This application requests funding for PearDeck access for four K-5 library teachers with the aim of enhancing students’ research skills and facilitating data comparison across their four schools while implementing a new research curriculum.
Integrating a digital tool like PearDeck offers added support, aiding library teachers in tracking student progress and making personalized adjustments. Implementing common assessments at specific points in research units will enable modifications. Furthermore, in our PLC meetings, we will analyze the data and develop RTI activities to ensure all students meet their objectives. Finally, we will share with our Department best practices and newly updated lessons for teaching research.
