Professional Development Via the Web:
On Demand eSeminars

How it Works

All that is required is a high speed internet connection. You will be able to see the power point presentation and hear the speaker on your computer. You will have access to the session 24/7 via a password and are entitled to unlimited viewing for the remainder of the school year.

On Demand eSeminars
eSeminars are web based sessions that have been recorded and are available for use whenever the user wants to have access. Participants are connected to the presentation by their computer screen and audio.

Users are given a password - click into the session to get the video part of the presentation and audio portion.

When participants purchase an ONDEMAND eSeminar they receive a password that entitles them to unlimited access for a specific amount of time (often an entire school year). Users you may view it when they choose and as many times as they wish. Sessions can be stopped and started up again in the place where left off.

All of the above programs are available for credit. Users are required, at various stages of each presentation to answer multiple choice questions that determine that the participant is engaged in the presentation. At the completion of the program, the user submits a request for completion and receives authentication that they have completed the program.

In today's world, where the backgrounds of our students are so diverse and their needs seemingly so numerous, teachers must find ways to consistently reach more kids more often. We can increase the likelihood of this happening by recognizing and responding to our students' varied readiness levels for new learning, honoring and celebrating their diverse interests, and understanding their unique preferences for how they learn new information and practice new skills. Come join 25-year teaching veteran and differentiation expert Cindy Strickland for a motivating (yet sensible!) introduction to differentiation of instruction.

Reading in the Content Areas
with Marilyn McGuire

Reading is a gatekeeper skill. Students who have sound reading skills that can adapt to a variety of reading materials are set up for school success. Students who struggle often do so because of poor reading skills. While teachers are typically taught how to teach reading, they are usually not taught how to teach reading skills in the all-important content areas or how to address the wide ranges of reading ability in each class-ranges that only grow as students progress through the grades. This course provides research-based, specific and immediately useful strategies that teachers can use to increase student reading ability and content area knowledge.

In session 2, we will build on the story strategies and add several new tools to help students master this sophisticated and challenging structure of text. The brief, culminating session will describe several very short writing assignments that help students demonstrate their comprehension in both the story and informational structures.
