Pre-K teachers, you will refer to the CLI Engage resource as you prepare your virtual instruction. Access to CLI Engage is also on the Classlink portal.

A Note on Digital Textbooks and Resources:

Access to digital textbooks and resources for both teachers and students is determined by content area, course schedule, and campus. Some resources are available to all Fort Worth ISD teachers and students, such as Google Classroom, but then others are restricted by the aforementioned groups so that only a certain group of users receive access. For example, Pearson/Savaas resources will not be available to all Fort Worth ISD users, but it will be available to those who demonstrate a need for that resource through the content they teach, the courses on their schedule, etc. While you can see an icon for a resource in the MyFWISD portal (www.fwisd.org/myfwisd), it does not necessarily mean you are authorized to access the resource; think of the icons in the app portal like links on a website where users can see the links, but they may not be able to open the pages for all the links.

Additionally, access to resources is typically reported by what information is reflected in the district's Student Information System (SIS), Focus. If a student is switching classes, for example, the information reflected in Focus for that student is the same information the digital textbooks and resources are referencing for access. There is typically a processing time of 2-3 days between when a change is made in Focus and when that change is fully represented in all of a user's digital resources. For a new school year, Focus information will begin being shared with the digital resources in early August; new teachers, teachers who have transferred campuses, and other changes will begin moving through systems at that time.

It is BEST PRACTICE to survey students at least a week in advance of a lesson that uses a new digital resource to see if all students can access the resource. Using Google Forms to complete this task makes data collection easy! Including a how-to video or images will help students walk through the steps of testing their access. If you need assistance with how to use Google Forms in this way, please contact your Campus' Digital Learning Specialist.

Note: You may have taken some of these self-paced courses during the summer of 2020. If so, these are already represented in your portfolio in Strive. You are welcome to revisit the course content as a refresher, but you will be unable to retake the assessment for the course. Your administrator will be able to see evidence of your completion of these courses.
