What Is Required To Become Certified?

1

Complete end-of-module assessments
For modules 1-4, you must answer all questions and get 80% correct on multiple choice questions

2

Schedule a 15-minute 1:1 check-in at the mid-point
This will be an opportunity for us to get to know you and answer any questions you may have.

3

Submit one artifact to the Teacher Corner that showcases how you use ASSISTments in your classroom. You will submit this via the Module 5 Completion Form.

Create 15 assignments within ASSISTments, that 10 or more students complete, within the past month. We will verify this data in our system once you submit your Module 5 Completion Form

The Final Completion Form.

How Long Will It Take?

We estimate between 3-4 hours, but this will vary depending on how familiar you are with ASSISTments. For new or novice users, it may take 5-6 hours, as you will be learning a lot of new information! If you are an experienced user and already know everything in the module, you can skip ahead to the assessment. If you did this for every module, you could be done in an hour. It’s all self-paced and up to you!
