Attention all Vanguardians!

• We are looking for 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. Also, this work will 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. The application, and more information for this work will be in the Van Weekly on February 12th! This is an opportunity to earn additional pay. Additional details about the specifics will be forthcoming.

Feel free to email Becca Goddard with any burning questions. goddardr@fultonschools.org
