True Blue Helping Hands was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on education. Many parents and caregivers have taken on the role of teacher and “home educators.” As professional educators, it is our responsibility to bridge the knowledge gap and turn crisis teaching into best practice teaching through authentic, engaging experiences that help teachers and caregivers meet this new challenge head on.

True Blue Helping Hands consists of two lines of support. The first is an open access web portal containing content for teachers and caregivers teaching children at home. The second is a graduate level Digital Learning Certificate to support teachers in best practices for Digital Learning.

True Blue Helping Hands Open Access Portal for Teachers and Caregivers is just that, a helping hand with a variety of choices for you to select from to provide the help needed now. In the Open Access Portal, you can click and choose from the topics listed to get instant access to support. 

If you are interested in learning more about the Digital Learning Certificate through MTSU, please contact Dr. Dorothy Craig at dorothy.craig@mtsu.edu.
