This is a self-paced and self-guided course housed in the Canvas Learning Management System. We estimate that it will take approximately 4-6 hours to complete.
This time estimate includes time to:
- watch the brief videos,
- complete quick experiential activities in the modules, and
- read the accompanying materials (modest estimate).
Among many individual factors, the length of time will vary due to reading and working speed, or if you implement the lessons with students between participating in the modules. Another factor for time variance is whether this is your first SIM Learning Strategy.
This course includes access to a virtual SIM Professional Developer on Zoom. These online coaching sessions include additional time of approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your requested level of support.
We have had a great deal of positive feedback from educators who have attended an online learning module with a colleague, consider attending with someone from your school or district.
