Q: What are BASC self-paced modules?
A: BASC self-paced modules are free online learning opportunities designed to help educators and school teams build practical skills to support positive student behavior and reduce exclusionary discipline. Each module focuses on an evidence-based practice and includes short videos, examples from real classrooms, and practical tools that can be used immediately.
Q: What platform are the self-paced modules hosted on?
A: BASC self-paced modules are hosted on Canvas, an online learning platform used by many schools and universities. When you enroll in a module, you will access the content through Canvas and complete the learning activities directly within the platform.
