Knowledge Base

Our goal is to ensure that everyone using our software — whether it is HIBster, HIBsterVention, aSAP, PD3, C3 or R3 — feels comfortable and confident with their modules so that they may do their best work.

We know that it can be challenging to start any new program so we've put together a plan and support system to get you and your team up to speed as quickly as possible.

To schedule a training, please respond to the welcome email with a date and time that would work for you and your team. If there are a couple of dates that'll work, that is always helpful.

Once the date and time have been confirmed with our presenter, an official confirmation email  and a calendar invite will be sent to our primary contact person.

With its initial subscription, the school district receives an in-depth training for everyone that will be using the program.

Each program — HIBster, HIBsterVention, aSAP, PD3, C3 or R3 — will receive its own, separate training. We do not recommend combining trainings for multiple programs. 

Our standard training will cover everything needed to start using the program. If, however, there is anything you would really like us to focus on during the training, make sure to let us know beforehand.

The training is completely free. 

Please reserve two hours for the training.

The presentation takes maybe 90 minutes, oftentimes less. The remaining time is reserved for any follow-up questions, if necessary. 

All trainings are held online.

We'll set up a live webinar where everyone in the training can interact with the presenter in real time. Team members are able attend from their own classroom, office or home.

In the future, on-site trainings may again become available. We will announce when those types of trainings are again available.

HIBster This training is for anyone who will be using HIBster on a regular basis — the Anti-Bullying Coordinator and all Anti-Bullying Specialists, in particular, should attend. Principals and the superintendent have small but crucial roles in the HIB investigative process and would benefit from attending as well.

HIBsterVention This training is for anyone who will be using HIBsterVention on a regular basis, in particular those on the I&RS Team and the Child Study Team.

In order to ensure proper usage and to aid in the complete understanding of HIBstervention, we recommend a tiered training approach, in the following order:

Training No. 1 — Directors of Counseling, Special Education, Pupil Personnel and other key administrators

Training No. 2 — Directors of individual school’s I&RS teams/school administrators

Training No. 3 — I&RS teams

Training No. 4 — Teachers

Depending on the size of your district and the number of people attending a given training, it may make sense to combine the first three trainings — especially if there is a large overlap in personnel. For larger districts, it probably makes the most sense to have three separate trainings. The fourth training, for the teachers, will always be held separately.

aSAP This training is for anyone who will be using aSAP on a regular basis. We'll train the entire district at this time, since the program is the same to use regardless of grade level.

Onspire — PD3, C3, R3 This training is for anyone will be overseeing any of the three Onspire modules (PD3, C3 or R3).

We will train only those who will be assigning or moderating courses; there is not a training for those taking the courses since that aspect is very straight forward.

The training for each module is very quick — around 15-20 minutes. 

Participation is optional, of course, but we’ve found that districts with a high turn-out rate for the training are able to integrate the program more smoothly into their day-to-day workflow.

We strongly encourage those who will be using the program to attend the training session.

For those unable to attend, we can record the webinar. Please request that the training be recorded; we will then email to the primary contact a temporary link to download the recording and distribute it to those who could not be present for the live version.

No. During the training webinar, our presenter will use a demo account while demonstrating the program. Your district account will not be used at all.

Please schedule the training as soon as possible. Our Support will work with you to have your account set up as quickly we can.
