* CITE 6
According to state law, 50% of your teacher evaluation will be based on student data, referred to as CITE 6. On Wednesday you will enter your CITE 6 data into InspirED with your grade level team. Please determine with your team which assessment(s) you are planning on using this year and bring your formative data on Wednesday. Let us know if you have questions or concerns.

2nd Grade Technology Co-Teaching
Second Graders analyzed different school communities and created Adobe Spark Video presentations that communicated the roles, rights, and responsibilities students have in their assigned area. Students planned how they would teach and communicate about their topic through speaking and meaningful pictures. Each student reflected on their work by completing a communication rubric and providing evidence that supported their self evaluation.
