What is TVM?

What is the Teacher Verification Model (TVM), and where can I learn more?

The Teacher Verification Model (TVM) is a new distance learning option for Minnesota ABE teachers and programs to count proxy hours for asynchronous lessons that have been verified by a TVM certified teacher.

To be certified to use TVM, individuals must complete modules 1-6 of the new Distance and Blended Learning Basics for Minnesota Adult Education online course, OR the old online DL Basics course, plus modules 5 (MN ABE Distance Education Policy and Procedures) and 6 (TVM in Practice) in the new online course. They must also participate in an individual TVM coaching call or attend a TVM Certification Webinar.
