I am currently working with OCTO to get Read & Write Gold on each of the student laptops (we are almost done). This doesn't mean you have to wait to learn how to use it! Read & Write Gold is a powerful toolbar that allows students to get the most out of internet browsers, Google drive docs and/or word documents. Students will benefit from lessons and practice that allow them to use PARCC accommodation features and good study skills techniques.
Reminder: Get Ready for the PARCC with Read & Write Gold
Read & Write Gold is a customizable toolbar, available for download in all DCPS schools, that provides practice with PARCC-like testing features, such as selecting text, highlighting, pop-up glossary, screen masking, and toggling tools on and off. To support schools in using this resource, the Office of Teaching and Learning is offering professional development sessions on 11/19, 11/20, and 12/4. Educators must register through PD Planner—search for “Read & Write Gold Training.”
