Reading Endorsement: Please share
To support teachers seeking their reading endorsement via the K-12 Reading Test (035), OLL has created a test prep course to build some essential information to help them prepare for the test. The course can be accessed by registering for section 30847. Registering or this section will automatically grant them access to the course in myLearning. Should they have any questions, they can contact Danielle Varcardipone.
Zearn as a Homework Option
For those schools that require homework, have your teachers ever sent a student home to do their math homework, thinking they understood the lesson only to find when they came back – all of the work was done incorrectly. Just one misconception can cause a student to practice homework incorrectly making for bad habits. How about offering Zearn as a homework option? This would be great for any student but especially students needing tier 2 supports. Watch this 5 minute video to hear about all the many benefits of a double dose of the lesson with timely feedback on practice: Independent digital lessons.
Keep in mind that there should be a paper/pencil option for those that do not have access to devices or the internet.
