1 Credits

This course focuses on the pedagogy of teaching an online course, targeting instructional practices that support and promote (high school) student achievement and engagement. OTM participants complete the course in an asynchronous, paced format, collaborating with peers and learning about teaching online through the perspective of the student. They read about, discuss, and evaluate instructional practices, applying their understanding to the online environment. Topics include an exploration of Professional responsibilities (classroom management, general communication, grading, technology use, etc.) and critical skills (communicating clearly and professionally, meeting the needs of all learners, providing substantive feedback, building community and engagement, and enhancing learning through digital pedagogy) that contribute to a rigorous, engaging learning experience for high school students.
