Modules

Each online module within the course will focus on a new item type. Modules will be released gradually. Once a module is available, you can reference it at any time.

There are six modules, and each module is a prerequisite for the upcoming module. Modules will be released each month. Each course should take approximately six hours to complete, with each module taking one hour. It is a self-paced online course, which means that you can complete the learning activities at your own pace and time. Once you successfully complete this course, you will earn 6 CPE credit hours from ESC Region 13.

At the end of each module is an optional discussion to submit questions, comments, and/or concerns. You will also be provided with specific contact information to address your STAAR Redesign needs. ESC Region 13 is here for you!
