For virtual sessions, camera will need to be on for 100% of class time for participation to be accounted for. Participants will need to create a distraction free environment for virtual learning (no pets, kids, or other family members) and comply with specified zoom guidelines to receive credit for training hours. Make-up work will be permitted on a case-by-case basis for emergencies and extenuating circumstances. If this does not seem attainable in your life at this moment, please find another teacher training program that is well-suited to your needs at this time!
