Blackboard as our 4K-12 Learning Management System (LMS)

If there is one thing that we have heard loud and clear from our students and our parents during virtual learning this spring, it was the request that we PLEASE use a common system where curriculum resources, communication and materials are all located in one spot. Waukesha is poised to meet this request and we are all going to rise up to this expectation and opportunity!
All of our secondary staff have learned about this expectation already, but for our elementary staff, this blog will be new information.
Subsequent Connect posts and school communication will outline in much more detail in the coming weeks our plans for support.



























A few Blackboard supports for those that want to get a jump start:
Teacher Development Program (TDP) Blackboard Self Paced Courses 101, 102, 103 (Registration Link)
Staff Help Site Blackboard Page 
Blackboard Teacher Help Page
Digital Learning Tools

Although I would say that it was a goal for our system to build this robust learning management system for all levels, COVID has upped our timeline in this area. As one of our core goals to provide a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all and prioritizing equity and access for all...our collective work together on this will positively impact all students in Waukesha moving forward.
