Project ACCESS is migrating our online course content to a new learning management system. Therefore registration will close on May 20th to give us time to give feedback to currently enrolled participants. The migration is expected to take about a month to complete. Consequently, these workshops will be unavailable during the month of June. Courses you sign up for before May 20th will need to be completed by May 31st. You are welcome to return to this page and sign up anew on our brand new system after July 1st.
If you are an administrator looking for para-educator training, we are allowing you to batch enroll your paras into the workshops designed for paras, even though these will not be available to anyone to enroll in until the refreshed workshop is available. To batch enroll paras, please reach out to Project ACCESS at 417-836-6657 or projectaccess@missouristate.edu to work out special arrangements to get your paras enrolled in the legacy versions.
