The State of Indiana has created a list of training that school employees must complete. Each training has different requirements with regard to who must complete it, the modality of the training itself, and how often it must be completed. For a complete list of state-required trainings, please visit the IDOE Legalistic Affairs page on the IDOE website.
The corporation has created the SH Training Tracker to record the completion of ONLY state-required training modules. Staff will find themselves associated with their primary work location (e.g. CES, HCELC, MAINTENANCE, etc.). The tracker notes the date that staff completes a training and must be manually updated periodically. Please note that the SH Training Tracker may not be completely up-to-date when you look at it. If you see a discrepancy, please contact Mark Carl.
While the corporation must provide training opportunities, it is up to the individual staff member to provide verification of training completion. Please consult the SH Training Tracker and identify the trainings that YOU must complete based on your position. If your name is missing or you see inaccurate/missing information, please contact Mark Carl.
Each of the links below will take you to a Google form. You must be logged into your SH Google account to access these forms. Within each form, you will be asked to provide some identifying information before you will be provided with a link to the training materials. The link will open a new tab in your browser. Most trainings involve the viewing of a presentation. Some have embedded videos. A few trainings will take you to an external site where you must view training materials.
After completing a training, you must return to the Google form to verify your attendance. A certificate of completion will automatically be emailed to you (except for the suicide module). Please save these certificates for your records. The SH Training Tracker will be manually updated in June to reflect your work. There is no need to send your certificate to your principal or to Mark Carl.
