Announcing Online Courses for Educators

To further serve our districts with a variety of quality professional development, the Greene County ESC is now offering online course opportunities for teachers and administrators.  The online programs are produced by Educational Impact and offer these features:

• Streaming Video of program presenters, classroom demos, and case studies.
• Chat rooms allowing program participants to have ongoing discussions concerning program content and to share ideas
• Hand outs accompany speaker presentations and can be printed while watching the video segments
• The speaker’s key points are highlighted with bullet points and with animations to support the video presentation
• Ask a Question: Users can pause video segments to post questions to speakers and others
• Assessment: Each section has a randomly selected multiple choice assessment
• Survey Questions: Users are asked polling questions about ongoing initiatives in their schools. Users can then query the survey results to determine best practices.
• Library: Users can query a comprehensive list of additional resources and web sites pertaining to program topics.

These courses are presented by nationally known experts and offer practical classroom models.  They will be appropriate for those seeking course credit for licensure, those seeking to improve their knowledge of best practices, and those seeking to advance their skills through a self-paced program.  The courses are available through GCESC for $60 each and can be purchased by contacting Donna Shoup at dshoup@greeneesc.org or at 767-1303 ext.120.  Antioch McGregor graduate credit (1 quarter hour) is available for an additional fee and can be arranged through Donna Shoup.
