From Teaching and Learning: We need you! On Sept 26th there is a half day Seesaw training for two teachers from each school (planning for one primary and one intermediate). A person doesn’t need to be a current super user of Seesaw but should be enthusiastic to learn more about the program and be willing to train others back at your site. The training will focus mainly on parent engagement and will take place in the board room at the Ed Center. The actual training will run from 8-11 to allow teachers time to return to their building. Interested in representing Lava? Please let Gary know. Thank you!
From the Teaching and Learning: Teaching and Learning and Instructional Technology are working hard to make sure each and every teacher and student has access to the digital tools they need for a successful start to the school year.
