NCVPS Moving to New Communication and Training Model [E-lert for April 1]

In an effort to create better, more strategic communication and training structures, NCVPS/LEO will be rolling out a new model for districts. This model will focus on three important tenets:

1. Each district will have a SINGLE point of contact for e-learning issues that should be identified by the district superintendent and/or their designee. This contact person should be identified as an academic leader who understands the importance of building support structures for online learners.

2. NCVPS will conduct training(s) to empower this single point of contact to lead virtual learning in his/her district. This training will include resources for training schools and other stakeholders in the district whose role facilitates the success of virtual learners.

3. A focused communication process will be implemented in order to assure accountability and continued success.

To introduce this new model, we are going to conduct two webinars for central office personnel on April 13th and 14th at 9 a.m. each morning. This will be a strategic meeting for the district leadership. We will have a training webinar for school-level DLAs at a later time.

Here is the link to the webinar:
