Check out this video<\/a> <\/strong>if you need a quick refresher on how to use Forefront. Currently, Amplify Desmos Math is still being processed in Forefront.\u00a0 Please keep your assessment data until Amplify Desmos Math is ready to go Sorry for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are still on back order, but we hope to receive them any day. Sorry for the inconvenience. The publishers did not expect the number of 3rd graders nationwide. Julie Richards knows who needs them.
mClass Beginning-of-the-Year math assessment <\/strong>
Here is a video<\/a> about how to assign the assessment. Do not assign the Short Form<\/strong> to your whole class. The full assessment will provide more information for you. Your Learning Specialist may want it assigned to specific students based on their IEP. You will need to create a group to do this (see below.) Here is a helpful checklist<\/a> to get ready for mClass. To get deeper into administering, here is a full document<\/a>. Here is a description of the Benchmark Goals.<\/a> There will be more professional learning opportunities throughout the year to learn how to use the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMath Happenings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This required assessment opens September 18th and closes October 25th for grades 3-12. Please see your administrator with more details but here is the 3-5 Implementation Guide<\/a>. The assessment takes 15 to 20 minutes and can be completed on a student\u2019s Ipad, using Clever and then selecting Wayfinder. Here are instructions for how it will appear in Student View.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
An alignment has been created for the SEL standards and Wayfinder.\u00a0 We have identified priority standards for each grade and created a rubric for teachers.\u00a0 These priorities will appear on the progress reports.\u00a0 In addition,\u00a0 K-2 will have an assessment you can give in Waypoints on Wayfinder.\u00a0 This is teacher observer action assessment (students will not take on the IPad) and will be aligned to the priorities and progress reports for each grade.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nMovement Moments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
