Pilot New Hybrid Virtual Pre-K Observation Training

  • 1.  Pilot New Hybrid Virtual Pre-K Observation Training

    Posted 06-11-2020 16:33
    Hi Everyone,

    I am excited to share that Teachstone will be piloting a new approach to Virtual CLASS Observation Training on Monday June 29th-Wednesday July 1st. During this hybrid training, learners will spend half the time engaged in independent online learning and half the time meeting with a Teachstone CLASS Specialist to engage in activities to deepen their understanding of the material covered in the online learning and receive feedback on their developing notetaking and coding skills. We're excited that this new approach will offer additional flexibility to learners and help them avoid zoom fatigue. Here's how the schedule will work:

      • June 29: First set of required online learning (3.5 hrs)
      • June 30 AM: 1st virtual facilitated session (4 hrs)
      • June 30 PM: second set of required online learning (2 hrs)
      • July 1 AM: 2nd virtual facilitated session (4.5 hrs)
      • July 1 PM: Online required post-work (1 hr)
    Pilot participants will be asked to fill out a post-survey to help us learn as much as we can about how to refine the Hybrid training. Like all Pre-K Observation training participants, they'll get access to the reliability test after successfully completing all of the online and face-to-face learning and have the opportunity to become Certified Pre-K Observers.

    You can sign up to participate in the pilot here. We're excited for you to help us innovate!

    Best Regards,
    Campbell

    Hi Donely,

    Because the pilot still allows you to achieve Pre-K CLASS Observer certification, it costs the same amount as our standard observer training. The key benefits to you as a learner in participating would be increased flexibility through the online learning portion, decreased zoom fatigue, and the opportunity to see what's newest at Teachstone and help us refine a new version of the training.

    Best,
    Campbell

    I am interested but am working full time so was wondering what the time of the face-to-face meetings are before I sign up because I can't meet during the times I am in the classroom.
