Prerequisite: Introduction to Digital Literacy

This course offers supported exploration of the online resource Northstar so that tutors can feel prepared to introduce the curriculum to their students. Tutors will navigate the platform as a student and have time to try out the assessments and online practice. They will also role play teaching with Northstar teacher-led lesson scripts.

Required equipment: You will need to join this training on a computer or laptop. Northstar is not fully compatible with mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). Please note that you may be asked to participate in discussion. Plan to join us from a quiet setting where you can use your audio.

*Wisconsin Literacy members looking to customize this training for a group of tutors can contact jamie@wisconsinliteracy.org
