This site contains all of the information you need to succeed as an online teacher at CalPac. Take your time reviewing all of the information and completing the tasks along the way. Make sure to refer back to this site during the year as questions come up. Please contact your department chair with any questions.

This training will take about 6 hours to complete. We recommend pacing yourself and taking breaks as needed.

Tips on Navigating Training:

Make sure you have all of your usernames and passwords handy. You will need them as you go through the training. Please contact Erin Rineberg if you are missing any login credentials.

If you are unfamiliar with Google sites and pages, here are a few tips for navigating this training.

• • All documents and slides you see can be expanded in a new window by clicking on the doc/image and then clicking on the little box in the upper corner. This will open the doc/slides in a new window.

  • At the bottom of each page you will see "continue training". This will take you to the next page of training. Pay attention to elementary vs. middle school navigation buttons.

  • You can also easily navigate from page to page by selecting the item you are looking for from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen. We recommend doing the training in order, but if you need to come back and reference something again you can easily find it from the menu.
