WCPSS

WCPSS sites
==Often times, websites created by the government are a little tricky to find what you need, or what you don't even realize. There is so much information to be passed on that organizing it effectively is nearly impossible for the highest organized person. So I decided to traipse through the website and see what I could find. Here's what I found! ==

Board of Education Policies This is a very important website because it gives the WCPSS policies, divided into 8 sections. WCPSS has gone digital on their policies handbook, and it is constantly changing. It is a good idea to review this, and also continuously check back to see if anything has changed. While most things should be fairly basic, it would be very disheartening to be doing something well that is helping the students, and then find out it is against the policy.

[|WCPSS Testing Calendar] This website will keep you updated on when standardized testing will occur throughout the year. While I'm sure your school will let you know when important testing is coming up, it is a good idea to know months ahead so that you can begin preparing. This also tells you the names of the tests so that you can do research on them.

WCPSS Assessments This is a list of the major assessments that I know about that WCPSS requires for the monitoring of student progress and achievement. If you know of others or your school uses more that you find useful, feel free to let me know in the discussion board so I can share!

WCPSS Resources This link will send you to some of WCPSS own resources. I have found some great info graphics for various subjects, and how WCPSS suggests we pace our day based on time spent on subjects.

PLC Resource Framework This website helps give information on the terms that will be used during PLCs, or Professional Learning Communities. It is the following image, and each of the underlined terms is clickable to an explanation. It is a great reference for anyone new to WCPSS, or who thinks they know everything.
