And it connects with tools you already use like Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams. The research-backed EdTeach Assessment Tool will help Ruckus Makers discover their strengths and best area of focus across 5 different modules, including leadership and remote learning. You’ll get a personalized report that shows where you stack up against other leaders, and maps some areas of focus that will have the greatest impact for you.    ORGANIZED BINDER Organized Binder is the missing piece in many classrooms.
