Webinars

CORE offers a series of four webinars that provide training on almost every aspect of the Word Intelligence curriculum. For schools and districts with multiple teachers using Word Intelligence, we are often able to provide live webinars at a time when all your teachers can meet and practice together. For individual users, we recommend viewing an archived webinar. Contact CORE for more information or to set up a time for a live webinar.
