Vanguard VanCon is adding “poster” sessions!!!!
open_in_new zoom_out_map

This just in! We are bringing "poster" sessions to VanCon!

This is your opportunity to share the wonderful things happening in your building! This could be something regarding classroom instruction or teaching pedagogy, student artifacts / work, or the work of your Vanguard / Vanchise team! Rather than creating a "poster", imagine tables set up in rows where you have space to fill with materials and digital resource to showcase and share, collaborate, and discuss your work. We all wanted to find a way to collaborate and share and this is it! Very easy prep and high reward! Reach out if you need more details! Sign up today!

Applications are now open!!!! We are looking for folks to submit applications for concurrent and deep dive sessions along with the new "poster" sessions! https://forms.gle/RqyaRvGT8KUqNy2x5


VanCon is scheduled for Monday, June 15th at the Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center!!!! Mark your calendars and change your vacation plans! You don't want to miss this amazing conference experience JUST for FCS Vanguard members!

Attention all Vanguardians!

Attention all Elementary School Vanguardians! Interested in earning a little extra cash?


We are looking for ES Vanguard members, Seesaw Ambassadors, and experts in Standards Mastery Framework to work on a collaboration with Seesaw to help Standards Mastery Framework come alive in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies K-5. This work requires an understanding of how to develop high quality activities in Seesaw aligned to Standards Mastery Framework Learning Targets from the Learning Maps. This work will also include searching through the Seesaw library of activities already created and aligning those activities to our Standards Mastery Framework Learning Targets from the Learning Maps.


Interested candidates should prepare a Seesaw activity aligned to any learning target on the 3.0 scale of the learning map for an FCS priority standard. The activity may be one you created, or one from the Seesaw library, which you have aligned to an FCS Priority Standard Learning Map using any Learning Target from Scale 3.0. Please take a screenshot of the activity in Seesaw and make sure that it has been labeled with the learning target and priority standard (Ex: ELAGSE3RF3_3.0_2). You will submit the activity as a part of your completed application.


Don't wait, apply today! Applications are due March 13th


Becca is hosting a webinar on February 27 at 3:00 pm to provide more information about this opportunity. Use this link to join:
