Expectations for Planning Sessions

What Would Be Most Helpful?

“A sample of a timeline, what all the modules are, expectations of the year next year, and what resources are out there and what they look like.” “Can you provide a list of specific components and critical skills on which each group of stakeholders (administrators, teachers, data managers) needs to be trained. This would help us gauge our scope and time frame for training for each group.”

Most Helpful (continued)

“Discussion among LEAs about how they are managing the planning and implementation of the various components of Home Base that involve many different departments.” “…curious how to enter course curriculum into the LMS aspect of Home Base (OpenClass) and make sure it is available for all schools in NC to use. We are interested in learning more… Currently, our school is looking into other LMS options for our own students to use…”

Most Helpful (continued)

“Comparative information: For example: PD provided through Home Base versus ... also, Assessments..”

“We need to know what procedures and forms need to be changed.. for example: report cards, PEP's for students, IGP for employees, Procedures for grading, registration, on and on.”

Learning Opportunities at Various Levels • PowerSchool training is well under way • Three rounds of READY meetings statewide

(2 face-to-face; latest round virtually) • Eight RESA-hosted planning workshops • NCDPI sponsored regional training (registration

ended May 8) • Summer Institutes • Ongoing webinars • Stakeholder Groups and Partnerships

Overview

• Improve teacher effectiveness by providing tools that save time by connecting grade books, lessons, instructional resources and assessments

• Ensure regular parent access to student grades and assignments

• Promote shared best practices statewide

• Save districts money
