Training and certification on the Ignite Challenge
Certification and training (consisting of a one day in person Ignite Challenge course, independent review of training videos after the course, practice with several children, and finally completion of the Challenge criterion test) is required prior to use of the Ignite Challenge to ensure sufficient familiarity with the items and response options,and to optimize scoring accuracy.
Past Ignite Challenge Zoom courses include: Brazil (2021 and 2024), and Australia (2023) upcoming in 2025.
