Distance Learning for InD and ASD: Let's Connect!
We are excited to connect with you during this time that our district's physical school buildings are closed. We know the learning doesn't stop with our students or our teachers!
This site will be used to share information- both from our team to you and it will be a means to share information with one another.
All of our distance learning information and much more can be found at icp.dadeschools.net .
Do you have ideas you would like to share with both colleagues and
our team? Visit our Padlet and show us what you've got!

i-Ready Teacher Toolbox
Distance Learning Platforms We
LOVE
It is critical that our SWDs have additional opportunities for explicit instruction and more practice with concepts being taught. We see the Teacher Toolbox often in our elementary pacing guides. We are sharing this for our middle school teacher friends. This is available for K-8 teachers and you have video tutorials, additional activities for practice, and it is great. If you haven't created your account yet, click on "Register Now" and create your account using your dadeschools email. This platform is an excellent place to locate supplemental tasks to support our students who are working below the grade level and need that supplemental support. Don't let this resource pass you by!
Learning A-Z
We have e-mailed your school sites to remind teams about login information! Please check-in with your administrator or contact our team if you forgot!
Learning A-Z offers their programs Reading A-Z and Science A-Z. These platforms offer lesson plans, related activities, stories, and quizzes for your students.
IXL Personalized Learning Platform
Are you an ESE teacher that has multiple grades in your classroom? If so, IXL is an excellent platform for you, It will allow you to assign lessons by grade level for your students to complete. This platform is very user-friendly. Take a look at our video overview to see if IXL would be helpful for you.
