Description

The primary purpose of this course is to prepare teachers to design and teach research based lessons. Whether working towards continuous improvement, integrating academics and best practices, or adjusting to changes in curriculum and testing, teachers can feel confident in their ability to respond to these needs.

You will see how lesson planning can become a practical tool for effective instruction, and how teacher created materials weave together multiple research-based strategies. In the process of practical planning and effective instruction, we’ll create evidence we are partners in academic success.

In addition to collaborating with your peers, there will be plenty of help available to help you generate ideas and design your lessons.  If you're willing to roll up your sleeves and engage in this work, YOU WILL SUCCEED.
