An interactive course for private school teachers of all levels

Note: This event has been waitlisted. Please add your name to the form below and we'll let you know if a seat opens. You can also register for our open course from August 10–23.

Virtual Course Dates: Monday, July 13–Sunday, July 26

Private-independent school teachers worked hard to pivot to distance learning this spring. Now we must consider the 2020-2021 school year.

Teachers must prepare to teach some of their classes at a distance, while also having a plan for teaching in their physical classrooms. This course will prepare teachers to redesign their classes with evidence-based practices that build student engagement and support in-depth learning—by experiencing such a class themselves. 

How This Course Works

Mike Gwaltney, ISM Consultant and Director of Online Learning, and Barbara Beachley, ISM Consultant and Director of Organizational Learning and Development, will act as tutors, coaches, and mentors along the way. They will check in with each learner as he or she progress through the course.

Mike and Barbara will pace the course so that everyone will be given the same tasks at the same time. Participants have the freedom to complete their individual work when their schedule allows, while having access to a cohort of fellow learners to ask questions and discuss the tasks at hand. 

Teachers can expect to spend about 45 minutes to one hour per weekday (about 3-5 hours per week) working on the course, with the actual amount depending on their level of engagement in discussion boards, the complexity of the project(s) they take on, and the time they feel they can commit.

Virtual Workshop: Monday, July 20–Wednesday, July 22, 2020 ● Synchronous Learning Times: 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.; 2:30-4 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday and Wednesday
