Ask Every Student Training Template

This training template can be used to train individuals to have conversations with students about voter registration and democratic engagement.

They can be embedded onto platforms like Blackboard and Canvas or be used simply as a presentation. For that purpose, the training is broken down into four parts that can be viewed as one cohesive presentation or in more digestible chunks.

For example, this is how to embed it onto a Canvas page. The same process will work with any platform that uses an HTML editor. 

We encourage you to adapt this resource to your campus context and make any changes needed, including through the design and language. However, please make sure to include this citation somewhere on your adapted resource:
