Important Information

Here, you’ll find important information about the IC Institute.

Open each of the following drop-down menus to read more about each topic!

  • Each day, we’ll use the same Zoom link. You can click on the button at the top of the page, or the one below.

    ***Be sure you SIGN IN TO ZOOM BEFORE JOINING! Since we will be working in Table Groups (intentional small groupings) throughout the day utilizing Zoom’s breakout room feature, having you sign into Zoom ahead of time makes this process more seamless technologically.

    If the link to the right doesn’t work, here are the meeting ID and passcode:

    • Meeting ID: INSERT HERE

    • Passcode: INSERT HERE

  • As a reminder, the Institute is a total of 30 hours of Professional Development on the IC Pedagogy and made up of 24 hours of synchronous meetings and 6 hours of asynchronous activities. In order to receive a Certificate of Completion and be considered trained in the IC Pedagogy, participants must complete 22.5 hours or 75% of the Institute.

    We will do the following to track and measure participant Attendance and Participation during the Institute:

    • Take attendance in the mornings and afternoons during the synchronous meetings

    • Check for participation in the asynchronous activities

  • Virtual Meetings (Zoom):

    All of the Institute will be held virtually on Zoom.

    We will be meeting from 9am-5pm. There are morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks built-in to the natural flow of instruction. Times for breaks may vary day to day.
