The TVM Lesson Checklist and Submission Form states:

The Minnesota ABE Teacher Verification Model (TVM) is designed to be a pathway for instructors to count proxy hours for their lessons that are delivered asynchronously, are not part of an approved distance learning platform, are not part of an approved teacher-created course, and are not countable for synchronous contact hours.* In addition to the DL platform application, and the teacher-created course applications, this is a new, third option for distance learning hours approval in MN ABE.

*MN State Statute 124D.518 (Subd. 3): “Contact hours. (a) ‘Contact hours’ means the number of hours during which a student was engaged in learning activities provided by an approved adult education program.”

This form is designed for submitting a couple key details of your asynchronous, teacher-created lessons that meet adult learners' content and learning needs where other distance learning proxy/contact hour pathways do not work or apply (i.e. DL platform approval and teacher-created courses).

The TVM checklist also includes these requirements for TVM lessons:

This lesson incorporates MN adult education content standards: College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS), Northstar Digital Literacy Standards (NSDL), and/or ACES Transitions Integration Framework (TIF) skills.

This lesson addresses core ABE content. If it ONLY addresses non-core content, such as explicit digital literacy skills or citizenship, I agree to enroll the learner(s) for whom this lesson will be given in additional ABE courses that cover core content.

This lesson includes instruction, practice, and assessment components. Students should be able to complete the lesson without having participated in synchronous instruction.

TVM is meant to be used for asynchronous LESSONS, not merely practice activities! It doesn’t have to be new content from what was covered in class synchronously, just a new lesson.
