🛄 CIA site has moved
🛄 CIA site has moved
To make it easier to find the resources you need, the CIA (Curriculum & Instruction) Google Site has officially moved to our ESDTK6 Google Site. By bringing everything together in one location, we're simplifying access, updating resources, and creating a more streamlined experience for teachers and staff.
You can now find all Curriculum & Instruction resources under the CIA (Curriculum & Instruction) tab AND on their own individual pages in the navigation menu on the ESDTK6 Google Site. As we continue this transition, we appreciate your patience. Some hyperlinks or references from older documents and resources may temporarily be broken as we update them. We'll continue working to identify and fix these as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding as we improve and consolidate our resources!

Connect Renaissance STAR Data to Nearpod Instruction!
Teachers using STAR Assessments can now access recommended Nearpod lessons, activities, and videos based on students’ identified skills and instructional needs. A Nearpod license allows teachers to turn STAR assessment data into targeted, engaging instruction for whole groups, small groups, or individual students.

This month's focus: FLUENCY
The focus of the Fluency component is to warm up your mathematicians' brains for the upcoming learning found in your lesson and should only be 10 minutes of our 60 minute time block. Below are tips to keep in mind when facilitating and pacing out this portion of the lesson structure:
The curriculum provides 2-3 Fluency activities. Only choose ONE that you feel would best warm up your learners for the upcoming learning of that lesson.
TIMER - set a timer OR add a timer to your slides.
Love them all? Then get creative on when you can use the other activities outside of Fluency time (on the way to lunch, library, etc. OR standing in line). Get creative.

Teachers: Provide 3 Digital Citizenship lessons with students and verify each lesson with the filling out the link below.
These THREE lessons should cover these core topics for CIPA Compliance:
1. Appropriate Online Behavior: This includes teaching students how to conduct themselves ethically and legally online, build a positive digital footprint, and understand the consequences of their online actions.
2. Cyberbullying Awareness and Response: Education should focus on recognizing, preventing, and responding to cyberbullying and other forms of online harassment.
3. Safety and Privacy: This topic covers how to protect personal information, understand online privacy settings, and be aware of potential risks to their safety and security online.

The IT Department has enabled the free version of Flocabulary.
Flocabulary update
Flocabulary update
Due to declining funding and limited districtwide usage, the district has not renewed the Flocabulary subscription for the current school year.
Teachers may continue to access Flocabulary's free resources, and individual school sites are welcome to purchase subscriptions if site budgets permit.
We appreciate your understanding and apologize for both the inconvenience and the delay in communicating this update.
Ask Before You App Requests
Ask Before You App Requests
Please adhere to the district's "Ask Before You App" policy to ensure that all educational technology tools used in our schools are approved and compliant with student data privacy regulations.
Before introducing any new app or website that collects personally identifiable information (PII) from students, please follow these steps:
Check the Approved EdTech Tools Database: Visit CJUSD's Resource List of approved educational technology tools to confirm whether the app or website is approved. This list can be found in ClassLink in the orange “IT Help” folder. The app is approved if it shows as “completed” and it is within the expiration date.
Request Approval for New Tools: If the app or website is not listed in the database, please request approval by completing an IT work order.
Please wait for Approval: Do not use any unapproved app or website with your students until the board of education has approved a data privacy agreement. Once the agreement is signed, the database will be updated.
This matrix provides the current status of all roster integrated digital applications/resources, who it is shared to, who has access, and where to reach support in 'How-To' or using the application/resource.
*This list is currently being updated by the IT and EdServices Department
