Virtual Trainings (Live)
GVSU hosts live training opportunities via Zoom throughout the year to support board members governing GVSU-authorized charter public schools.
Information regarding the live sessions scheduled for the 2026–27 school year will be available here soon.
New Board Member Training (Asynchronous)
To help new board members get started, GVSU has created a series of modules that briefly touch upon items that are important for every board member. After viewing the modules, you should have a basic understanding of:
- The history of charter schools
- Your board's relationship with GVSU
- Your responsibilities and how to be successful in your role
Additional Notes on the Training
- The training is self-paced, and should take approximately 30 minutes.
- The modules include short videos, knowledge checks, and links to additional resources
- If you need to step away from your computer for an extended time before completing the training, make sure to keep your web browser open. Do not close the web browser with the training before completing the training, as your progress cannot be saved.
- Once you complete your module, you will be prompted to send your certificate of completion to the GVSU DEISS.
- If you have any questions or issues, please email our main office at [email protected]
