I also thought it was classes of some kind but after reading the book that got mailed it doesn't make it any clearer. It seems to be we are just putting together a portfolio?

Hi Katrina,

My name is Megin Ruston, and I am the Online Course Facilitation Manager here at Teachstone. I am following up on your inquiry about your CDA courses. Were you able to get the information you needed? I see you have successfully logged in and started your course work! Be sure to keep an eye out for weekly announcements from your facilitator, Melissa Williams.

Hi Ciara! 

To get started, 1) log into your Teachstone account and confirm that you are able to see your dashboard on the myTeachstone platform.
Then, 2) access your CDA with CLASS courses through the "Learning Hub". This will take you to your Canvas dashboard. (I've attached a screenshot below). And 3) watch this video available on your dashboard to learn the ins and outs of navigating your course.
 You can get started on your course work as soon as you'd like!

I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to reach back out with any questions you may have.

Best,

Megin Ruston

Hi all! Teachstone isn't forthcoming about where to go for classes when sending the book or even after signing up, and it was just a confirmation email of signing up and getting the book/bill 🙄 

 The training/ courses is through Canvas Student. You can either try on the main Canvas Student website (which requires some fill in things) or through your teachstone account (I found this to be easier). If you go through your teachstone account on your main dashboard, you'll see in the "My Professional Development" the list of classes. Click on "Learning Hub" and it'll open up Canvas Student. Hope that helps!

 I was on the same boat but thankfully had courses through a different school but same format using Canvas Student. Now I'm on the hunt to find these threads to answer them since Teachstone hasn't figured out how to send an informational email and packet like any other reasonable teacher would do for their new students.

Hello Patricia,

Thank you providing this information to your fellow learners! I see you have completed CDA Courses 2 and 4, and that you are enrolled for Course 3. Congrats on your progress so far! 
The Teachstone Enrollment Team sends out a "Welcome email" the Friday before courses open with steps on getting started, including this video (also available on your dashboard) to learn the ins and outs of navigating your course. In addition, your facilitator sends out weekly announcements and is available if you ever have questions.

Hi Mirian and all,

My name is Megin Ruston, and I am the Online Course Facilitation Manager here at Teachstone. I'm glad you reached out about your CDA courses. CDA with CLASS is an asynchronous online experience. There are no meeting times, so it fits into your schedule. Just log into your Teachstone account to get started and confirm that you are able to see your dashboard on the myTeachstone platform.
Then, access your CDA with CLASS courses through the "Learning Hub". This will take you to your Canvas dashboard. (I've attached a screenshot below). Finally, watch this video available on your dashboard to learn the ins and outs of navigating your course.
I do see that you are enrolled in the 4-course program, and both courses are open on your dashboard. You can get started on your course work as soon as you log in. You also would have received a "Welcome email" the Friday before your course opened with tips on getting started. If you did not receive this email or you still cannot find your course on your Teachstone dashboard please reach out to the enrollment team via email at enrollment@teachstone.com.

I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to reach back out with any questions you may have.

 

Best,
