Description

Virtual Learning Opportunity for Wisconsin Educators!

In this micro-course, educators will develop a weekly learning schedule that blends face-to-face and remote teaching modalities. As part of this schedule, they will design a weekly blended learning arc that requires them to plan for whole group launch and closing sessions and to structure individual student learning sprints, collaborative projects/games, and 1:1 learner check-ins.

Course Attributes: Online Asynchronous Self-paced Rolling enrollment through August 31, 2022 Course must be completed by September 30, 2022 Addresses NSQOL Standards - H Some activities require interaction with learners	Learning Targets: Create a weekly blended learning arc for one course or subject. Plan for the delivery of an independent work sprint instructional model (i.e., teacher-directed, software directed, or hybrid) for use in independent work delivered by an online platform. Prepare and post a collaborative project or game aligned to the selected learning objective. Plan group discussions to launch and close the learning arc.


	Micro-courses allow learning in small steps and are designed to both teach and model competencies and skills related to high-quality instruction. Our micro-courses are typically a combination of online coursework and practical application. Each micro-course may take up to 15 hours to complete. Enrollment is rolling due to the self-paced nature of the course. Districts also have the option of creating their own cohort of participants. This micro-course is part of a statewide initiative to build capacity for, and expand access to, high quality online instructional resources and provide training for Wisconsin educators in the provision of online and remote instruction. It is being offered at no cost* by the Institute for Personalized Learning, a division of CESA #1, to Wisconsin educators only.
