Intel Teach: Elements Online
Intel Teach: Elements Online is a new series of five (5) online, instructor-guided, professional development courses offered by the LDOE’s Office of College and Career Readiness, Louisiana Virtual School Program. Each course provides teachers with new tools and new ideas for use directly in their classroom. Through the use of an online environment, teachers will now be able to complete professional development on their own schedule and without the requirement of travel or days out of the classroom. Each online course takes 6 weeks complete and offers the teacher the opportunity to earn 23 CLU’s. Please share this information with your teachers.
The 5 courses are:
1. Collaboration in the Digital Classroom provides teachers with strategies for building collaborative activities using online tools that support connection and sharing in and beyond the classroom.
2. Project-Based Approaches helps teachers improve their understanding and application of project-based approaches in the 21st century classroom.
3. Assessment in 21st Century Classrooms shows teachers ways to improve assessment of 21st century skills with new assessment strategies and tools for assessing 21st century skills.
4. Thinking Critically with Data helps teachers support thinking critically with data quality, display, and interpretation in students’ rapidly changing and busy world of information access.
5. Educational Leadership for the 21st Century helps school principals and district administrators support teacher effectiveness for student achievement through technology integration.
The first session of Assessment in 21st Century Classrooms begins November 21, 2011. To register for the course, please go to http://www.solutionwhere.com/
