This professional development activity/course is designed for:
Northstar trainer, Theresa Sladek, will present this first of a series of three workshops to introduce the many features of the paid version of the Northstar Digital Literacy platform. In this first workshop, she will introduce you to the essential components of the Northstar platform, including the Northstar Digital Literacy Standards, digital assessments, the classroom-focused curriculum (which supports the Northstar Digital Literacy Standards and the College and Career Readiness Standards), the self-directed Northstar Online Learning modules, and the Northstar reporting features. You will leave with an understanding of what each feature has to offer and a plan for how you can use it to advance digital literacy in your program.
Note: This same workshop was offered in June 2023 and will be offered again on November 17th.
This is the first in a three-part series of workshops. The next workshop, Getting Started With Northstar Digital Literacy on September 29th, will offer specific information about initial steps to take such as creating learner accounts and running reports. Each session can stand on its own, but we recommend attending both sessions. You should also look for Introducing Learners to Northstar on October 6th.
