FAQ’s

Is this course self-paced?
Yes. You will have lifetime access to the course materials, allowing you to revisit the videos and resources whenever you need a “tune-up” during the school year.
Will I receive a certificate of completion?
Absolutely. Upon finishing all 4 modules you will be issued a certificate from Attuned Educators that can be used for professional development hours (check with your specific district for approval).
Do I need any special software?
