OSDE Connect Transition

ACTION NEEDED: Complete training modules & download certificates before June 15

To all OSDE Connect users,

OSDE is currently in the process of transitioning the current OSDE Connect to a new environment. Our goal is to have the new OSDE Connect up and running later this summer.

During this process, we want to make sure that all OSDE Connect users have the opportunity to complete any work on the current platform before the final transition takes place.

In order to ensure you don't lose any of your work, please do the following ASAP:

  • Complete any training modules that are currently in-progress
  • Download and save any certificates you have earned. View instructions here.

Access to the current OSDE Connect will end June 15.

We appreciate your attention to this matter, and we can't wait to debut the NEW OSDE Connect in July/August!

If you have questions, contact Susan Pinson at susan.pinson@sde.ok.gov.

Trainings/Webinars

June 22-23: Teacher Clarity Playbook Series - Building Both Method & Mindset

This free professional development will cover The Teacher Clarity Playbook, which offers tools and strategies that will prepare you and your team to design and deliver highly effective instruction. Participants will dive into nine learning modules that systematically detail a process that begins and ends with academic standards, ensuring teaching is organized and intentional.

Each participant will receive a free copy of The Teacher Clarity Playbook.

Learning intentions:

  • Analyze the standards to determine what students need to know
  • Identify learning expectations to ensure that students are engaged and motivated
  • Determine how teachers and their students will know if students are successful in learning
  • Identify what it would mean to learn the content and express that in terms of success criteria
  • Identify summative assessment tools that can be used to determine mastery of the standards
  • Create meaningful learning experiences for students and monitor their response to the instruction

Teacher Clarity Playbook PD
