How does OSD prepare teachers for Digital Elevation?

Google for Education Certification Programs

Ogden School District has three Google for Education certification tracks: 1) summer boot camp, 2) semester-long online/blended track, and 3) embedded face-to-face training at our schools implementing Digital Elevation.

Our Google certification tracks support all teachers enhance their instruction through the use of Google’s powerful suite of tools and preparing to pass the Level 1 or Level 2 Google Certified Educator Exams.

Blended Learning With Canvas

Teachers in the Digital Elevation program receive specific training and support in using the Canvas learning management system (LMS).

Teachers use Canvas to help your child interact with their schoolwork, manage their assignments, submit homework, and keep track of due dates. With Canvas, students and parents can see the details behind your student’s digital assignments.

Classroom Management With Technology

Helping students learn and collaborate with technology requires teachers to employ specific strategies to help students learn. We work with teachers to best support students follow and thrive under the Student Acceptable Use Policy. 

This training also helps teachers build digital citizenship among our students that empowers kids to grow into successful adults.

BootUp Professional Development

Through professional development, BootUp trains teachers to empower their students as they become creators, collaborators, communicators, logical thinkers, and real-world problem-solvers.

BootUp empowers all elementary students by immersing them in practical and imaginative curricula that extends beyond coding. BootUp professional development initiatives give students access to important 21st-century skills – particularly girls and underrepresented minority students. With BootUp Professional Development, now, coding is elementary.
