"The mission of Sanford Inspire is to empower educators with research-based knowledge, tools, and practices, so that they can inspire students to achieve academically and socially." The program partners with K-12 school districts to ensure that all classrooms have an inspirational teacher to guide students in the learning process. There are eighty-four (84) research-based training opportunities available through the Sanford Inspire program which are categorized within five domains of practice:
Welcoming Environment
Components of Inquiry, Differentiation, Elements of Delivery, English Language Learners
The curriculum is composed of on-demand modules which range in length between 30-60 minutes and can be completed asynchronously (anytime/anywhere) with computer and internet access. Upon completion of each course, teachers receive a certificate which can be applied to their state certification renewal requirements. All educators are welcome to access this amazing resource for ongoing professional development and can do so by clicking on the following URL: modules.sanfordinspire.org/ "Sandford Inspire is made possible due to the generous funding from the Denny Sanford Foundation. Mr. Sanford knows first hand the powerful and lasting impact of inspirational teachers. His investment supports the continued development of innovative resources that are improving outcomes for children" (Sanford Inspire Implementation Manual). The teachers at ASU Prep are grateful for these tremendous learning opportunities to increase their knowledge, pedagogical practice, and ability to inspire students.
