Use Classroom Screen to have assignment choices in a Text widget for students to select.

Have the Text widget with bell ringer instructions written on it when students enter the room.

Use the Stoplight from Classroomscreen.com for technology readiness/expectations (red = off and away; yellow=logged in screen down; green=on task/ready to work).

Advocating for What Matters (inside and outside your district)

Advocating for What Matters (inside and outside your district)

# data[].attributes.body
by Jennifer Bergland.

What is something you have had to advocate for? What path did you take? What data did you show? What were the results?

Collaborate: Find others with the same goal. Get their opinion/advice. Highlight specific positive outcomes. Is there a compromise? Negotiate. Is this the right thing for the kids?

Don't go in mad. Don't go negative. Take the emotions out.

(White Settlement ISD)

Started with K-6 (3 lessons)
2nd year added 7-8 (5-6 lessons)
3rd year added 9-12 (5-6 lessons)

Added one hour to their summer educator PD (required)
Added a message from the superintendent (top down)

Common Sense has complete K-12 vertical alignment
All lessons completed by end of first semester; if they notice a teacher or group of students has not completed by January, they have time to intervene and find out why

Family Tips Sheet
Family Media Agreement

Social Media---> Principals shared out

What are the Challenges?
*What do we keep?
*Big Ideas

We need a new K-12 framework
*Powerschool
*Skyward

Single Sign On
*Tools for Ever
*Clever
*Classlink (currently probably the best available)

Analytics: Usage stats on every element of technology access and information in the school system

Cost of Investment
Return on Investment
Value of Investment

We need flexible, open sourced, customizable, with choice
*File Management
*One Server for Synchronization

This is huge $$$ being spent by our districts, and we need to have higher expectation!
