School Officials Explain 'Fayette Connects'
Sydney Spencer
During the May 8 Fay
ette County Board of Educa
tion work session, Assistant
Superintendent of Student
Achievement Kim Herron
and instructional support
teacher Sheila Autrey spoke
about how teachers within
Fayette County Public
Schools will utilize the “Fay
ette Connects” digital re
search center to align
resources in the four core
content areas.
“It’s really encompass
ing instructional resources,
specifically in the four core
areas where we’ve started,
with English-language arts,
math, social studies, and
science. We have named it
Fayette Connects,” Herron
said.
Autrey explained how
Fayette Connects is a reli
able and valuable resource
for her and other teachers
when identifying and meet
ing Georgia standards of
teaching.
“On these pages for the
Fayette Connects dash
board, we can find scoping
sequence for all of our grade
levels and all of our four
core curriculum areas,” Au
trey said. “We also can
easily click and find our
Georgia standards which
we’re required to work with.
“On every one of our
content areas for different
grade levels, we have units
that have been built by our
curriculum teams,” she con
tinued. “In those units there
are linked resources, time
lines to keep us on pace, and
all sorts of fantastic infor
mation to help us be better
teachers and do what we
need to do.”
Autrey works with
teachers in grades K-12 and
explained how she needs to
understand the core re
sources students are ex
pected to learn and the
resources teachers are ex
pected to use.
“What we wanted, as
teachers, is a concise plat
form that’s easy to use,” Au
trey said. “Free of clutter.
Not a lot of clicks. This is
clutter-free - buttons are
easy to find and very clear.
And then consistent. This is
amazing for teachers who
work across multiple grade
levels and in different
areas.”
Concluding the presen
tation, Herron and Autrey
thanked the board for allow
ing them to give feedback on
the introduction of Fayette
Connects.
