Course Descriptions:

Achieving Student Outcomes Through Cooperative Learning:

This course will introduce you to practical skills that will help our students increase their achievements while working in groups. The goal is to help you become proficient with the skills of group set-up, monitoring, and debriefing. You will learn to prevent typical classroom problems that often occur during group work and effectively take care of any other problems which may occur. You will learn to manage collaboratively processes so that students learn academics and interpersonal skills simultaneously. Achieving Student Outcomes through Cooperative Learning teaches you to do two types of cooperative learning. The first, Cooperative Starters, involves students in activities that can be done quickly (in less than ten minutes class time) and can be immediately infused into your current teaching strategies. The second, the Cooperative Learning 3-D Model, is appropriate for a class period of 40-60 minutes. Here you will teach students to be interpersonally effective, learn to monitor group work, and debrief lessons at their conclusion.

Brain-Based Ways We Think and Learn (Patterns for I.D.E.A.S.):

This course is about how we think and learn. Understanding how and why we think differently under different circumstances is vital, as it can help us solve problems and arrive at solutions. It’s important for educators to know this so that they can be aware of a student’s thinking process at any give time. It’s important for students to know this as well, since critical thinking and problem solving are the hallmark expectations for the twenty-first century.
