Course Introduction

Too often professional development for teachers feels like an add-on, leaving them overwhelmed and simply wanting more time to explore for themselves what they can integrate into their classroom for student learning improvement. This course is designed to be a professional development framework that empowers the individual teacher to research and implement new teaching practices to improve student learning. This course becomes a mini action-research project that gives personal attention on what each educator needs to focus on make an impact in student learning.
