      In this learning opportunity, we will utilize Modern Classrooms Project’s free course to pause, reset and create a local support structure as you work to design your own elements of a blended, self-paced, and mastery-based classroom. The Modern Classrooms Project is a nonprofit that has developed an instructional framework grounded in blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning that leverages technology to foster human connection, authentic learning, and social-emotional growth.

       In this 6 week largely asynchronous, self-paced course, we’ll work to design learning for your students that makes it easier to meet the needs of all your students (even when they’re absent), allows you to have a clearer picture of student learning, and includes a blended learning framework to allow you to work with smaller groups of students while the learning continues in your classroom.

      Cohort 1 - October 31, 2022 - December 11, 2022

      With the demands of life that educators face in their personal and professional lives, it can sometimes be difficult to channel creativity into teaching and learning.  This course is designed to teach you the art of sketchnoting, a visual note-taking technique that combines drawings, typography, and symbols to create engaging and memorable and visually appealing notes.  By learning the fundamental principles of sketchnoting and how to apply them to your content, you will be able to build confidence and create visually engaging and effective visual representations of content that will help you remember and understand information better.

      Please Note: as materials will be mailed to participants for this session, you will be asked to confirm your participation via email 3 weeks prior to the start date.  If you choose not to respond to the confirmation email we will unregister you so a waitlist participant may join.
