DESCRIPTION & OUTCOMES
Schools now find themselves managing protracted closures due to COVID-19. The goal of this course is to help teachers manage teaching and learning online for the last quarter of school. By the end of this course, teachers will consider the value of and how to manage live meetings with students (class meetings and one-on-one) and explore viable options for the design a meaningful way to assess learning digitally. We'll draw on the expertise of One Schoolhouse and also learn from our friend Lisa Damour about anxiety, screen time, and more.
COURSE FORMAT
Teachers will be guided through a one-week long, online course. You should know that this course will take about four hours to complete. This course is run asynchronously, so there is no fixed time when you must participate online. However, participants will need to complete coursework within the given week.
The course will begin with an introduction to the learning management system. Then, we will be introduced to research and resources on best practices for educational continuity in crisis situations. Throughout the course, participants will connect and collaborate with each other through interactive media, including short videos and discussion boards.
