Online Courses

When educators are asked what type of support they need the overwhelming response is “time”. While districts and schools have begun to find creative ways to make more available, it should never become a roadblock to growth. Now more than ever educators need and deserve high-quality, research-aligned, and evidence-based professional learning where time becomes an asset as opposed to an impediment. The solution lies in asynchronous courses where content and concepts are chunked into manageable pieces supported with artifacts of evidence, through-provoking questions, and action-oriented tasks to foster real change, now.


 

ConnectEDD Publishing, in partnership with Aspire Change EDU, is excited to have created an asynchronous course on the best-selling book Disruptive Thinking in Our Classrooms (for bulk order discounts email info@connecteddpublishing.com). Broken into four modules, the course leverages content from the book, insight from thousands of school visits, practical strategies, research, lessons from the pandemic, and examples from classrooms to assist educators in transforming their practice. The parts are:

Rethinking “Normal” Rethinking Learning Rethinking the Learner Rethinking our Mindset

Each module contains two (2) presentation video segments that introduce content and concepts with practical examples to illustrate how the strategies can be implemented in any environment. To inspire reflection and action leading to growth educators will find an array of activities within the modules including pertinent readings, video clips for analysis, question sets, and disruptive challenges.

You are provided with all the items listed above to create your own standalone course in the learning management system (LMS) that you currently use such as Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, etc. that can be scaled district or schoolwide no matter how many staff you currently have employed. The book is not needed per se to take the course, however, it is highly recommended as it dives deeper into many of the concepts presented.

While the course itself is estimated to take forty (40) hours to complete all the tasks within each module, you have the freedom to adapt as needed. The cost is $5000 payable to Aspire Change EDU.
