Online Professional Development Courses and Graduate Credit from Pickaway County ESC:
Courses for Teachers, Administrators, & Support Personnel
To further serve our districts with a variety of quality professional development, the Pickaway County ESC is now offering on-line course opportunities for teachers, administrators, and support personnel. The on-line programs are produced by Educational Impact and offer these features:
• Streaming Video of program presenters, classroom demos, and case studies.
• Hand outs accompany speaker presentations. These can be printed while watching the video segments.
• The speaker’s key points are highlighted with bullet points. Animations are also used to support and enhance the video presentation.
• Ask a Question: Users can pause video segments to post questions to speakers and others.
• Survey Questions: Users are asked polling questions about ongoing initiatives in their schools. Users can then query the survey results to determine best practices.
• Assessment: Each section has a randomly selected multiple choice assessment.
• Chat rooms can be accessed which allow program participants to have ongoing discussions concerning program content as well as the sharing of ideas.
• 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 including, among others, Michael Fullan, Charlotte Danielson, Doug Reeves, Bob Marzano, and Vicky Bernhardt. Practical classroom models are offered through the presentations. Educational Impact 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 PCESC for $50 each and can be purchased by contacting Ty Ankrom
