Aware Testing: Accommodations Reset

All testing accommodations that were previously loaded in Aware were cleared out over Winter Break. If you give an assessment through Aware (TIA testing, district snapshots, etc) , you must add needed accommodations for each student who has them (IEP, 504, ELL) prior to each assessment. Directions. 

Canvas Reminders

Canvas Semester Switch Directions

Don't forget to...

• Cross-list SpEd sections into the on-level course

• Publish your S2 course(s)

• Add a team member as a Designer in case of emergency (not Teacher so they don't receive grading notifications)

• Add Inclusion support staff 

• Check links on the home page for your course(s):

  • Classwork - links to Modules list

  • Teacher Info - links to your updated Teacher Info page

  • CHS Resources - links to this doc

  • Course Resources - links to a Canvas page or Google doc that you create/manage that includes resources for your course

  • Current Week - links to lesson plan page that starts with Jan 7

  • Assessment Plan - links to your assessment plans with current on top

• Unpublish all S1 assignments in Blueprints and in S2 courses

• Remove unneeded S1 Announcements

• Set up DAEP sections, if needed

If a student was absent in December and needs to complete an assignment from S1, locate that unpublished assignment in your S2 course and assign it to just that student with a due date and publish. The student will locate the assignment through their Canvas calendar, the Assignments list for your course, or their Canvas to-do list. 

When adding a team member to your S2 Canvas course for emergency access, please make sure their role is Designer and not another role (Teacher, Non-editing Teacher, TA, etc). They don't need to receive grading notifications for your course. They will thank you!
