Designed exclusively for teachers who completed a full-day Color Vowel® Basics face-to-face workshop between 2015-2019 or who otherwise have not been trained with the full Technique Practicum or Blue Canoe Training, this online course guides you through a series of refresher videos and short expansion tasks that you complete at your own pace over the course of one month.

The course starts with a live kick-off meeting on the first Monday of the month (9-10 am ET) and concludes with a live wrap-up session six weeks later (usually on the Friday at the end of the sixth week; your specific wrap-up date will be confirmed at the kick-off meeting). Both meetings take place in Zoom and are recorded/posted for those who are unable to attend.

Assignments are delivered via Google Classroom and lead you through your video course and Technique Practicum assignments, which provide you the opportunity to demonstrate your comfort with and mastery of key Color Vowel instructional techniques and the the effective use of our Blue Canoe app, all through the use of engaging online tools for teaching and learning.

A Color Vowel® Coach provides personalized feedback and guidance as you complete the final touches on your Level 1 certificate. Upon completion, you will receive your Level 1 certificate as a Color Vowel Trained Teacher, gain access to Color Vowel Digital Library, and access an enticing variety of Level 2 workshops.
