If you missed the June Introduction to Northstar workshop on June 9th with Theresa Sladek from Northstar, or would like to review it again, join us for this blended PD opportunity. Participants will view the Introduction to Northstar workshop video on their own before participating in a facilitated online meeting with Diana Satin where she will review the salient points of the June training and answer any questions. In the Introduction to Northstar session, Theresa introduced the essential components of the Northstar platform, including:
- Northstar Digital Literacy Standards
- Digital assessments
- Classroom-focused curriculum which supports the Northstar Digital Literacy Standards and the College and Career Readiness Standards
- Self-directed Northstar Online Learning modules
- Northstar reporting features
You will leave with an understanding of what each feature has to offer and a plan for how to use it to advance digital literacy at your program. Once you register, you will receive a Zoom link for the online meeting from Kathleen O'Connell or Jane Brandt at least a week beforehand.
Diana is offering another blended opportunity on August 25th to view, or review, Getting Started With Northstar Digital Literacy (from June 16th), which offers specific information about initial steps to take to get started, such as creating learner accounts and running reports.
Additional workshops with Theresa Sladek will be offered in September and October.
