  • Tailor instruction to meet the needs of students with unfinished learning, students with disabilities, and multilingual learners
  • Internalize the instructional practice shifts embedded in the curriculum by experiencing a lesson immersion

Skyline Essentials Badges

Courses include how to navigate Skyline, plan and teach lessons and administer assessments using the Skyline digital learning ecosystem.  The Navigating, Planning, Teaching, and Assessing 1&2 badges are required for new Skyline adopting teachers.  Access Skyline Essential Badges HERE!
