Are you a school leader, struggling to convert your in-person summer staff training into virtual learning? 

It has been a whirlwind summer, culminating in a cascade of districts opting for fully remote learning this fall. When no one is allowed in the building, that means your staff learning must be done virtually. 

You’ve had to wait through a summer of indecision, and now that the decision has been made, it’s time to put plans into action. 

Converting student learning to the virtual space was difficult enough, but now you are being asked to pull together a week or more of staff training on a short timeline, using tech tools you haven’t used before. 

While it may seem like this is a recipe for disaster, virtual learning can be used for powerful results with the right tools and the right structure. 

In this course, you’ll learn how to set up your Zoom account and technology for a professional facilitator appearance. 

We’ll talk about the schedule of a day and a week to meet outcomes, build relationships, and honor staff wellness. 

You’ll dig into the Zoom tools that will enable you to meet engagement goals and result in powerful learning even over the internet. 

You'll learn about the essential role of a Zoom Backstage Manager to enable you to facilitate seamlessly without worrying about all of the technology at the same time. 

We'll look at ways to build team culture in a virtual setting, and you'll have access to prepared slides for virtual team building activities. 

Finally, you'll get tips for final preparations so that you'll be ready for the big day.

This online course includes six in-depth modules, downloadable tools, discussion boards, and scheduled live Q&A with Stephanie. 

You could pay a consultant like me thousands of dollars to help you get set up. You could join a live webinar and furiously try to take notes, then fumble through putting everything into practice afterwards. Or you can develop your skillset at your own pace, receive valuable templates, and be ready to lead your staff in virtual learning as soon as next week. 

Take advantage of the Free Preview lessons below to experience just a slice of what will be available once you get started with this course. I hope to see you inside soon!
