Digitally Enhanced Science Learning with the Great Minds® Digital Platform

The Teach space offers all of the content available in the Teacher Edition, as well as additional resources such as lesson slides, tools for facilitating digital lessons, and lesson annotation tools.  

• Each PhD Science Texas lesson provides lesson slides and facilitation tools to engage students during instruction. 
• Implementation supports such as Implementation Guides, Family Tip Sheets, Materials lists, Pacing Guides, and more help teachers plan and teach PhD Science Texas.

The Assign space gives educators powerful tools for distributing assignments and analyzing student work. Here educators can do the following: 

• Create assignments by using any artifact in the PhD Science Texas resource library. 
• Launch assessments and view and monitor progress on assigned assessments and score and analyze completed assessments. 
• Track, manage, monitor, review, and score all class assignments.
  

The Assess space is where educators can easily view and manage all digitally activated PhD Science Texas assessments including Conceptual Checkpoints, End-of-Module Assessments, and Benchmark Assessments, with a combination of auto and manually-scored items. Digital rubrics are also available for the Engineering and Science Challenges for grading and reporting purposes.

The Analyze space is where educators can view reports and insights based on administered assessments for individual students and classes. The Analyze dashboard provides an overview of completed assessments, while detailed reports offer insights into how individual students and classes are performing on assessments against the TEKS.
