DIGITAL RESOURCE LIBRARYOUR DIGITAL CONTENT LIBRARY MORPHED INTO A DIGITAL RESOURCE LIBRARY WHERE ANY EDUCATOR COULD HAVE ACCESS TO TRAINING RESOURCES FOR THE YEAR. WE UPDATED THIS SERVICE BASED ON NEED AND DEMAND FOR CONTINUED ACCESS TO TRAINING MATERIALS FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF ONLINE TRAINING COURSES AND ONSITE FACE-TO-FACE TRAININGS. THIS IS A BEST PRACTICE TO ENSURE EDUCATORS ARE ABLE TO ACCESS TRAINING 24/7 AND NOT JUST WHILE ENGAGED IN A COURSE OR PARTICIPATING IN FACE-TO-FACE TRAINING. THIS WAS A POPULAR SERVICE WITH EDUCATORS AND WILL CONTINUE THE PROGRAM BEYOND THIS YEAR.
