TGH Instructor & Learner Code of Ethics
At Tech Goes Home, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environment where all instructors and learners can thrive. Central to this commitment is the establishment of clear standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical behavior for our instructors. As instructors, you play a crucial role in shaping the minds and futures of our learners. Our interactions, decisions, and behaviors have a profound impact not only on their academic success but also on their overall well-being and development as individuals. Therefore, it is imperative that we uphold the highest standards of professionalism, respect, and ethical conduct in all aspects of our work.
Instructor Orientation
TGH has transitioned to an online and self-paced instructor orientation.
The online orientation consists of four main modules: an overview of TGH and its programs, a course management timeline from start to finish, instructor responsibilities, and next steps and resources. We estimate that completing the orientation will take approximately 60-90 minutes.
To receive the link for the online orientation, interested instructors must complete the following steps:
1) Submit a TGH Instructor Application.
2) Pass the Northstar Internet Basics Assessment with a score of 85% or higher.
3) Submit a CORI Acknowledgement Form and a pass the background check.
When an organization becomes a TGH partner, they will receive a TGH Partnership Approval & Next Step email, including relevant links and instructors.
