An On-demand PD Opportunity Starting September 3rd
The on-demand version of Getting Going With G Suite contains ten self-paced modules. The modules go beyond the nuts and bolts of using G Suite for Education and dive into practical classroom uses for all of the G Suite for Education tools. In the course I share activities that I have done and continue to use with students of all ages.

"A text dependent analysis prompt expects students to be able to demonstrate three main skills: 1) reading comprehension; 2) analysis of an author’s use of literary devices (elements), text structure, or other choices made by the author; and 3) a well-written essay to communicate this understanding. These underlying components (comprehension, analysis, essay writing) are measured using scoring guidelines which provide students with a single score (e.g., Pennsylvania System of School Accountability – PSSA – TDA Scoring Guidelines) or an analytic score for analysis of text, use of evidence, and writing skills (e.g., Nebraska State Accountability – NeSA – TDA Scoring Guidelines) relative to how they are able to demonstrate these underlying components in a coherent and cohesive manner. The scoring guidelines expect students to demonstrate “analytic understanding of the text(s),” to provide an “analysis of explicit and implicit meanings from the text(s),” and to provide “direct reference to the text(s) using relevant details, examples, quotes, facts, and/or definitions,” as well as demonstrate an appropriate organizational structure, including an introduction with a controlling idea, use of precise and domain-specific vocabulary, and appropriate use of English language conventions ( PSSA-TDA Scoring Guidelines, 2014)."
