Using myFolio for Sharing and Capturing Conversations

The myFolio platform provides tools intentionally designed for users to collaborate, share, and most importantly capture the conversations happening daily in your school. This is especially helpful as school leaders, faculty, and staff create new school-wide, departmental, and individual goals.

Goals Page

Post custom instructions on the Goals Page that includes school-wide goals that every Folio user can see and reference for their individual goals.  If you are clear about expectations for faculty, it will help them brainstorm how to transfer school expectations into action at the individual level. Consider goals such as:

• How might we find a balance between screen time and other work, in order to prevent students from spending all day on a computer?
• How might we infuse an element of fun and care into our classes, in order to tend to the emotional needs of our students?
• How might we rethink our approach to assessments, in order to preserve the integrity of each student’s work and engage them in higher order thinking skills?

Workspaces

When groups of teachers participate in online brainstorming around goals and goal setting, they can share their ideas, thoughts and questions in a dedicated Workspace. They can also create a timeline for their next group actions.

School Resources

School Resources is a useful place to curate links to apps used internally at your school instead of posting them on your school's website.

Milestones

Maintaining schedules is critical as our days flow into evenings, weekdays suddenly become weekends. Adjusting your end of year milestones in the timeline to meet the needs of your faculty will make this easier.
