Top 5 AMC Issues Addressed
- login to your admin account
- select the data tab
- select the "teacher icon" (the red-headed female icon)
- select the teacher name (you may need to search if your staff is large)
- click the "pencil" icon beside the teacher's name
- click "view" beside password and share this info with the teacher
- Please refrain from changing teacher passwords as the building admin
Access for Schools below 80%
- If you have teachers who want to use AMC please allow them to login. We were able to secure extra slots for the high demand and are happy to accommodate any teacher interested in assessing.
AMC Training
We are happy to train your staff but you need to contact us and schedule.
Training Options:
- During 90min planning (most ideal, real time assessing of live children)
- During 45min planning (less ideal, involves watching video of assessments and practicing afterwards)
- After school training (more ideal for teachers who know how to assess and read reports but need help selecting activities)
Process for Ordering AMC Materials:
- Email Kaneka or Gabe with your materials need
- Provide information about the school plan for training teachers in use of materials
- Materials will be shipped to your school from the warehouse
How do we order Investigations Materials?
Manipulatives like base 10 blocks, coins, stamps, pattern blocks, snap cubes... and such are the product of old NC manipulative kits and are over 9 years old. Schools in need of more math materials like these can contact Ryan Dougherty with ETA hand2mind at:
