How are these trainings structured?
Each online training will be hosted on Canvas, our online learning system. Canvas works in any web browser and there are mobile apps available for iOS and Android devices. A few days before the beginning of the training, registrants will receive an email with information about how to access the training in Canvas. Content is organized in modules of related topics.
Learning activities typically include:
- 带有可下载幻灯片的短视频讲座，
- 深入探讨研讨会核心概念的无障碍文本;
- 外部专家的视频演讲、演示或演示;
- 额外的资源，如果您想深入了解您感兴趣的主题.
- live video synchronous session(s) with training facilitator(s). We will connect live to discuss topics and engage with questions that emerge from our work together. 这些会议将为那些不能参加现场对话的人录制. These provide an opportunity to connect with each other and extend our knowledge and understanding of the materials. 现场视频会议的数量将根据给定培训的长度而变化.
With the exception of the live video chats, 只要有互联网连接，你就可以随时随地使用这些材料.
Who should participate?
Professionals who serve middle, high school, 任何身份的大学生都可以从我们的培训中受益. However, 课程内容旨在支持不同学习方式的学生, including those with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges. 在线培训是为了适应教育者繁忙的日程安排而设计的, professionals, and parents.
How much time will it take?
培训所包含的“单元”数量各不相同. 一个“单位”相当于大约一周的材料. 充分利用每个在线培训将需要大约 10 hours of engagement per unit of a training. A unit is structured such that participants should be able to work through one “unit” over one week. However, since we understand people have busy schedules and may not be able to finish in this timeframe, 材料将继续在画布网站上提供 longer than the advertised “unit” length. Typically they will remain open for at least five weeks from the start date.

Continuing Education Credits (CEUs)
虽然我们不提供具体的ceu，但参与者将收到 digital badges that attest to participation in the online trainings and include an estimated number of hours of work involved. 这些也可以打印为证书(和/或我们可以协助提供这些)。. 对于许多需要ceu的州教育部门和组织, such a certificate often suffices for obtaining CEU credit—but it really depends on your particular state or organization (so we recommend reaching out to your representatives to see what is needed). 如果需要，我们也可以提供结业证明.
