In the time of COVID-19, and with scientific evidence resoundingly underscoring that buildings and indoor spaces can be a first line of defense in mitigating the virus’ impacts, IWBI has been working on tools that help organizations of all kinds implement key strategies around prevention and preparedness, resilience and recovery. As we reopen the places where we learn, work, worship and connect, it is our schools that play the most important role in the development and well-being of our next generation.
“Our classrooms will only be as safe as the way we’re interacting within them. When and how we return to school will vary. But no one plays a more important and influential role than our teachers when it comes to communicating the reasons why new health and safety measures are being implemented; enforcing related protocols; and modeling best practices,” said Rachel Gutter, president of IWBI.
"That’s why IWBI developed the COVID-19 Teacher Training and why we’re making it widely available, free of charge, to teachers and schools across the globe."
This self-guided training was designed with the needs of teachers and their students in mind.
Based on science-backed health and safety recommendations produced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this training contains actionable strategies to help teachers navigate changes to the learning environment, so that they can focus on what they do best - teach!
Through this training, you will learn about:
While the training is self-paced, plan for about an hour to complete the entire course. Knowledge Checks throughout provide opportunities to test what you’ve learned, and upon completion, you will earn a certificate that details the learning outcomes achieved.
