ONLINE TRAINING

  • How does online training work?

    Project ALERT Training Online is web-based, so educators can participate from the convenience of home, school or anywhere they have access to a computer and an internet connection. Online training offers a distributive learning environment; two courses (the 11-segement core lessons and 3-segement booster lessons); a choice to complete both courses or complete one at a time; and an opportunity to review and refresh skills on any aspect of the training at any time.

  • What are the minimum system requirements for viewing or using Project ALERT Training Online?

    Project ALERT is optimized for modern browsers. The following free browsers are supported:


    Chrome    , Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 9.


    JavaScript must be enabled.

  • Can educators start and re-start portions of the training?

    Yes. The program is self-paced with 11 Core lessons and 3 Booster lessons that present teachers with a simulation in which they teach a virtual class. A tutorial and trial session will introduce them to the training interface. Once teachers have accessed a particular lesson, they may return to it at any time.

    As teachers progress through the training program, they receive frequent and tailored behavioral feedback (coaching), and learn how to implement a variety of teaching techniques, such as brainstorming and role-playing.

  • Are there downloadable support materials?

    Yes.
    Curriculum materials are available from the My Project ALERT Dashboard for download and sharing with colleagues.  Additionally, at the end of each online lesson, teachers may download lesson plans, fact sheets and other classroom materials. The online resources provides links to a variety of resources, including Project ALERT newsletters, information about confidentiality and drug policy, as well as links to relevant web sites.

  • How is learning progress measured?

    A Scores icon displays evaluations of the teacher’s behavior, based on nine teaching strategies that are critical to successful program delivery. These strategies, drawn from research on effective learning and behavior change, include fidelity, validation, proximal goals, respect enthusiasm modeling, reinforcement, resistance self-efficacy, and active student involvement.
