In this training you will learn how to identify and unpack grade level standards to write effective learning intentions and success criteria so you can teach and assess the standards more accurately. This training is designed for you to work at your own pace and prepare you for part two of this training that will happen sometime in the Fall where we dive into Skyward and learn how it can support standards-based grading. It is estimated that this course can take you between 3 - 5 hours to complete, but remember, work at your own pace!
Before getting started, please watch the video below to receive a quick introduction to this training from our fabulous School Performance leaders, Alice Peck and McKay Robinson.
