OnDemand Academy LOGO

The Arizona Department of Education’s English Language Art’s Team has created the Arizona Reading Fundamentals OnDemand Academy. This academy offers schools a variety of free knowledge blocks on demand. Each knowledge block includes several different sessions. Each session includes three recorded presentations and pre- and post- activities. 

Schools are encouraged to utilize these resources as a part of a comprehensive professional learning plan that is data-driven, sustained, intensive, collaborative, job-embedded and instructionally focused. 

Before you register, watch this INTRODUCTION VIDEO.

As a staff, personalize your own professional learning, block by block. Each participant will need to register for each session separately. Once registered, a link to our Blackboard LMS will be available in your Event Management System registered courses.

KNOWLEDGE BLOCKS

Registration for Spring 2022 Quarter (course dates April 1 - June 30) is now available.

Before you register, watch this INTRODUCTION VIDEO. Knowledge blocks are available for registration and participation each quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December). If you are unable to complete your selected knowledge block with at least an 85%, you will need to wait until the next quarter to re-register. Plan accordingly.

    **IMPORTANT NOTE: As part of A.R.S. § 15-211, every school must have at least one teacher who has training related to dyslexia. To fulfill this requirement teachers must complete an approved course which fulfills 3 criteria. One of the required sections is "Understanding and Recognizing Dyslexia". The ELA team at Arizona Department of Education has created a free course to give a more cost-efficient option and is available as part of the Arizona Reading Fundamentals OnDemand Academy.
