Simple K12 Offers Free Online Training for Teachers During Coronavirus Shutdown

With schools across the country closing due to the COVID-19 (or coronavirus) outbreak, SimpleK12 is stepping up to help some schools and teachers facing uncertainty and extended time out of their classroom.

The online educational development company is making their webinars available for free to schools who haven't signed up for their services. That includes training for teachers facing the prospect of having to teach virtually over the web.

The webinars will be available for live or on-demand viewing.

SimpleK12 released this announcement after school districts began announcing mass closures to stop the spread of coronavirus.

SimpleK12 is helping organizations and academic institutions who are preparing for prolonged campus closures due to COVID-19. We are offering schools and districts free access to our premium eLearning professional development so that teachers and staff can remain productive during their time away from campus. 

In addition, SimpleK12 is putting together a brand new webinar series designed specifically for teachers covering topics that help educators prepare to teach virtually.  

The virtual training webinars will begin this week, and the free access will be available for 30 days.
