Snapshot Videos

The Literacy Team is in the process of creating short video snapshots to address the most frequently asked questions we are hearing this year. They are very short so that teachers or grade-level PLCs can focus on one small element of Standards-Based Learning or literacy at a time and at the moment of need. Please share ideas for future videos that can support you and your students!
