Implementing an innovative instructional design requires careful planning.

The process of putting together an innovative instructional design takes a great deal of thought and planning.
There are a variety of reasons a school would use Virtual Learning Time. These include, but are not limited to, snow or other inclement weather, professional development, widespread illness, and flooding. It is up to individual school districts to determine how many days they can effectively deliver instruction via Virtual Learning Time, including how many consecutive days.
CESA 7 is equipped to support the assessment of district readiness and the development of an action plan to implement virtual learning time. Attending this one-day CESA 7 workshop will be the launching point for districts to successfully use virtual learning to create quality learning experiences.

Licensing Support
The final portion of our program includes a tutorial on how to apply for your license using the Department of Public Instruction's online licensing platform or otherwise known as the ELO. We understand this step may be intimidating or confusing for candidates so we have built an option that will provide in-person assistance to complete. Your two options are:
If you would like personal assistance when completing the licensing portion of the program simply submit your registration without applying a discount code. For this service the program costs $225.
If you feel you can complete the licensing portion on your own enter "virtual" in the discount code field and click the "apply discount code" button to complete your program 100% virtually for $175.
And don't worry, if you decide you need additional support with the ELO but did not select that option, simply contact CESA 7 and we can make the adjustment to your program and provide the support you need. Payment is due at the time of registration.
After submitting the registration you will be taken to the payment area. Please be sure to complete the steps in Authorize.net to ensure your payment is properly submitted. Once we receive your registration and verify your payment you will receive an email from CESA 7 introducing you to our partners at Master Teacher. At that point Master Teacher will send you your login credentials for the virtual platform. We wish you well with our program!
Please note that the DPI will have separate fees associated with the license application. These can include the application itself - $125, fingerprints through Fieldprint- $36; these are estimated costs. CESA 7 has no control or choice with the costs associated with the DPI license application or process.
Please contact Aaron Malczewski for cancellations or payment questions/issues. amalcewski@cesa7.org or 920-617-5619.
