All math teachers are responsible for following the assessment windows on the PSP Assessment Calendar, as closely as possible. Teachers are to regularly progress monitor their students every 3 weeks. With the limited amount of time math teachers have at their sites, this serves as a quick check for progress. Everyone should be prepared for the 3rd progress monitoring period next week AND for any necessary data collection before winter break. Carefully review the UPDATED- Dec 2014 PSP Reference Guide for Math Assessments. Please use the Math Assessments table for reference and note directions for 1st semester on Page 4.

mClass Accounts Activated
- Returning teachers assigned to the same site(s) for the 2014-2015 school year will have the SAME username and password.
- Teachers that have been assigned a different location this year will have a NEW mClass account created. Once the account is activated, you will receive an email from Amplify that will indicate that one has been created. (Check your junk mail!) You will receive a second email from me, Terin (Hi!) that will tell you what your username is. Teachers MUST carefully follow the directions on the mClass PSP Reference Guide Aug2014 for setting up a new account.
- Teachers assigned to newly participating site(s) may have to be patient as we add these locations to the Title I, Private Schools account on mClass.
2014-2015 PSP Teacher Application FAQs
-Do vendors have to go through this process? NO. Vendors work based on his/her annual contract.
-Do I have to hand deliver my application? NO. As long as your application arrives no later than 5pm this Friday, May 16th, applications may be mailed.
-Can I drop it off during the school day? YES. Only if it does not interfere with instruction (during your lunch hour, en route to your other site, or after work) AND you notify us in advance of the drive-by. We can just run down and get it from you, so you don’t have to park the car.
-Can I have someone else drop it off for me? YES. Make sure their hands are clean when you hand it over to them.
-Do I have to check all of the boxes on the Accountability Agreement? NO. If you sign it, you agree to ALL of it. Checked or unchecked.
