You will receive a point for each class you attend for a maximum total of 19 points. You may pick up your final point totals for this module on or after Monday, June 12. Unclaimed grade sheets will be thrown away at the end of that week.

Each student must submit a Unit of Practice by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in the grade of F for this course.

Students who successfully complete this module will be certified at the novice level (and perhaps the practitioner level) by the state under the SchoolNet Professional Development Rubric.
