This is an intensive training course that is held several times a year for educators interested in facilitating future Comprehensive Literacy courses through e-Literacy. In this four day course participants are trained by Deonna Montei and Lynn Mangold on how to teach the Comprehensive Literacy modules to classroom teachers. Participants are also trained on how to run a course and discussion board on Blackboard.com and given all the materials necessary to lead their own Comprehensive Literacy course.
