Virtual Training — HIP Studios

Full Sentinel Series content. Delivered live, wherever your staff are.

HIP Studios delivers the complete Sentinel Series curriculum through a professional live-broadcast setup designed for school district audiences. Multi-campus districts, ESC regional deployments, and rapid-response delivery — without sacrificing the practitioner voice that makes the content effective.

Best Fit

Virtual delivery is the right format for specific situations.

Multi-Campus Districts

Districts with more than 15 campuses often cannot bring Michael on-site to every building within a single year. Virtual delivery makes system-wide rollout possible within one budget cycle.

ESC Regional Deployments

ESC convenings where multiple districts participate simultaneously. One live session reaching staff across an entire region.

Rapid-Response Delivery

When a district identifies an urgent training need — following an incident, a TEA audit, or a board directive — virtual delivery can be scheduled in two to four weeks rather than the typical 60-day on-site lead time.

Substitute Staff Training

Substitute teachers are rarely available for on-site training days. A recorded HIP Studios session gives district coordinators a reliable, repeatable format they can use throughout the year.

Hybrid Engagements

On-site delivery for campus leadership, virtual delivery for frontline staff. Maximum reach for districts that want the practitioner presence at the leadership level while scaling broadly.

Geographic Constraints

Districts in rural areas where travel costs for on-site delivery represent a significant portion of the engagement cost. Virtual delivery makes the same content accessible at a lower total cost.

Format Options

Three virtual formats. Choose the one that matches your timeline and audience.

HIP Studios

Professional broadcast setup. Not a home office on a laptop.

Virtual delivery that works requires more than a decent internet connection. HIP Studios is a dedicated broadcast setup — professional lighting, broadcast-quality audio, multi-camera capability, and a production workflow designed to keep a school-district audience engaged through four to seven hours of content.

District IT teams receive a technical brief prior to delivery with connectivity requirements and access instructions for staff. Breakout rooms, polling, and chat moderation are managed by the HIP Studios production workflow, not by your staff.

Session recordings are available for districts that want to use the content for onboarding, substitute training, or new-staff orientation throughout the year.

Production Capabilities
  • Broadcast-quality audio and lighting
  • Multi-camera setup with director switching
  • Breakout room management and facilitation
  • Live polling and scenario injection
  • Real-time chat moderation
  • Session recording with chapter markers
  • Captioning available on request
  • Simultaneous interpretation available
