LP6 Work Samples - Important :)

LP6 Work Samples
I will be collecting second semester work samples to submit to Visions during our LP6 meeting.




To be accepted by Visions, work samples:

• must match the assignment in Launchpad (assignment #'s, learning units, etc. that you put in your lesson plans for LP6)
• should not be a multiple choice test 
• must show original student work (no photocopies)
• should not have dates (unless the date falls within the actual dates of LP6)
• should have clear evidence of parent/guardian review
• should be on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper (so it can be easily filed)

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help organizing your LP6 work samples.
