D3. Home/School Communication: Advocacy/Resources for Students
Evidence
Julie currently seeks out and provides resources for students to learn material
being covered. I currently utilize our Synergy grading program to post class
materials for students to access. Julie has not taken this responsibility on as
of yet.
Next Step
Next week I plan to have Julie upload documents and post information and
materials for students to access outside of class. I don't anticipate she will
have any difficulty taking on this responsibility for the Honors Biology classes.
