We are dedicated to supporting a collaborative, creative environment where all ideas are heard and valued, and we learn from one-another. Instructional Design Strategists are available to help create a support system for teachers, to extend teacher networks and assist with the projects and ideas teachers might simply not have time for.
Who will know about what I discuss with an IDS?
Only the people you tell. Anah and Seth keep a log of contacts for our own records but we will not disclose the details unless you give consent. It is important to us that teachers understand that IDS conversations with staff are confidential. We cannot discuss our conversations with you with anyone, including principals, unless a student is in danger.
What can an IDS do for me?

- Develop materials with you
- Develop curriculum with you
- Provide resources for you
- Participate in study groups with you
- Participate in professional development activities with you
- Assist you with student assessment or examining data
- Assist you with student instruction (this could be one-on-one or during Viking Time or during your regular class period)
- Co-planning lessons
- Holding team meetings
- Work together to analyze student work
- Have a one-time or continuous discussion about teaching and learning
- Collaborate in creating professional development presentations
Work together within the classroom...
- Sub for you so you can observe another teachers
- Sub for you so you can observe one of your students in another class
