Videos of RIAA Teacher Trainings

Each Quicktime video clip is approximately 20 minutes in length and offered in two qualities depending on your internet connection ("High" will perform faster/smoother). 

All training clips will refer you to pages in the 2008-09 RIAA Administration Manual; therefore, you should have a copy nearby as you view the clips. You may download the document (see "Assessment Materials" above). Session 1 Clips 4-10 refer to student sample "Emma" which may be downloaded (see "Training Materials" above) prior to viewing. 

Training DVDs were shipped to all RIAA schools on or about November 5, 2009. If your school did not receive a copy of the training DVDs, please contact Jane Twombly, Program Assistant, at 1-800-431-8901.
