The goal is to bring a variety of research-based pedagogical strategies into classroom. The program consists of ten courses, and each course contains a variety of research-based pedagogical strategies. Each course is an individual entity. You can take all courses or individual courses.
Clock hours include (a) watching the video mini-lectures, (b) taking notes, (c) planning and implementing two strategies, (d) observing and analyzing the effectiveness of the strategies, and (e) completing the Report and Analysis Form. A professional development certificate can be earned by completion of the courses.

I thoroughly enjoyed the program, and learned a great deal. I now include many of these strategies in my sessions, and not only can I see my students progressing, but they are actually enjoying themselves more. Sentence mix-up is a favorite of quite a few of them! Thank you very much.
