Canvas is for communication, learning, and much more!

While you may think of Canvas as a place only for the interaction of students and teachers in a remote, hybrid, or in-person learning environment, there are endless solutions it can provide.

If an LEA or charter school does not use Canvas as its traditional Learning Management System (LMS), it nonetheless has a Canvas Lite account. (as part of the NM trust consortium) that could be used for a variety of purposes. LEAs using Canvas as their LMS can create different use cases as well including:

- - Staff development and training for all levels of school personnel such as teachers, librarians, professional staff, and assistants.
  - Human resources onboarding and information.
  - Internal certification or badges
  - Principal's Corner
  - Counseling Center
  - SEL Support
  - Tutoring Services
  - Curriculum repository
  - Common assignments, projects, and assessments for every grade level.
  - Content specialists
  - Shared curriculum development
  - Grade Level Center, i.e. Seniors, 8th Graders, etc
  - Parent Hub
  - Staff Room
  - Video Collections
  - ASB Room

Please reach out to the PED for technical guidance and 'Best Practice' considerations for these types of use cases.
