I'm just wondering...

Which grades is this program for?

While any teacher or school leader will gain benefit from this program, we are focusing on instruction in  the first three years of school.

I don't think I'll have time to watch clips daily. Can I still sign up?

Yes! Our clips are between 10-15 minutes each so if you can't watch/listen to one on the day it is released, you can catch up any time you like.

What is the cost for this program?

This professional learning program is 100% FREE

Can I keep the clips?

Clips will be sent to you in an email each day for 5 days.  You are more than welcome to save them to a folder in your inbox and watch them whenever you like or share them at staff meetings and in professional learning communities. 

Are there assignments or homework?

While we provide the opportunity for reflection throughout the program, how you experience your new learning is up to you.  There is no requirement for follow up work at all.
