A recent Time magazine poll asked members of the public how they felt about teacher tenure. And, in the course of a 26-word question, Time managed to perpetuate three myths that educators say are contributing to the public’s misunderstanding over what tenure is — and what it’s not.
Effective Teaching in Diverse Classrooms
This course explores strategies that work with all learners, with a focus on language acquisition, and takes participants through five phases of implementing Center for Research on Education and Diversity (CREDE)-based pedagogy standards. Educators learn to interface with students one-on-one, scaffold instruction according to student needs, allow students to be responsible for their own needs, and plan content that connects to each student's life. This course is recommended for colleagues working together; it provides participants with peer coaching techniques. The program was developed in partnership with the Illinois Education Association and the Consortium for Educational Change.
Highlights: Coaching strategies that can be used either by coaches working with teachers or colleagues working together in a learning community. Embedded assignments and video throughout the course. Classroom video examples.
