This course is an interactive training, not a webinar.  Participants are asked to use both audio and video during the course of the training so others can see and interact with them. Training will provide 3 hours of Fundamental Course of Study (FCS) required for all K-12 instructional paraeducators as part of the legislative funding for HB 1115 and SB 6388.

Session will include a brief overview of the certification and training requirements. Participants will:

• Identify the basic regulations and policies that apply to the civil rights of students  

• Describe ways to respond to racism, discrimination, and stereotypes based on family, language, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic background, or other elements of culture

• Define discrimination and recognize unlawful practices

Participants will need both two-way audio and video capabilities via Zoom to be able to participate in the course. Participants will be asked to enable both audio and video to engage in this workshop.

Participants should be duty-free during the course and not stationed in a room with students.

Participants should be adequately spaced in separate rooms to avoid audio interference during the course.

Participants should join on individual devices 1:1.  If this is not possible, 2:1 is acceptable.

Any questions or barriers you may have regarding these technical requirements should be directed to Michelle Grove in advance of the course start date so appropriate accommodations can be accounted for.
