Your September 2020 Teacher's Guide
Dear Teachers,
As I write this letter from home, it’s still unclear what I’m welcoming you back to—school like usual, more months of remote learning, or a mix of both. But with this uncertainty comes a promise: No matter what your classroom looks like this fall, we are here to make your teaching experience as seamless as possible. Each month, this four-page guide will help you plan your lessons by offering a breakdown of your print and digital resources, plus easy tips and tools for teaching with Action.
Here are three easy ways to set yourself up for a successful year:
✔️Learn to share content via Google Classroom or any other LMS at scholastic.com/lms.
✔️Find your classroom password using your dashboard.
✔️Get answers to all your Action Digital questions with our Help & How-To’s.
Please reach out to me if you have additional questions, concerns, or feedback. My inbox is always open!
Warmly,
Kim Tranell, Editorial Director
