Online Training Assignments 

ASCIP Alliance of Schools for Cooperative Insurance Programs

Risk utilizes the platform provided by one of our insurance carrier's ASCIP or the Alliance of Schools for Cooperative Insurance Programs.

Within TWO weeks of your start date, you will receive an electronic notification from "ASCIP E-Learning" at ehelp@ascip.org directing you to www.ascip-elearn.org to complete your required trainings. 

Please note: Every TWO weeks, mid-month and month's end, an Empower Active-Employee report will be generated to capture new-hires. There is NO longer a need to email Risk Management when you're new to the District/when your site hires new staff. 

  • Your Username is your full SFUSD email address.
  • The initial Password is Welcome1.

 

 

Complete your training assignments during your scheduled, contracted hours and not outside of the workday. Please coordinate with your supervisor, as needed, to ensure that district resources are available in order to complete the training. Training modules can be paused so that you can pick back up from where you left off, on another day. 

Documentation of your training completion does not need to be submitted - ASCIP will automatically record your completion.

If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the ASCIP Help Desk at ehelp@ascip.org or (562) 404-8029.

***Substitute Teachers, Substitute Para's and Substitute Administrators are REQUIRED to complete mandatory trainings 1) on their own time OR, 2) during work hours which are outside of regularly scheduled classroom time. Additional hours will not be granted to complete trainings. IF your REQUIREMENTS are not met, you will be contacted.***

More Available Training Modules

The ASCIP e-learning Platform includes additional training modules covering a wide variety of topics. You can review the Course Catalog for a training that interests you, and then self-assign it.

  1. Log into 
  2. Using the Search box found at the top of the screen, type in the first word or two of the training module you're interested in.
  3. Then click on the title of the training you would like to assign.
  4. Next a box will pop up that will include an Assign This Module to Yourself button.

You will not be required to complete any training modules that were self-assigned.

Do not self-assign the required mandated reporter or sexual harassment and discrimination training modules - there are different but similarly titled training modules - so please contact Risk Management to assign the correct training to you.

 

Troubleshooting and FAQ's

Help! I accidentally deleted the email notifying me that training was assigned. How do I access my training?

 

Help! I forgot my username and password.

Again, no worries. Your Username is your full SFUSD email address, and the initial Password is Welcome1. If you changed your password and forgot it, click on Forgot password? in the login credentials box.

Help! I am in the training, but I can’t get past the Introduction page.

This is typically an issue for Chromebook users. The screen is zoomed in too close.

To zoom out, press and hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard, and then the – (minus) key until you can see Back and Next arrows at the bottom of your screen.

Following the training, if you want to zoom back in, press Ctrl and the + (plus) sign.

How do I know which training modules have been assigned to me, and which ones I’ve completed?

 

How long can I expect the training to take?

California AB1432 Mandated Reporter Training (SFUSD): approximately 45 minutes.

Sexual Harassment and Discrimination - California Supervisor (AB1825/1661): 2 hours.

Sexual Harassment and Discrimination - California Employees (SB1343): 1 hour.

When is the training due date?

All non-Administrator Staff

California AB1432 Mandated Reporter Training (SFUSD), assigned to staff at the beginning of the school year

Administrators

California AB1432 Mandated Reporter Training (SFUSD) and Sexual Harassment and Discrimination - California Supervisor (AB1825/1661) assigned as part of the Administrators Institute’s Independent Learning Module (ILM)

New Hires

The mandated reporter and sexual harassment and discrimination training modules (Sexual Harassment and Discrimination - California Employees (SB1343) for non-supervisory staff) are generally due two weeks after they are assigned.

You can see your specific due dates by logging into the training platform, and in the blue TRAINING box you will see the training titles assigned to you. Underneath the title is the due date.

Is the training available in different languages?

Spanish language versions of some of the training modules are available.

I have already completed this training, why do I need to take it again?

Risk Management assigns training that is required by law to be taken in regular intervals: mandated reporters of suspected child abuse training each year, sexual harassment and discrimination training every other year (bi-annually).

Note: New hires can find themselves completing the Sexual Harassment and Discrimination training more frequently than is required by law if they began their employment in the off bi-annual training year. This is district practice.

I am not a teacher nor do I work in a classroom. Do I still need to take the mandated reporter training?

Yes, everyone that works at SFUSD is assigned the mandated reporter training and is required to complete it.

I think I took a mandated reporter training while working at another school district. Do I need to take it again at SFUSD?

Yes. The mandated reporter training provided by SFUSD is specific to the district, and once you complete the training the district will have an electronic record of your completion.

How do I get paid for taking this training?

For regular district staff, the training is to be completed within your normally scheduled work hours. Substitute staff should contact the Substitute Office for details.

How can I print a certificate to prove that I completed the training?

 

Do I need to send you anything to prove that I have completed my training?

No. However, if your supervisor would like to see it, you can email them the Certificate found in the above FAQ.

I have another issue or technical problem that’s not addressed here and need help.
