Each week you'll receive a new focus strategy with videos to strengthen your background of the strategy, sharpen your skills in using the strategy, prep materials for the strategy to use online or on site, and extend beyond the basics with advanced insider tips and ideas.
Watch the videos and prep your materials anytime during the week! We'll live in that strategy with you during the week and support you as you implement strategies to meet the current needs of your students.
LIVE BONUS: We're live every week for a Q&A Zoom session!
COMMUNITY BONUS: You'll be part of a community that includes your school staff and other educators taking the same course. Each session includes access to the Acceleration Community to share ideas, questions and resources with each other throughout the course.

What are people saying about Accceleration?
The 6 Week OCDE Project GLAD Acceleration course has been amazing! Such a great way to continue my journey with GLAD and reinforcing all of the strategies we observed in the classroom demonstration. I am loving the support with learning about applying these strategies digitally with distance learning. Most of all, the learning of so many great ideas from the collaboration within the community of teachers!
