Pine Tree teachers may archive their lesson plans on CSCOPE to meet the requirement of keeping them on file without having to print all of them and turn in hard copies.

To do this, simply click on “My Lessons”.

Then, on the right hand side of the screen, under “Action”, and click “Archive” for each lesson.

It will disappear from that screen but is not really gone.

Once you’ve  clicked “Archive” for each lesson, you are finished.  There should be no lessons showing on the screen at that point.

Spanish for School Personnel teaches the Command Spanish, Inc.® system which focuses on key phrases that educators need to know in order to communicate effectively with Spanish speaking students and parents.

Spanish for School Personnel is appropriate for classroom teachers, school administrators, front office personnel, school nurses, bus drivers, custodians and security staff who have contact with Spanish-speaking students and visitors.

Spanish for School Personnel will focus on conveying a practical knowledge of words and phrases necessary to:  monitor and control non-classroom school settings; respond to medical emergencies; greet and give instructions to parents or visitors; engage in security measures; identify students’ needs; and communicate in the classroom to help manage instruction.  Cross-cultural information is also included.

Spanish for School Personnel is tailored for non-Spanish speaking individuals and is NOT intended for bilingual teachers.  No prior knowledge of Spanish necessary.  A training manual is provided.  Class limit: 20.
