Brief Biography

th
year in the educational field.
Schooling: Richland Community College, University of Colorado at Boulder, & Texas Woman's University. AED Pre-Health member, Phi Alpha Theta History & Government Honors Society. 3 girls: Trinity, Inara, & River. (A special kudos if you can guess where we got their names from! )
Why virtual teaching was a saving grace for our family… Trinity had scoliosis surgery at the Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, Texas…the same month I was offered this position.
You can see the amazing before and after x-rays here to the left…
Really amazing...Slide4
Background
Our Challenge
To work smarter, not harder, for the benefit of our students.
Involve Learning Coaches / Parents in real time to address any learning gaps sooner.
Essential for assisting those students that may have skated through the program unnoticed.
Our Exploration
Study Island was explored in detail by hands on experience through different school environments. (Virtual, public, and charter). It ultimately culminated into the information presented here for you today. Absolutely not the definitive parameters of what Study Island can do or be used for, but definitely some more tools in your tool-belt to access for use. Slide5

Setting up a class…Slide8
Inside the class manager…Slide9
Title your class…choose your studentsSlide10
Many important points on this page…Add assignments… individual students and whole class…
Class Notes…Class Page Activated…Slide11
My class notes never change….
I put the same thing in my class notes as I put in the “directions” area of each assignment. It doesn’t actually seem to get read, but it helps when talking to LCs about DirectionsFor Study Island….Slide12
Suggestion for class links….
You can put helpful links in the class links section. I highly recommend putting in a link for the blog site, K12 OLS site, and any other possible helpful sites for tutoring. Maybe add TTM & iStation Links Soon….Slide13
Suggestion for class events….
I put another copy of the Work Samples inside here. I also put events for Benchmark assignments and tests here. I’m not entirely sure if this is utilized, but I want to make this information as Easily foundAs humanly Possible. Slide14
And now to add an assignment…Slide15
One student, a few students, a whole class…you can choose…Slide16
What my finished classroom looks like…a few things to note…Slide17
This is where Study Island “works” for you and your LCsSlide18
Parent Notifications tab in S.I. I take the OMNI report and filter it by my homeroom teacher name…then by grade level.
I go into Parent Notifications and insert the email address for each student’s LC from the OMNI report. (It is worth the 20 – 30 min. at the beginning of the school year to set this up…I think.) I set Study Island to notify parents weekly of any grades lower than a 70, and monthly for everyone to receive a summary report. Please let your LCs know to expect this and explain to them it is an automated service, even though it will have your name listed as the “from” sender.Slide19
