With school back in full swing, we’re here to equip you with the tools you need to support your students and make your job easier. This month, we’re excited to help you make the most of your Amplify CKLA curriculum with our new Up Your Amplify Game training collection. Spend just 5–10 minutes there each week to get a short overview of CKLA features, or dive a little deeper with one or two related help elements. You’ll find the collection featured on on the CKLA page of start.amplify.com, and we'll add something new each week to help you up your Amplify game.

Did you enjoy our recent training webinar series Back to Basics: Getting started with Amplify CKLA? These hour-long events were a hit with attendees. If you missed a session or want to share with a colleague, the replays are now available on start.amplify.com/bonus! Discover how to make the most of the program—plus download a checklist of activities covered in the session to help you implement Amplify CKLA in your classroom.

And no matter what your classroom situation looks like this fall, we’ll help you stay on track with the Remote and Hybrid Learning Support feature on the Amplify CKLA page of start.amplify. Designed with you in mind, this site will be continually updated to equip you with the tools you need to excel in an ever-changing education environment.
