NOTICE: Project ACCESS is currently in the process of refreshing the content of just under 50 workshops in our current catalog. Some of these online workshops are temporarily unavailable during the refresh, but all will become available during this academic year. In the dropdowns below we have listed in the right-most column the anticipated rollout date for each workshop. We have organized our catalog into topical areas.
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.
