BadgerLink
BadgerLink is an online information service that is available to all Wisconsin residents. Its goal is to provide access to quality online information resources for Wisconsin residents in cooperation with the state's public, school, academic, and special libraries and Internet Service Providers. Most internet service providers in Wisconsin will be able to provide access without a login. In some instances, users may need to enter their public library ID number to gain access. This is a great way to access thousands of newspapers, magazines and professional journals quickly and easily. Visit BadgerLink today.
Wisconsin Model Academic Standards
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has created recommended standards for academic subjects for the fourth, eight and twelfth grades. While Nicolet has in some instances, adopted their own standards, a visit to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction site will help teachers, parents and community members understand the scope of learning in the various subject areas.
Common Core State Standards
The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the rea world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.
WISEdash
WISEdash is a site maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for the purpose of displaying data dashboards relating to the performance of school districts based on a variety of measures. The WISEdash site was created to help educators, parents and community members understand the data behind successful schools
Teacher Home Pages
Nicolet teachers host class information web pages as a reference for students and parents to be able to view grading practices and teacher contact information. Additionally, some teachers post information about current and upcoming class assignments. Your student will receive information about this in class and some teachers will distribute home page information during the "Back to School" night and parent conferences. Teacher web page links are available in Skyward Family Access, they are available by looking at the department information within the Academics tab on this web page, and they are accessible by searching our staff directory for the teacher's last name, which will return their email and their web address.
TurnItIn.com
TurnItIn.com is a web based service that Nicolet uses for two primary purposes. Nicolet teachers use it to share papers anonymously so that students are able to write peer reviews of work that others in their classes are doing. They also use it to verify the citations that students make in papers that they write. Students who acquire information during the research process are required to properly document the source in their bibliography. This service enables teachers and students to verify that sources have been given proper credit in the bibliography.
Standards for Wisconsin Teachers
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has developed and published 10 standards for all teachers in the profession. The standards address the various facets of being a professional educator. While these standards will be used as part of the PI-34 recertification process , it is a good idea for all teachers to learn more about the standards and begin to participate in professional development in areas where they perceive a need for further study.
