LEUSD Professional Development 2024-2025

Common Assessments are right around the corner! K-2 teachers are invited to come and develop a better understanding of our new common assessment platforms SVMI (Math) and Acadience (ELA). This PD is designed to:

1. Cultivate an understanding of the assessment's design and ability to guide/inform instruction. 
2. Provide hands-on practice scoring assessments and entering data.
3. Develop best practices for analyzing the data in PLCs. 
4. Provide access to follow up resources that support instruction.

The day will be split in half, one portion dedicated to understanding the use of SVMI and the other portion dedicated to Acadience. This PD has been created to support K-2 and RSP teachers only. Lunch will be provided. 

This is an abbreviated version of the full day training.

Feeling uncertain about this year's math curriculum? How are you currently approaching instruction in your math class? Are you gathering resources and piecing them together in hopes that you will create a comprehensive and effective learning experience for your students? Come and discover the updated mathematics framework and the benefits of transitioning to a "Big Ideas" approach. This shift will not only save your instructional time but also equip you with the necessary knowledge to deliver a cohesive and rigorous math program. This will drive your students towards success ensuring you won't have to worry about their readiness for the next year's math class and beyond. Suitable for K-8 teachers.
