Beyond Packets
June 8 - July 16 Online Workshop for CREDIT
Here’s the deal, we know CONTINUOUS LEARNING / REMOTE TEACHING began for K-12 teachers in March 2020 and has mostly been by the seat of our pants or triage teaching. RIGHT?
Maximizing Your Teaching and Student Learning Beyond Packets
The Art of Online Teaching and Remote Learning workshop is a 6-week course designed to prepare teachers, pre-service teachers, technology coaches, administrators, and other education personnel to manage the technology, logistics, pedagogy, and underlying issues at the heart of the new normal of teaching in response to COVID19. The summer workshop will include three three-hour courses and will be treated as one 9-hour block.
With your pre-approved scholarship, your total cost will be substantially reduced. We hope to help you get beyond survival.
The problem P-12 is struggling to address is how to move from emergency correspondence delivery of instruction to true distance delivery that is engaging, equitable and accessible to all students.
So we are changing up the classes just a bit for this summer into a 9-credit hour bundle to get you up and rolling faster.
We hope you will join us this summer for this unique opportunity. https://shrtm.nu/aWbZ
What can we do now, that we simply couldn’t do before?
When I think of online teaching I think of connecting with your vision of education, using a growth mindset to engage in a simple question … What can we do now, that we simply couldn’t do before?
The question arises, what about my students that don’t have internet access or a device or there are language barriers? Good questions, we will also discuss methods of how to take your digital materials and get them to your students in those situations. There must be equity. It will be challenging, but it is possible. So strap on your creative hats.
Even if we are back to school as usual in the fall, everything we do this summer will be beneficial and workable in any classroom. Teachers are always looking for strategies to engage their students and enhance their learning. You will be introduced too many ideas, strategies and tools that will do just that.
It is imperative that you complete the short application to receive the scholarship and reduced price for the 9-hour class. In a nutshell, this means you will take 9 graduate hours for a reduced price.
Quite a good deal and will only be available this summer. If interested in more information, please go to the The Art of Online Teaching and Remote Learning page and find out the details including the FAQ to get all your questions answered.
