In the Real World, your students may not need to know what animal is on the Great Seal of the United States, but they may need to know why that animal is significant and what it stands for.  That’s where Depth of Knowledge comes in.

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) assures that your course and your assessments have rigor - and that your students gain lasting understanding. This three-hour course will teach the basics of Depth of Knowledge and give you the tools to make your curriculum more rigorous.

No, you aren’t an English teacher, but there are standards of Literacy for all technical subjects, and your students need to be literate in the content of your course.

Join us for some relevant and targeted professional development to help your students learn to read and write your subject.  Participants will be guided through subject-specific reading, writing and presenting strategies to strengthen learning in your content area.

This training, part of the CTE goals this year, is highly recommended for all secondary CTE teachers.

Frustrated by Masteryconnect? Think it won’t work for you and your Language Arts classroom? Been there. Done that.

Come learn tips and tricks from two secondary teachers who have been in the trenches and dug through the mire to figure out how to use Masteryconnect. In this class we aren’t reinventing the wheel. We will be going over how to take assignments you already have created/use/and love and format them for easy entry into Masteryconnect.

Principals and Administrative Assistants:

Final 2015-2016 immunization reporting is right around the corner. As we look forward to the 2016-2017 school year, we would like to remind you that all schools are supposed to be in compliance with the Utah state immunization guidelines before school starts.

Many schools have allotted extra secretary hours in August, through pool hours, to allow more time to achieve compliance.  Remember, compliance leads to service. Discuss with your peers how they are achieving immunization compliance, or call the Nursing Services Department (Educational Support) for help.

We appreciate all of your hard work in ensuring immunization compliance for the 2016-2017 school year.  Please don’t hesitate to call your school nurse for any questions or concerns.
