Got a Minute?

Time is an educator's kryptonite! The Got a Minute? Learning Series recognizes this challenge and provides educators with the flexibility to choose their learning pathway based on the amount of time they have available.

The series is designed around chunks of time. Each module is divided into three chunks:

  • 10 minutes of learning - the what and the why

  • 20 minutes of learning - the how

  • 45 minutes of learning - the application

The overall goals of the Got a Minute? Learning Series are to:

  • Deepen understanding of inclusive literacy practices and strategies

  • Explore best practices to support all learners

  • Apply learning by designing or revising a product to support all learners

The series can be used by individual educators, a group of colleagues, or school teams as the same content is provided in both google slides and online course options.
