Online Training Platform - Access and Navigation
Risk management utilizes the The TEAM Platform online training LMS, used by over 200 school districts in California, and was developed from the In2Vate LMS used by over 500 California school districts and other public agencies.
If you receive a notification from The TEAM Platform of a new training assignment, you are required to complete that module. A link to the training platform will also be included in the The TEAM Platform message.
- The TEAM Platform logo above links to the site.
- Your Username is your full SFUSD email address.
- The initial Password is Welcome1.
Once logged in you will see your assigned training modules in the blue TRAINING box. Click on the training title and the training will begin.
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.
Documentation of your training completion does not need to be submitted - TEAM will automatically record your completion.
Certificates of completion are available for your records. From your TEAM homepage, click on the Training drop-down menu and you will see Training Report. Next click on Print in the Certificate column. A new browser window will open, and using your browser’s printing function you can then print (or save as a pdf). This is optional and at your discretion.

More Training Modules Available
The TEAM Platform includes hundreds of additional training modules covering a wide variety of topics. You can review the list of training modules for a training that interests you, and then self-assign it.
- Log into the The TEAM Platform.
- 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.
- Then click on the title of the training you would like to assign.
- 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.
Training Outside the The TEAM Platform
Recognizing the signs of both neglect and abuse in online meetings during a pandemic
This micro-learning video teaches staff how to identify the signs of abuse that may require reporting in a virtual learning setting. Our obligations as mandated reporters have not changed and this video can help staff identify red flags in the background of a child’s home when they have logged in for distance learning.
Troubleshooting and FAQ's
Help! I accidentally deleted the email notifying me that training was assigned. How do I access my training?
No worries. The training platform (site) can be found at this address: https://app.theteamplatform.com/sfusd/
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?
After logging into The TEAM Platform, in the blue TRAINING box that you will see on the screen, you will see the training titles that have been assigned to you but have not yet been completed. To complete the training, simply click on the title of the training.
To see the training modules that you have completed, after logging into the The TEAM Platform, in the blue TRAINING box that you will see on the screen, underneath TRAINING you will see three links, the last one being Training Report. Click on the link, and you will see all training modules that have been assigned to you including those you have 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?

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?
After logging into The TEAM Platform, in the blue TRAINING box that you will see on the screen, underneath TRAINING you will see three links, the last one being Training Report. Click on the link, and in the right-hand column of the table of training modules assigned to you is Certificate. A Print icon will be available for those training modules that you have completed.
Please do not send a Certificate to Risk Management. We have access to the electronic records.
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.
Please send an email describing your issue/problem to your Training Administrator, Lisa, at Xuan-GutierrezL@sfusd.edu, and she will respond to you at her earliest convenience. Due to high email volume, please allow 48 hours before emailing again.
