These updates are to questions that arose in the first training on March 8th. 

All answers are from Ms. Bastro--the director for INVEST for the district.

Question: Will we need to include the Artifact Reflection form(INV7) with our artifacts?

Answer: NO...once you upload the artifact and complete all sections that meets the requirements.

Question: Will we need to complete the Professional Development Log found in MyLearningPlan and complete the Professional Development Form (INV8).

Answer: Everyone must upload their PD into the forms in MyLearningPlan. There are 2 sections provided for up to 20 PD Sessions. If you need more space or sections you can upload your INV8 as an artifact. 

Also--don't forget your certificates! Those can be uploaded as well as an artifact.

Need more assistance with this? Need a hands-on demonstration? There will be 2 sessions available for you to stop by and meet with Mrs. Glass. 

Tomorrow: Thursday, March 8th, 7-7:30 am in the Science Lab
