Our state and nation continue to struggle with the need to address issues of racism, systems of oppression, equality for all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or background, and individual bias.
In addition, Michigan teachers, administrators, and support staff are facing many new challenges as schools strive to serve all student populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
By utilizing GEER funding, these online modules are made available at no cost.
The series of fourteen modules will identify the latest research and best practices for serving a variety of special populations in face-to-face and remote settings, as well as cover several important topics designed to promote inclusive teaching and learning, including SEL and trauma-informed education.
Michigan Virtual is proud to offer a personalized list of recommendations, based on your knowledge and experience with CASEL’s social and emotional learning competencies. Select the button below to take a quick self-assessment to get your customized course recommendations.
The modules will be available online at no cost to Michigan school personnel in a non-facilitated format. State Continuing Education Credits will be awarded upon successful completion of modules. To address sustainability concerns, each project partner may also offer additional fee-based delivery options for the professional development modules that include facilitation, coaching, technical assistance, or other support services not covered by grant funds. Please note that as of December 20, 2021, learners who have enrolled in a course provided by the GEER grant may be contacted about participating in program evaluation to better understand the needs of our learners.
