(This person will not have any instructional or grading responsibilities; they will be given the necessary access to run progress reports). This person will also be the local point of contact for communications regarding the program. Specific guidance for running reports is available from the following web resources:
  • Download and complete this spreadsheet, rename it with your district in the file name (Example: itel_AlphUSD.xlsx) Your first entry should be the designated moderator or contact person. Please ensure the first name, last name and email address is correct for each user.
  • Email the spreadsheet to: cdolhelp@gmail.com with the subject “Intentional Teaching for English Learners Enrollment”.

Please allow 1-2 working days for your staff members to be enrolled in the course. Once enrolled, each staff member will receive a welcome letter via email, complete with sign-on instructions, username, and password. We hope this provides you with some support as you navigate this difficult and rapidly evolving situation.
