Welcome to Esprit 360 BUILD! This program is presented in an online course format, with each step guiding you through the essentials of building your teaching practice. Along the way, you’ll be supported by a curated set of materials designed to help you apply what you learn. You’ll have access to a OneDrive folder that contains your journal, tools, frameworks, and resources. These materials will be used throughout the journey to deepen your learning, capture your reflections, and give you ready-to-use templates and resources for your practice. Before beginning the course, download and save these files into a dedicated folder on your local drive so you’re ready to go.
