It is recommended to complete Module 1 before proceeding to any of the other modules, as it provides a necessary foundation and rationale for the others. After Module 1, the educator can decide which module should follow given their unique needs.
Each module is broken down into small chunks of videos, PowerPoint slides, websites, activities, and other resources that can be found in the menu bar on the far-left side.
