 Welcome to Get Administrator Started on CESAW. This training is designed to get you up and running on CESAW so you can actively engage with the learning happening in your school. Research shows that schools achieve when leaders promote collective ownership of school outcomes and provide consistent supports to staff, students, and families that need it. CESAW supports you in establishing a stronger presence in your school community, creating a powerful learning loop that brings together students, families, and teachers on CESAW. The first video in the Get Administrator Started playlist will show you the CESAW experience for teachers, students, and families. CESAW brings educators, students, and families together to create a powerful learning loop between the classroom and the home. Connecting families invites families to be part of this learning journey and creates an authentic audience for the students to create their best work. First, let's explore the teacher and student experience. Here is the CESAW journal. Notice we are in the teacher view. Teachers and students have the exact same view of the journal. Here, teachers and students view all posts in the order that it was posted. This is also where teachers and students use the multimodal tools to capture learning in the classroom to allow for deeper engagement. Teachers can engage with student work by tapping the heart to show that they like the student work or by tapping the speech bubble to leave a voice or written comment to give specific feedback to each student. Please note that by default, students can see each other's post in the class journal. This setting can be disabled by the teacher in their class settings. The green Add button is where it all begins. Teachers can post to the class journal by tapping the green Add button then post student work. Teachers will then have access to all the CESAW creative tools to create their post. The green Add button is perfect for quickly capturing day-to-day learning moments. Teachers can find ready-to-assign activities or create their own in their activity library. Teachers get to the activity library by tapping the green Add button and selecting Assign Activity or by tapping the library icon next to Messages. There are four activity libraries in CESAW. My library is where you find CESAW activities you or your teachers save and create. Here teachers have the option to create an activity by tapping Create New Activity. We will discuss activities in the next few slides. Find ready-to-assign standards-aligned lessons that build foundational skills that students need the most in the CESAW lessons library. Everyone has access to a sampling of free lessons from every collection. These lessons engage students in multi-dimensional activities using CESAW's powerful learning tools. The School and District library is a collection of activities created by teachers in your district. You can allow your teachers to share high-quality district-to-line activities to this library so all teachers can use them. Finally, the community library contains free activities submitted by our community of CESAW ambassadors and CESAW certified educators. Teachers can also create activities which are structured learning experiences that students can respond to. Activities allow teachers to include learning resources, audio directions, multimedia examples, templates for student responses, and create a space for students to show what they know and reflect on their learning. Assigned activities appear in the Activities tab. The green Add button is one option for posting to the journal. Teachers can also create activities. Activities are structured learning experiences that students can respond to in CESAW. Here is an example activity. Activities can include step-by-step instructions, audio directions, an engaging multimedia example, and an interactive template for students to respond in. Teachers and students have access to all the CESAW multimodal tools to attach photos, videos, and more in the CESAW journal. This session doesn't include how to set up and use your school and district library. Find more information via the link on the slide. Teachers can track engagement and mastery of concepts in CESAW. Completion of activities and skills rating associated with an item is shown here in the Progress tab under Activities View. And if you upload skills, teachers can track student mastery over time in the Progress section by tapping on the Skills View tab. Now let's explore the family experience. In order to establish ongoing positive communication with families, we must ensure that we create an environment in which families feel welcome to actively engage in their child's learning. The first step getting families actively involved is to make sure that families are connected. We recommend that teachers invite family members to connect. They do this by tapping plus families in the bottom right of their teacher journal. They will have the option to print invites or send invites via text or email. Family members use the CESAW app and or go to web.csaw.me and login as a family member. Here we are in the Family View. In the Home tab, families see the most recent posts from all of their children, but only their own children. If enabled, families can like or comment on their child's work. Teachers can control this setting in others in their class settings by tapping the wrench icon. Next is the Journals tab. If families have multiple children connected to CESAW, they can tap on a child's name to view that child's journal. The Messages tab is used by families to view messages from teachers and administrators. Families can type a reply or tap the green app button to add a multimedia attachment. Translation tools ensure every family is involved in their child's learning. When a family member's device is set to a language other than English, any type text like messages, comments, notes, and captions can be translated in one click. Family members will see View Translation when it's available. This means you no longer need to wait for a district translator or in-person meeting to connect with families. You and families have the tools you need right in CESAW. Continue to Part 2 to learn about the CESAW Admin Dashboard.
