Training

Xperts offers a variety of training vehicles to ensure that school districts are getting the maximum benefit of our products. After all, what good is a product that nobody uses? Utilizing a "Train the Trainer" model, we train your lead individuals and administrators on how to use our software product suite so that they can in turn train your product users. In addition to face to face "classroom" style training, we offer a variety of refresher courses and alternative, low cost training sessions.

Training is divided into the following categories:

• Teacher training - Teachers receive initial training in the navigation and use of our products. This training also includes the use of support tools available online, including online help, and online user manuals. Teacher training is structured to train a class of up to 20 product users to be proficient in the use of the product suite. It is the goal of teacher training for each teacher to acquire the skills to successfully enter and produce special education records in iep.online® with the aid of the online user manual and online help.
• Administrative training - The goal of training for the admin.online® module is to educate the District administrative staff on the setup and support of this module. Through the training session, district administrative staff is instructed on the use of the admin module capabilities which include configuration of user accounts, access rights, reporting, and district specific settings.
• Champion's training - Champion's training is an extension of our "Teach the Teacher" philosophy, in which on-site personnel from your district become technical advisors to the product suite, and can train other users in your district on the use of the program. Champions will be selected by your administration and receive special training designed to help them teach the use of the product modules.

Additional training options include:

Training may be conducted in a variety of styles, jointly agreed upon by Xperts, Inc and your district. Training options may include, but are not limited to, online training, video conferencing or presentation/lecture style.

• Refresher training - After the initial deployment training of iep.online, districts may request refresher training to further develop the teacher as a mature user of the product suite. The prerequisite for refresher training is the use of our products to produce special education documents for at least 3-6 months.
• Working lab training - The goal of the working lab training session is to create a collaborative atmosphere where teachers can learn together in a computer lab to create drafts of various special education documents.
• Focus Group training - Focus group training provides the district with the option of specialized training targeted to a specific work group within the district. Some examples of focus group training include:
1. Teacher training for the variety of uses for applying annual goals and objectives
2. Psychologist training on the use of evaluation templates
3. General education staff training (guidance counselors) in the use of the referral module
4. Support services staff training on the use of the 504 module
