About the Academy

The Skyward Academy is a FREE online training hub offering live webinars designed to help you become a confident, savvy Skyward user.

Webinars are classified in two categories:

Just in Time Courses: These courses cover short, specific topics that are strategically timed throughout the year. Sessions might serve as a quick refresher, dive into a new release, or share a timely tip that will help you work smarter.

Full Training Courses: These full-length webinars dig into different modules within the software. They typically run each quarter and cover all aspects of the module in 2 to 3-hour segments. You can take full training courses in their entirety or, if there’s one part of the module you want to focus on, enroll for only specific segments.


Upcoming Courses

To give you an idea of the kindgs of topics you can expect to see covered in the Academy, here’s a look at the courses scheduled for December:
  • December 1: Illinois State Reporting General Q&A (Student)
  • December 1-7: Salary Negotiations courses
  • December 2-3: Attendance courses
  • December 7-8: Future Scheduling courses
