MN Teacher Verification Model Update: Now Two Pathways to TVM Certification!
The Teacher Verification Model (TVM) was launched almost two years ago as a new option for Minnesota ABE teachers and programs to count proxy hours for asynchronous lessons that have been verified by a TVM certified teacher. Over 220 MN adult educators have now completed TVM certification!
What ‘counts’ as a TVM lesson?
There are many possibilities! TVM Certified teachers develop asynchronous lessons to fit their learners and teaching context. TVM lessons must include instruction, practice, and assessment, but they can be digital or physical, or a combination of both.
The TVM Process
When you’re a TVM Certified teacher, you can develop TVM lessons and materials and assign them to your learners. You’ll submit details about each of your TVM lessons to the DL Team through the (short and easy!) TVM Lesson Checklist and Submission Form. You’ll verify your learners’ completion of the lessons and provide feedback. Then you’ll document lesson completion using a new TVM Lesson Log available on every class Summary page in SID and record learners’ proxy hours for the lessons in SID.
TVM Certification Options
As of February 2023, after you’ve completed the required modules and work in the Distance and Blended Learning Basics for Minnesota Adult Education online course, there are now two options for TVM Certification:
1) Attend a live certification webinar, or
2) Attend an individual coaching call with a TVM Team member.
See the table below for more details that will help you decide which path to TVM certification is the best fit for you.
