TALENT LMS DIRECTIONS FOR CTLE QUIZZES

The photograph shows a lady holding a paper.

The TALE Academy and VITAL Educator Program utilizes the TALENT Learning Managment System for CTLE Certification. At the conclusion of every module's session, you will be asked to click a button that takes you to TALENT LMS to complete a brief 5 item quiz to check for your understanding. Below outlines directions for how to register in TALENT LMS and how to complete your CTLE quizes. TALENT is only used for the CTLE portion of the program, no module or session activity or resources are housed in TALENT - only the quiz.
