💫Objective

Get ready to “level up” your LMS learning with the VVA Statewide LMS Success Program! Our objective is to provide a differentiated, tiered learning structure that supports and amplifies statewide LMS learning through role-specific pathways, at no cost, to all Virginia public schools.

💫What is it?

Learning pathways are organized according to specific LMS user roles, with each branch divided into three levels (Level 1, Level 2, & Level 3). The learning pathways are curated with a combination of offerings from Virtual Virginia and Instructure’s Canvas services including the Training Services Portal and consultant workshops. To complete a level, you will need to submit evidence for completing the offerings available in that level pathway. A digital badge is awarded with the successful completion of each level.

💫How to Sign Up

This learning pathway focuses on the School & Division Leader experience. The associated LMS user role includes the following individuals, but is not limited to: Division Level Admin & Building Level Admin. In order to begin, you must join the Admin User Group PLN. After you join this course, you may then access the learning modules for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Let’s level up our LMS success together!

Please review the School & Division Leader guide for further details.
