I would make it as specific as possible for your school/district. For example, if you are going to send attendance by GQ, make sure you go over this. If your district has rosters available to download on the first day of school, go over this, otherwise have them bring class rosters so they can enter them in. Even if you download rosters later, I find it very helpful to have gradequick started from the very beginning so I can make up seating charts, blank gradebook spreadsheets and such. I would also suggest breaking the training up into chunks. If the training is no longer than 90 minutes for the first session then additional sessions of about 45 minutes, your teachers will retain more information. One thing I have done is to go over the basics of making rosters, printing and so forth on the first session, The second session is for when it is time to download rosters and we start working with grades and attendance and how to print class and student gradebooks. The third session is for more advanced topics such as when it is time to print progress reports and the procedure for sending grades. We go over things like priorities, comments, memos and such at this last session. For your more advanced students, you can go over some things like gradebook to gradebook copy, copying student rosters and grades and so forth. Some might benefit from being able to combine gradebooks then split them back apart when it is time to print progress reports and send grades. This can be helpful for teachers who are coteaching and for pe classes.
