"In Ohio and nationally, there’s a mismatch between in-demand jobs and workers trained to fill them."
Why watch it, show it to parents, and students? It addresses the skills gap with career and technical needs revealing paths beyond a 4-yr. college degree in the following areas:
Informational Technology
Health Care
Advanced Manufacturing - automation/robotics
Construction
Supply Chain
Cybersecurity

INFOhio is excited to partner with Scholastic, the ESC of Northeast Ohio, Stark County ESC, and Great Start for Great Futures Coalition to bring a full day of fee-free professional development to teachers, administrators, curriculum directors, school librarians, and other educational staff working with students in grades PreK-5.
Don’t miss Pam Allyn, Scholastic’s Vice President of Innovation and Development and the author of Every Child a Super Reader, as the opening keynote presenter. Participants will receive a copy of Ms. Allyn’s book, as well as a copy of a title included in one of Scholastic’s resources, BookFlix or Storia: Ohio’s 4th and 5th Grade eBook Collection, which are available to Ohio schools from INFOhio.
With the renewal of our district premium subscription, I wanted to let you know that you and your students are now able to get Read&Write on your iPad.
I've put together a set of instructions to install, use, and remove. It also contains the link to the Read&Write iPad Guide that I suggest you scroll through prior to installing to see if it will be beneficial for you.
If you feel that it would be helpful for your students, please feel free to share the instructions with them as well.
Although the iPad has some incredible accessibility features built-in, feel free to explore this resource as well to enhance your productivity and overall experience on the device.
Tip: We recommend using your personal Apple ID to access the Apple Teacher Learning Center. If you do not have a personal Apple ID, you may wish to create one.
Feel free to get started and explore these awesome resources. Also, look for more information soon on joining a possible cohort to learn more about the iPads together.
The following resource contains our 1:1 iPad Guidelines for students and parents. This will be a helpful resource to go over with students and refer to if you get any questions about the district-owned iPads.

Apple takes data privacy very seriously and one of the links has a nice overview for parents. Not exciting stuff but important! 😊
