onpoint personalized learning benchmark score
the shift to personalized learning can be challenging, with ups and downs along the way. no matter how successful you are as a district, you likely have questions like "are we doing this right?" "how do we compare to other districts?" and "how do we know if we are spending resources and time in the right areas?"

use touchpoint to manage your meetings
it’s always difficult to find time when everyone can meet, and those minutes are precious. touchpoint, our project management tool, can help you make the most of each meeting through a shared, visual roadmap and clear actions for each phase of work. touchpoint creates meeting alignment between the district and each school site in 3 steps:
1) before the meeting
add the meeting or milestone to the roadmap. when you manage and track your meetings and milestones on the roadmap, it helps to create the alignment needed to make your initiative successful. the roadmap is a shared, visual tool with clear actions for each phase of work.
2) during the meeting
set the right tone. reinstate why the team is meeting, review the agenda items, and add any new ones brought up by the team.the feeling of progress helps to keep the team focused on what absolutely needs to get done. touchpoint makes it easy to end a meeting with defined next steps, deadlines, and individual responsibilities.
3) after the meeting
complete your actions and check them off. your team has clear next steps and a quick way to report on them. all they have to do is log in to touchpoint and check their action items off as they are completed.is someone falling behind or there's something you need to bring to the team's attention? use the email feature to message them.
touchpoint is designed to help structure the flow of your meetings and organize resources. it will save time, keep things organized, and help your team to stay focused.
