1. Learning Cornerstone

2. Goal/Purpose:
To give you an opportunity to get hands-on experience with Cornerstone so that you can easily sign up for Summer 2018 PD sessions when the time comes to do so.

3. What is Cornerstone?
Cornerstone is the new system for registering for professional development.
It will replace SchoolNet, which will disappear on May 31st.

4. Goodbye, SchoolNet!
The district says that all PD on your SchoolNet transcript will transfer over to Cornerstone, but…
You should definitely download anything from your SchoolNet transcript that you don’t want to lose.

5. Cornerstone/PowerSchool
Next year Gradespeed and Chancery are going away, and they will be replaced by PowerSchool. You will be able to take attendance, see schedules, input grades, etc., all in one location.
Cornerstone and PowerSchool are two separate entities, and PowerSchool training will be provided at some point in the future.
PowerSource is a online document and video library with How To's on the different modules available from PowerSchool. Users will have the ability to view distance learning courses on taking attendance and using the PowerTeacher Pro GradeBook.

Go to your transcript, and click on the 3 dots on the right side of the screen, and click Add External Training.

13. Other Things to Know
Most courses will require an evaluation before you will get credit for them. You can complete the evaluation by clicking the black button to the right of a course and choosing Evaluate from the drop down menu.
Be aware that administrators can assign you training based on their assessment of your learning needs; so a course may show up on your transcript that you didn’t choose.
