New Mentor Training Tab for Waterford UPSTART Participants
Affects: Waterford UPSTART
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we released an online training tab in Waterford Mentor for Waterford UPSTART participants. This tab will house information allowing participants to complete training virtually when in-person sessions are impossible.
These training sessions are available in English and Spanish. The language delivered to users is based on the language settings in their Waterford Mentor profile.
Resources & Activities Tab Live for All Waterford Mentor Users
Affects: Waterford Reading Academy, Waterford Early Learning, Waterford UPSTART
The Resources & Activities tab is now live for all Waterford Mentor users. Previously, this tab was only available for users with a child added to their account. Through this tab, users can access thousands of digital and printable learning songs, games, and activities to use at home.
School Sessions Now Launchable through Waterford Mentor
Affects: Waterford Reading Academy, Waterford Early Learning
To streamline distance learning, parents can now start Waterford Early Learning and Waterford Reading Academy sessions from Waterford Mentor by clicking the Start Session button. This feature was only available for Waterford UPSTART users until this update.
Parents who were previously launching sessions from my.waterford.org or their Waterford Early Learning bookmark can still do so. This new feature does not replace the first option; it simply offers an easier and more streamlined alternative.
