It’s best to set up your accounts and start your Virtual Teacher Academy courses early. Here are some instructions to get you started in the VTA right away!
Want to leave Day 1 of VTA super early? … Take the S.E.E.T.
- Complete the Day 1 Account Setup assignment and submit it by 8:00 AM on the day of the training. Doing so will earn you a Super Early Exit Ticket.
- If you have completed all VTA training courses and performance tasks before Monday’s meeting, your attendance will not be required.
