StrongMind News

Just in time for the new school year, we are proud to share our new StrongMind Support site.

StrongMind Support (formerly the knowledge base) is your one stop shop to self serve all things StrongMind!

Organized by user role, you can now easily navigate to content that is relevant to you. No account is needed to search content, so head to success.strongmind.com today, or use the button below.

The StrongMind Academic Services Team is excited to offer a new monthly training series. Each training will be hosted for 2 sessions to give your teachers, staff, and administrators the opportunity to attend when it is most convenient for them. If you can’t make it to a session, don’t worry! The sessions will be recorded and shared by your Customer Success Managers, and archived in StrongMind Support.

You will find information on our first session below. Use the button to reserve your spot. Let’s start the year with a strong mind and a strong plan of action!

Bulk Publish/ Unpublish: In Modules, instructors can now bulk publish all modules or individual modules. Instructors have the option to publish all modules and items, publish all modules only, or unpublish all modules and items at the same time. Previously, you had to individually select assignments within each module to unpublish or republish.

Feature Benefit: This update provides instructors additional options and improves efficiency when publishing and unpublishing Modules.

Note: An unpublished module overrides the state of individual module items. If an item is published within an unpublished module, students cannot view the item on the Modules page but can still view the published items in other areas of Canvas. However, they will not be able to interact with the item until the module is published.

View this new feature below. To view the module status menu of individual Modules, click the Module Status Menu [1]. Then, in the drop down menu, select the desired option [2].

Each year the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) recognizes children and youth with exceptionalities who demonstrate their determination and achievements in multiple ways.

Presented each year at the CEC Convention & Expo, the Yes I Can Awards recognize 12 outstanding students with exceptionalities in six categories: Academics, Arts, School & Community Activities, Self-Advocacy, Technology, and Transition.

If you have served a student that stands out to you for their determination, overcoming barriers, or for their academic achievements, I encourage you to nominate them using this link: https://cec1785.wufoo.com/forms/z1jmanlf0tpi1lx/

*NOTE: If you choose to nominate a student, there is a question on the nomination that asks “how did you hear about the Yes I Can Awards”. You can enter "Jaimee Miller", who in addition to being our StrongMind Special Education Compliance Manager, also serves on the Honors Committee and is in the newest leadership cohort with CEC).
