Online Course for Educators
Engaging Students in a Distance
Education Environment
Amid all the recent changes how do educators facilitate virtual (or blended) instruction? As everyone scrambles to move to digital instruction, how does an educator’s mindset need to change? How does the educator’s role in an online class differ and how does it stay the same in a digital environment?
Throughout this 2-week online course, a team of experienced, online educators will help answer these questions and more while assisting you in incorporating great thinking in all grades and for all ability levels.
This course runs from Monday, July 27 through Friday August 7, 2020. There will be two - 1 hour live, virtual meetings per week. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion for 20 hours (2 CEUs).
