Teacher Account Settings (Exemplars) ● Profle picture is set.

This allows students to make a personal connection with the person behind the screen. ● Set notifcation preferences in account settings and forward messages from Canvas inbox to email. ● Optional: select pronouns you identify with. ○ For example: she/her, he/him, they/them.

Canvas Course (Exemplars) ● Every K-12 teacher uses and publishes the course that is created through the Canvas/Skyward sync. ○ K-5 minimum: teachers will publish and use their Homeroom, ○ If you are an educator who does not have a course created through the Canvas/Skyward sync, you may create your own course. (this applies to counselors, specialists, AC & ETC coaches, etc.)

● Optional: cross-list courses that represent multiple sections that are present in their Skyward gradebook. If you have not done this before, work with your school’s ed tech coach. ○ K-5: This is most applicable for Dual Immersion teacher teams.
