The SYSD/EdCaliber Partnership
Piloted in early 2012, SYSD has utilized the EdCaliber platform to achieve three main goals:
1. Coordinating Calendars to Streamline Planning and Pacing Guides
2. Aggregating Power Hour and Other District-Wide Resources
3. Encouraging Teacher Collaboration and Ongoing Professional Development

Quote
"EdCaliber transformed how San Ysidro School District designed its lessons. It ushered a new model of lesson planning into the district, which helped teachers access professional content and resources to create individual and collaborative lessons. SYSD had set rigorous goals; EdCaliber helped SYSD maintain high interest, and improved both instructional delivery and student achievement."

Quote
It's a wonder how we previously got along without EdCaliber, since now it is always our starting point whenever we team to lesson plan and collaborate. EdCaliber saves us time by having all our resources at our fingertips and enables us to be more efficient educators. EdCaliber is a tool every teacher should have to make his/her teaching experience organized and simplified.
