Have teachers complete ALL of the trainings offered for a teacher to become an Apple Certified Teacher and upload the certificate and badge from the Apple site here to earn a GOLD badge! :)

How to use Istation to help tier students.
Find lessons for tier students.
Goal set with your students.

My last idea would be getting physical activity with students. TSGA offers yoga classes with students or Girls on the Run. That could be proven by taking a selfie with students on in the class/activity you attend. 

The teacher must snap a photo with a parent during Parent Teacher Conferences. The reflection can include how did the conference help build a relationship between the parent and teacher for that student.

This badge is the beginning of implementing an action research project in your classroom.  What do you do when an app, lesson or practice doesn't work in your class the first time? Is it you, the class or the app/lesson/practice?

Choose the scientific method to find out:

1. State your problem
2. Research the topic/app as well as action research
     A. Find out what action research is and is not
     B. Find out what others are doing or have done
3. Create a hypothesis (Best educated guess)
4. Collect data by continuing the app/practice with one class.  
    Try a new app/practice with another class period.
5. Keep data on student growth
6. Reteach using the most effective method with the class
    with less growth

Evidence:  Email contains information about the process, photos, student data

Teachers share their top 3 favorite getting to know you activities they like to do at the beginning of the school year. 

Integrate another subject into your social studies/science lessons. A picture/gif would suffice. 

At cub level must be a part of 1 or 2 professional orginizations within their field.
Bear level must show proof the 3 to 4 professional orginizations within their field.

Many popular children's and YA book authors are willing to connect with classrooms via video chat to answer questions young writers and readers might have. Teachers can "invite the author into their classrooms" and provide evidence by posting pictures of the chat.

Planning event or project that brings parents in the classroom.

Teachers should post about other teachers accomplishing great things in their classroom.
