Empowering Online

Assignments

Although this online course is designed as a 60-hour inservice, please be aware that online courses may require more time than traditional classes. In addition, this course involves a great deal of reading, much of which can be done in "jigsaws." Try to establish a cooperative group for the jigsaws.

To be awarded inservice points, participants must complete and submit both the Staff Development Evaluation form and the Inservice Follow-up form. The Staff Development Evaluation form may be completed and submitted on-line. The Inservice Follow-up form requires signatures so you must print it to complete the information. You may then submit it to the facilitator via the courier (no later than four weeks after the inservice activity.)
