COURSE OVERVIEW
Does the prospect of finding a way to identify and reverse learning loss give you cause for alarm? Because of the extended learning disruptions caused by the global pandemic, teachers across the country are desperate to find ways to recover from the learning loss experienced by most students. This online course is designed to give K-12 teachers the peace of mind they so desperately crave as they return to in-person instruction after a long absence. The course begins by discussing the impact that the novel coronavirus has had on schools. Teachers will learn strategies for using a variety of social and emotional best practices to attend to the whole student so that trauma and anxiety can be addressed head-on. As the course progresses, teachers will learn how to motivate their returning students by meeting them where they are through several research-backed best practices such as tiered lessons, guided inquiry, project-based learning, and active learning strategies. Teachers will take a deep dive into nine high-yield instructional strategies that have been proven to show the most potential for bridging any learning gaps. Teachers will learn how to compact their curriculum and to leverage technology in their favor. By the end of this course, teachers will feel more confident in their quest to embed a variety of high-yield, best practices into their own teaching habits so that any and all learning gaps can be bridged and conquered.
