This course is not intended as a “gotcha” kind of course. The goal is to for you to analyze your own practices in light of the research, set your own learning goals, and become self-directed in your growth as a professional while applying new strategies.

Your success depends on YOU. Interact with others, learn from others and TAKE risks trying new strategies and and methods. Teachers who have done so in the past have transformed their teaching practices!!

Most of all…

Enjoy the ride!
