Participants can expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours per week engaged in this seven week seminar. While this is an online training, it is not self-paced. There are things to do, learn, reflect on, and submit nearly every day. There are specific deadlines for each assignment, discussion forum, etc. Participants unable to meet the required deadlines, regardless of other commitments, will be dropped from this training.
Please note: Instructors considering applying for this training who have multiple commitments and responsibilities are strongly encouraged to reconsider participating when their schedule is more conducive to meeting the requirements of this time-intensive seminar.
Faculty members will receive a $550 stipend based on participation and successful completion of requirements.
