CITES Getting Started Modules

CITES offers a 4-module online learning series on getting started with implementing an Inclusive Technology Ecosystem for district teams or individuals to use for independent, self-paced, and self-directed learning. We encourage state agencies, districts,  and also teacher education programs, universities, workforce agencies, and other entities to adopt the modules for training personnel to get started in best practices for implementing Inclusive Technology EcoSystems.

The Modules

Four modules provide the background knowledge needed to get started in implementing an Inclusive Technology EcoSystem. Each Module has a section to activate, build and reflect on your knowledge. Depending on what activities are chosen to complete as a team or as an individual, each module is a one- to four-hour commitment.
