things great about goal at this point dr. Morrison is going to tell us a little bit more about Pearson Connexus we're going to do a little bit of Deep. night and you will have opportunities during our presentation to ask questions and so at this time dr. Morrison evening everyone just like that for I just said we're going to dive into the platform so that you can see that from my student perspective and from a parent's perspective which we call the parents of servers will see both of those platform if you will advance for me please Dr Fishman thank you stole my talk a little bit about what we all four so hear it. We pride ourselves and offering an easy-to-use online system that we call Pearson do that platform we offer hundreds of courses that are designed for career and college readiness individualized attention for your students and I'd only that but it's safe and secure in I meant for them. We also have a platform at an area just for you parents that have all types of resources that you can utilize that will assist you as you're helping her, just trying to learn more about the platform itself we can go to the next class so we're going to talk about our model and what Pearson stand behind the one thing I will tell you is that our model is Student Center we do take a student center dedication because our students are the top priority we believe it that is essential to providing students with that support as they are studying so therefore we have provided for you a curriculum we've also provided caregivers or as we call them parents or Guardians as we say them that are available to be a torch to providing students with assistance as their learning also you have if you look at this world that you see in front of you we have teachers which are available to provide that individualized instruction to encourage your students along the way and moreover we also have a platform which we've been talking about Pearson connected that will look at it in just a second glad we start looking at the synchronous support and what that looks like so students have access to an abundance of synchronous Support options including synchronous classes as you see listed here they also are able to have targeted small group intervention teacher time session and then also that teacher one-on-one now that teacher one-on-one will probably convenient less bright depending on the 4th but just to let you know that there are several different wonderful methods for students as they are trying to continue their learning and to improve their literacy we also do allow students in grades K through 12 to contact their teachers by appointment at any point do not talk now about what that synchronous and asynchronous learning will look like I left one before we move on. The picture of you. I didn't leave one off on there we do have that advisory teacher that's going to be down there I'm also for students in grades 6 to 12 my apologies for leaving that one out I was just so excited to talk about everything else to 12 students you do have that advisory teacher forever talking about the asynchronous and synchronous line as you see this model that here again I wanted to provide you with a model that you could see as we start thinking about students learning and add the on the computer and what does that look like in a synchronous environment do for your students in grades K through to you can expect anywhere between 30 to 40 minutes 44 or day again this is just an every area and every different School District may have different other options or you as a parent will also be able to look at this and make those modifications also in grades three through five you have you see this listed at 4 60 Minute for court for a day and then for students in grades six through 12 45 to 60 minutes for now that's it for that's the independent work when we start thinking about that stink face-to-face learning what does that look like per week so we can look at that for grades K through five anywhere between 8 and a half hours per week and for students in grades six through 12 look like 6 hours for a week so again just a model you guys are in control of what your students and how your students are working and what they're working on and how they're working Avatar talking about alcohol when we look at the information of the program one thing that I love to talk about when I talk about the Pearson program is that our program is it provide facts comprehensive and adaptive curriculum that's consistent with State Standards not only that but the Pearson program is an excellent alternative to the available traditional and homeschool curriculum now the only on learning Navarre Pearson Connexus is Design for Learning anywhere at anytime now to say all that I have to say this part of our curriculum is a highly effective alternative to that traditional curriculum it is intended to help students acquire knowledge and critical thinking skills not just for Ally but for work and for higher education also spoke to ensure that each student receptive of her potential we are providing structured lessons and self-paced learning at each grade level we take pride in preparing students for life and fostering the these are learning which include critical thinking and problem-solving communication skills creativity Innovation and collaboration so when we start thinking about the accessibility for all students what does that look like the we believe in equal access for all students regardless of their learning style they're still order disability our entire library is WIC hack 2.0 compatible now we believe in delivery technology that gives all students and equal opportunity including those with impairment such as cognitive learning problems the late fee or behavioral disabilities as well with leads up into talking about our platform itself so I'm now going to transition over into a platform so that you guys can see exactly what that looks like and as I do that I may go ahead and take over possible that The Weeknd the the information listed here a wreck it out Ryder forgive me I am a bun person who ever I am learning the Google world right now so I'm going to see which one I should choose their okay you are fine and I am in the right place all right what are you doing my screen you're a good so hopefully everyone is able to see my screen here and you're saying the information that where you login so when you are logging in you have a username and a password not just students what parent you also have that username or login I'm using a name and password to login but before we login I wanted to show you some information that support as your work let's say you have questions or you have technical issues or anything of that great nature cuz you're not having to go to misterwives for every single thing you can actually contact us support on this page is a phone number and there is an interactive support line that here so I wanted to point this out before we logged in so that you would know exactly where to go when you're trying to access any help again at the bottom of this login free do you have access to them as well as students you have access to this as well so I'm going to go ahead and log in now when I login you make me something different than I do now the reason why this particular screen has popped up as you see listed I'm

before you do it you go ahead and you put this box I'm going to save your option so I'm going to go ahead and you'll notice that is going to bring me into my student platform the students this is what you'll see and parents when we transition into the parent a platform you'll see something that's very similar so as you're looking at this information the first thing that I like to point out is where

would be able to see all of the courses that my students have access to I also have access to the support button and to the help with and I can probably easily between the students that I have a student Sonoma covered a ton of information but I'm sorry that I went as detailed as I was because that's what I wanted you guys to know exactly what you would see as you login even from the student to the parent wanted you to be able to be comfortable as your logging into the platform and be able to bring New Birth through and answer some of those questions that you may have to stop presenting now and I'm going to pass over to dr. Fisher hello yes welcome back everyone thank you so much for your attention Dr Morrison thank you so much for that deep dive and the Pearson I think that this is a fascinating program we use and every year I'm amazed the additional features that you add fantastic and so parents at this time if you have questions I'd love for you to meet your microphone and we will call on different parents I'm going to try to do first come first serve so bear with me Miss samaire yeah, I got your picture and everyone thank you guys very much for all this wonderful information one question I had are we still going to be able to check the grades on Skyward as well yes and for parents that are new what we do Pearson is where you check for your grades everyday you have access to those grades 24/7 in the sky world we upload those grades at the end of a quarter at different times of the year and so we always parents know when the sky when the grades have been added to Skyward the grades are automatically added to Skyward every day so if you want to see how your child is performing you need to check out Pearson when the time comes can you print a report card the portal will open in Skyward with your students grades and that's going to be what's going to show up for the older children their transcripts and like I said for the younger children for everyone play the report cards that answer your question yes thank you very much and we will be giving you more information as we get closer to that but right now the only thing you need to be checking is Pearson to keep with your child's progress great thank you great question another question that I frequently get in terms of keeping up with assignments it really is important for our students to keep up with their assignments what we have found is that when you get behind it's really easy to get behind because you're not keeping up with your and then before you know it you have a lot of work to get caught up on and that can be difficult and so what we're asking our students to do yes you have the semester in the course to complete the work but we're asking our students to do to keep up with when the assignments are due and that you're turning it on time you have 24 hours to turn in an assignment in Pearson after the due date so if it's due on August 24th you have until 25th before it shows up red there's a zero that indicates hey wait you need to do this so every assignment has a grace period of 24 hours and we I always tell you is that you have from Midnight to 11:59 p.m. to get to work in so that's plenty of time to fit your school into your life anyone else any other questions and we are recording so if you're asking a student specific questions we will have time at the end when I stop recording well okay yes this Burks good evening everyone my question is I've noticed when I'm doing some of the assignments I have two children one in kindergarten one in that sometimes there's a link the link is broken or there's a worksheet but it's not interactive how important are those things to actually completing the assignment because some things we are just kind of having to even verbally talk about or I'll have to skip over it because there's nothing either tangible for me to show them or like I mentioned the link is broken what I would do if we remember we talked in the very beginning if you do run into that issue you see those support that support an interactive line there if you do see that those links are broken reach out to support and let them know that those links are broken so they can fix that information because it may be where they've updated the system and some of the did not carry over but make sure that you reach out even if it's just like I'm the interactive afford to send them a message so that they notice that they can go in and fix that information because that shouldn't be happening definitely in the event that you do Allen to that please reach out to our contact after 4 so that they can fix that and then they'll even send you a document document or whatever you may need that is pertaining to that assignment so definitely make sure that you reach out to that support line 2 you shouldn't have to be I'm trying to find extra work to compensate for what's not there so definitely please reach out to Fort Lawn thank you you're welcome thank you so much for sharing that information with us and will be fall yep with you on that because we definitely want to know if there's an activity or an assignment that you are not able to access let's same as Westin hey so I have a question my son is a sophomore and so he's got that 10th grade English class and so a lot of the grammar activities you have to go into the writing with power textbook and do some things like I'm looking at one from last week there's some practice skills to do on different workbook different pages from that textbook did those get turned in if so how did those get turned in and then if they do how can he check his answers you're needed those assignments when he's working through and I don't have it right in front of me but when he's working through is there a submit button that there first thing that first I honestly do is to reach out to your teacher just to ensure that he hasn't missed any deadlines and to make sure that those assignments need to be turned in that will be first and I know you probably already done that but just to ensure that you know are all bases are covered I would do that and just because they may have a I have a different process of how they want those assignments to be turned in on how their second gold assignment or they're just looking at those apartments so I would definitely reach out to the teacher and find out exactly what their their method is and what they're actually using in that particular courts on how those assignments and those those activities are going to be graded or if they're graded at all so in my parent view some of the activity Icy Hot there blue there is a hyperlink but in those other activities there's not a hyperlink to that so I just like I said I kind of figured that it wasn't something to turn in I am not in his view I can't get to you right now but some of the activities do have those hyperlink but what I would do even though it's not that the iPhone link is in there with your work through it because it could be perhaps something that they are possibly maybe having to read that as they continue to get into a different a fine that information may have been useful for something down the road I'll Take Everything builds upon each other so it's that may not have been a great part of that assignment but it just may be filled up with that lead in to an apartment. I'll be coming later on yeah doctor Morris and answer we're going to say the same thing I did all she did say the same thing I was going to say mrs. Weston when he's doing his assignment if there's no submit button if there's no hyperlink those there's a silencer like there their hierarchical hierarchical their chronological order nope it's just something like what dr. Morrison said if it may just be reading a paragraph but if it gets the check mark on that number to Simon that's going to open up the future assignments weather today Westmont yes to upload something like that so we had to make sure he goes to that slide just like you're reading a page in the book you got to do every one of them thank you and something that we're doing we're having a Google meet so we're going with parents or students that are asking questions don't hesitate because this is something where we can set up a mini Google meet and just kind of go over that English 10 lesson and go over that practice sheet and look at and kind of walk you through the Pearson platform thank you yes I've been doing a lot of it today got it let Jenny the right questions and I love the fact that you are diving into this already and know so much at such an early time of the anyone else have any questions or comments well at this point this does conclude our meeting this evening we thank you so much for being here we will stay online for a few minutes I will stop according just in case you have any last-minute questions or something you want to share but at this point I will stop recording and I just want to thank dr. Morrison again for being here this evening thank you all for joining us you really appreciate your time and
