CATCH Online Training Campus

The CATCH Online Training Campus offers schools and after-school programs the opportunity to greatly expand their professional development options for CATCH and CATCH Kids Club.

Perfect to enhance CATCH in-person trainings, to revisit CATCH implementation strategies, or to just get new staff up to speed, the CATCH Online Training Campus provides step by step review of CATCH implementation strategies through trainer-guided presentations and hours of video demonstrations. Certified CATCH Trainers take you through both award winning programs implemented in thousands of schools and after-school organizations across North America.

Training is easy!

The CATCH Online Training Campus makes training easy! Course subscriptions allow individuals or groups to have password protected access to CATCH program support for a full year, 24/7. New employees can be trained individually, at their own pace, while senior organizational staff can access new, refreshed content, added year round.

What is CATCH On-line Training?

The CATCH Online Training Campus includes “how-to” videos and presentations on: use of the CATCH curriculum, physical activity, nutrition lesson demonstrations, health  status of children, Eat Smart cafeteria tours and promotion, classroom presentations, evaluating your program, adapting your program for special needs children, and much more. The custom “administrative access” feature even allows senior staff to create and view module quizzes, gauge staff usage, and upload and share organizational documents.
