Are you ready for a REBOOT!?
It’s a new year, so we have redesigned, refreshed, and rebooted our Blended Learning courses.
Formerly known as “Blended Learning,” we have updated the format name to “Hybrid/Blended Learning” (HBL) which more accurately represents your course experience! This format provides a mix of online module requirements plus in-person-virtual learning, giving you the best of both worlds—and, you can meet any district requirements for instructor interaction!
One major benefit of our Hybrid/Blended Learning courses is connecting and learning with a community of teachers! You will have the opportunity to interact with the course facilitator and other teachers from across the nation. The live, synchronous learning environment is particularly beneficial for teachers who prefer a more interactive, collaborative learning experience. By participating in the one required 2-hour synchronous session, you can ask questions, engage in discussions, and get feedback in real time!
Along with a new name comes two exciting changes to the Hybrid/Blended Learning Courses in 2023:
1. Hybrid/Blended Learning is now available ALL YEAR
In the past, these courses were only available 3 times during the year. Beginning February 1st, you will be able to register for the Hybrid/Blended Learning courses anytime, with the synchronous sessions available on a monthly cadence.
2. Choose Your Live Synchronous Session
The live, synchronous sessions include content that is ripe for interaction, discussion, and conversation! After registering for your Hybrid/Blended Learning course, you will select one 2-hour synchronous (Zoom) session from the dates/times listed in the online course environment, then receive an email confirmation from Zoom (piece-o-cake!).

This course gives plenty of techniques and strategies for K-8 teachers to proactively assist students in achieving target behaviors through positive behavior intervention. By deconstructing the functions of the problem behaviors, educational professionals can address the root of a child’s issue instead of simply addressing the behavior. This course gives a solid road map for the philosophy behind positive behavior intervention systems (PBIS) while offering several different ways to get you (and your students) to your destination: appropriate behavior that is conducive to a positive learning environment.
