level needs to decide what will work best for their teaching practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm planning to do my first PD on Tuesday.  Will introduce Module 1 and give a general overview of how to use Gradebook.  Like we did during our first training.  I also asked everyone already to check and see if they have Sandbox in their Courses before coming on Tuesday.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use it to do some grading in my class to familiarize myself with it.  Then, I'll present it to the staff.

# data[].attributes.body
I would copy over the training materials and use that during a PD to share it with my staff.
I would then lead small group PDs for more one on one help.

# data[].attributes.body
I used most of these slides as an overview but no live session yet. Teachers were ok with it. After Open House we will play in the "Sandbox"

# data[].attributes.body
I will be introducing Schoology Gradebook to my staff. I am going to try and not overload them with too much info.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be doing pd's during grade level meetings in small groups and will select one person per grade level to be the schoology leader of their grade level team

# data[].attributes.body
I'm going to print out next steps. and pick anything that I think is relevant for this time of the year.  I will present the information in grade level meetings. I'll help the teachers set up and create rubrics for next year.  The meetings will take place after spring break.

# data[].attributes.headline
I'm planning on doing a quick overview of everything with a PP during a faculty meeting. Then I am going to work with some tech-savy teachers to get them going...then they can also help me with the rest of the staff!

I did a short power point as an intro to my whole staff and now will be teaching the upper grades first and then the younger grades. I do not know how many PD's I actually will have to teach the teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be offering small group trainings, possibly after school

# data[].attributes.body
In an limited time slot of 1 hour,  I think a slide presentation or hands on format to do a quick overview would best support the faculty.  Then I would support gradelevel during motor skills or afterschool sessions in my room.

# data[].attributes.body
Still trying to process all of this.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to copy over the initial training materials to the course that I created on Schoology. At a staff meeting I had all the teachers enroll so that they could access the information. As they were delving in on their own, I went to each grade level to discuss how they could use it in their grade level and walked each grade level through what I was able to understand. I noticed that the upper grade classes were able to find more ways to used the rubrics. The primary teachers were struggling to understand how this can be used.

# data[].attributes.body
I will present it in a PD and go over the basics that we have learned and give them time to explore.  I will have my teachers write down any questions they have, and will answer them in a follow up PD or individually.

# data[].attributes.body
My next step is to share this information with my colleagues by doing the presentation with them, step by step.  Have them come in with their lap tops and we are going to slowly going through the proper steps of creating an assignment, resources, scales, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Going to do an intro PD with the entire staff then plan to visit grade level meetings to help each grade level set up their gradebooks

# data[].attributes.body
I will present the information given to me to my fellow staff members

# data[].attributes.body
Playing around with Schoology myself first, so I have a better understanding.  Then presenting.

As for tech savy teachers - they may be just as resistant, as they probably already have an online grading system they already like.

# data[].attributes.body
Share with our grade level
leads to help facilitate with the rest of our grade levels

# data[].attributes.body
I think I will have to share this with faculty several ways. I will give a PD to the whole staff, but I will also follow up by sitting with each grade level to help them with their specific needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I have several dates lined up, but haven't been able to present yet. Planning on using powerpoint presentation that someone posted on LMS platform. I need to continue playing with it, myself

# data[].attributes.body
My principal wants me to be comfortable with the platform before sharing with staff. I have briefly shared with my grade level and they are interested in hearing more.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a PD this Tuesday and the Tuesday before on how to use the grade book. I used the time to walk them through the same way our facilitators did and gave them an overview on the new structure. I also suggested that we should dedicated some time in the beginning of next year to do a re-fresher on this so they are ready to go early in the year. We are planning on meeting as grade level chairs to come up with a consensus on how our scales/rubrics should align in each grade level.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that many on my faculty will be resistant to the change and the work involved.  I plan to start with playing up all the benefits first!

# data[].attributes.body
We have grade level meetings every other week. I spoke to the principal about sharing information with grade levels during their meetings. This will also be helpful in discussing rubrics and grading scales.

# data[].attributes.body
I am planning to do an intro to the whole thing during PD time. Then give staff a week to try it out, practice, then come back at the next staff mtg. Answer questions and go more in depth.... not sure if that will work out but we shall see.

# data[].attributes.body
As an Instructional Coach, I would like to co-present with a teacher who is already inputting grades in Schoology. I find that a slow-paced presentation with plenty of handouts and step by step guides work best for my staff.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm planning to do a quick overview (maybe 30 minutes) where I show them all of the features, without them trying to login. That will allow them to absorb what is possible and not get caught up in the how-to which is frankly the hardest part for my faculty. My second session will be getting them logged in and instructing them in creating a course, creating a rubric, creating a scale, etc. In a third session I'll show them how to create and share assignments and then how to grade them. Then I'll likely split them into small groups, perhaps by gradelevel to trouble shoot with individual teachers and hopefully answer their questions. But I'm really hopeful that my principal can give them access to their actual students, because playing in a sandbox isn't quite the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I have met individually with a couple of teachers and had the entire staff join the course, but I also plan to host an afternoon session where teachers can delve into Schoology.

# data[].attributes.body
A powerpoint presentation along with having teachers work along during it, sort of how these meetings have gone. I model, they try it out

# data[].attributes.body
Targeting those that are tech savvy and down with this, build a team that is ready to help roll this out
