How Our Courses Work
Whether you are an administrator looking for the latest on how to run your school or district, or you're a teacher looking for professional development, our curriculum will maximize your learnings and takeaways in a way that is as convenient as possible.
No matter what type of learner you are, our multimedia approach not only puts you deep into the subject matter, it helps you retain and apply what you learn. Here's what you can expect:
- Lectures: Our dynamic, interactive lectures – given by subject matter experts from across the country – are yours to download. You can keep them on your computer or download them to an MP3 player and listen when it's most convenient for you. Some also have a downloadable PowerPoint component, giving you all-important visuals to complement your learnings.
- Readings: Also downloadable, our virtual text materials include articles in our online learning platform, clarifications and examples of important terms and concepts, links to relevant and related articles, across the Internet and more.
- Assessments and Projects: Depending on whether you are looking for a Certificate of Completion or credit toward your professional recertification, you may need to complete:
- A 20-30 question assessment test
- A 250- to 300-word reflection on our topic
- A Curriculum Project showing how you can incorporate your learnings into a lesson plan
- An Implementation Analysis showing how your learnings could be applied at your school or district
Requirements differ for teachers and administrators.
