Registration and Logistics for Completing the Modules
The modules use the Canvas LMS platform and are entirely self-paced. The exercises will take approximately 2.5-3 hours to complete. The exercises include watching interactive videos with embedded questions and conducting short open ended exercises. To complete the modules, practitioners will be asked to submit a final reflective assignment that asks you to apply the learning to your own work. Upon completion you will receive a certificate as evidence of your professional development.
How to Complete the Module as a Team
We highly encourage teams of practitioners to create a learning community by watching the videos in the module as a group and/or have group discussions about their final assignment. The activities can be completed in any order and are self-paced, but practitioners can use their team members to stay accountable to complete certain sections by meeting once a week over a month's time, until the module is completed. It should take on average approximately 3 hours to complete all the required assignments and video activities.
Each practitioner will need to submit their own reflections on the discussion boards and a separate final assignment in order to receive individual certificates of completion. When an individual practitioner completes their required assignments, ESCALA will review their reflective exercises as well as time in the module, and send the practitioner a digital certificate as evidence of their completion of 3 hours of professional development.
