Managebac Level – I

Managebac Training

Don’t forget about the Managebac training sessions for all MYP and DP teachers during lunchtime to prepare for using it in the fall. We will be offering 3 levels of training in order to ensure teachers are prepared for this change, and awarding digital badges to recognize mastery levels.

Managebac Level I training will be offered today from 1300 in D218. The instructional portion of the training will be around 20-30 minutes, but Cindy and Joe will be available for the duration of the lunch break to answer questions and facilitate deeper dives. All MS/US teachers must attend at least one session prior to the end of the school year (and before taking any other levels of Managebac training). Level I will cover the following:

Assessment connecting the unit plans that have been created in Managebac to assessment tasks and learning activities, including how to navigate between these elements.

Teachers will be able to:

  1. Create/Modify/Delete categories of assessment tasks (i.e. quizzes, tests, projects, etc.)
  2. Create/Modify/Delete types of assessment tasks (i.e. Formative vs. Summative)
    a. Create/Modify/Delete task-specific clarifications related to assessment tasks
  3. Add resources to Units and Tasks and edit the organization of them
  4. Understand how the Resource/Stream feature works
  5. Connect Task submissions to Turnitin Feedback Studio
  6. Develop an understanding of basic navigation within Managebac

We look forward to hosting you in D218 at 1300! Special thanks to Danny for the use of his classroom.
