Goals for Today • Purpose of the Formative Conference • How to log into Canvas to review Forms 2A-C (goal forms) • How to document the Formative Conference • How to submit the Formative Conference documentation (Form 3) in Canvas • How supervisors may view submissions in Canvas
I. Purpose of the Formative Conference • Face-to-face conference conducted in December 2013/January 2014 • Purpose is to examine indicators of MPES goals attainment thus far • MPES goals may not be changed unless expressly permitted by the Office of Federal Programs (e.g., an example of an instance where a goal should be changed is a QDI-based goal) • Role of supervisor during the Formative Conference is to assist and support the principal, asst. principal, or CTE director as needed to ensure the best possible chance of achieving MPES goals
II. How to Log into Canvas and Review Forms 2A-C Principals, asst. principals, and CTE directors should print and review their Forms 2A-C prior to the Formative Conference: Helpful Hints for Logging Into Canvas: • Correct URL is https://mde.instructure.com/login • NOT “canvas.instructure.com” • NOT “www” • Firefox, Chrome, or Safari preferable (Internet Explorer 9 or 10 should also work) • If you cannot remember your username or password, click “Don’t know your password?” You will receive an email with your username at the top and a link to reset your password.
II. How to Log into Canvas and Review Forms 2A-C, Cont. Helpful Hints for Logging In, Cont.: • Your username is typically your licensure number, not your email address. • The software and browser you are using may cause the login screen to look slightly different, but remember to enter your licensure number instead of your email address. Differences are caused by cross-platform performance capabilities.
