Teachers have the option of when to provide the lessons to their students: weekly, monthly, or whatever fits your schedule! We encourage you to go through these lessons with your students as a class. Students can then earn a certificate individually by completing the assessment, if that is appropriate. You may also want to have the students take the quiz together and earn a class certificate.
We will wrap up this online event at the end of March with the announcement of the contest winners! Don't forget to share that information with your students and encourage them to submit entries!
