Leading Edge Certification (LEC) Online Teacher Course
| Professional Development |
CTAP Region 3 will be conducting an Online Teacher Certification course from the Leading Edge Alliance, a partnership of the leading educational technology organizations in California. The goal of Leading Edge Certification is to help each participant become a more effective online instructor and to provide a learning context that interests, excites, and challenges participants to explore effective teaching practices.
Online education can provide the opportunity for students and professional learners to communicate and demonstrate mastery in ways that would be challenging in the traditional setting. Aligning effective pedagogy with engaging curriculum and a variety of online learning tools offers an empowering alternative for tomorrow's leaders. Preparing teachers for that opportunity is the sincere goal of the Leading Edge Certification (LEC) course.
LEC participants will integrate contemporary technology into teaching practices and learning activities using software, cloudware, and resources that serve curriculum objectives and educational goals. This course includes both theoretical and experiential components; participants will explore research and examples of effective practices in online instruction, but will also spend a substantial portion of course time developing ed ucationally meaningful and personally relevant products to support their online course and their LEC portfolio.
LEC participants can expect to spend 4-6 hours of work per week for the nine weeks of the course. The content of the course, which is based upon the iNACOL National Standards for Quality Teaching Online, and will be an adaptive release and delivered entirely online through the Haiku course management system, with the exception of the orientation. The work will include:
• Reading course materials and exploring examples
• Completing projects and assignments
• Sharing and reflecting with other class participants in discussion forums.
