Ideally, professional learning happens throughout the school year with coaching, classroom observations and time to reflect – so that teachers can immediately apply what they're learning to help students. Research has shown that a classroom teacher's "mathematical knowledge for teaching" – a specific type of understand- ing that specifically relates to how stu- dents develop mathematical ideas and conceptions – improves student achieve- ment more than a teacher's ability to deliver a scripted lesson (www .thelearningexchange.ca/wp-content/ uploads/2005/11/BallF05.pdf). DreamBox is developing a new model Math PD (Cont'd. from p. 4) of professional learning in which teachers use up-to-date student progress and profi- ciency insights to identify professional learning objectives that are specific to their students and classrooms. Teachers then decide what they need to learn in a self- directed, modular PD curriculum that's available online, anytime, anywhere. Initial research shows a promising association between how often teachers accessed PD modules and how much their students progressed. DreamBox will soon be publishing extensive data for grades three, four and five. The strength of this technology-enabled PD model will be judged by its impact on student learning. DreamBox believes that when teachers deepen their own mathematical knowledge for topics that are based on students' current demonstrated learning needs, everyone benefits.

With dozens of applications avail- able to work with, each requiring a unique access protocol, the district was struggling to streamline access for all. A single sign-on and rostering platform was the right move for teachers and stu- dents, just so long as it didn't necessari- ly tax the district IT team. Nyugen and his team knew it wouldn't be easy, but also knew they had to set the bar high, sharing, "We needed a robust solution that offered the best chance of success, one that offered a comprehensive suite of tools and the track record to support it." Understanding that the district only had one chance to get it right made it essential for IT leaders to choose the best solution, which led them to ClassLink. The intuitiveness of ClassLink, com- bined with a high level of technical sup- port equated to equally smooth imple- mentation and rollout processes. From needing help on the weekends to responding to daily requests, Orange Unified had a direct connection to ClassLink support when they needed it and were pleased with the responsiveness and agility of the team. District IT were able to deploy their ClassLink server Orange Unified School District (Cont'd. from p. 1) without needing to provision a mainte- nance window and within hours were up and running. Six weeks after implementation, and without formal training for staff and students, the district had 10,000 unique active users per day. Fast-for- ward to today and over 80 percent of their users are active on the platform. District leaders continue to be amazed at how many applications they can do true SSO within the ClassLink plat- form. The district also takes advantage of creating folders and adding their own links within the system to further streamline their resources. To quantify the instructional time saved in the classroom, Orange Unified measured the time spent logging into their top five applications and discov- ered that having a single sign-on pro- duced a savings of 2,500 hours per month. "ClassLink's single sign-on solution captured our attention with its ability to effortlessly pull together all digital resources for our students and teachers," said Nguyen. "The solution is so easy to use, in fact, we noted incredible adoption rates within the first six weeks of rollout and with zero professional development or training."
