Syncing with new Pear Assessment classes: Once new Canvas courses are published, teachers will need to create new course shells in Pear Assessment and sync to their new Canvas courses.

INTUIT Curriculum - Business/Entrepreneurship, Hospitality, And Financial Literacy
Intuit for Education is a FREE, comprehensive financial literacy program designed to equip high school and college students with the skills and confidence they need for financial success. This resource allows you to move beyond textbook theory by providing students with hands-on practice, such as simulating the process of filing taxes or managing business finances, preparing them directly for real-life financial challenges.
This was shared by Erica Settelen, Academic Program Consultant, but I thought it would be a great resource for ALL CTE teachers, so wanted to pass it along!!!
There are many ways to take notes. It’s helpful to try out different methods and determine which work best for you in different situations. Whether you are learning online or in person, the physical act of writing can help you remember better than just listening or reading. Research shows that taking notes by hand is more effective than typing on a laptop. Below is a link to the Cornell Notetaking System site and a Canvas module that will teach you about different note-taking systems and styles and help you determine what will work best for your situation.
