**NEW COURSE: Raise the Bar: Elevate Your Beginning Teaching Practice

Ellen Moir aptly called the first years of teaching the survival phase when “...most new

teachers struggle to keep their heads above water. They become very focused and

consumed with the day-to-day routine of teaching. There is little time to stop and reflect

on their experiences. It is not uncommon for new teachers to spend up to seventy hours

a week on schoolwork…” (California New Teacher Project, published by the California

Department of Education, 1990.)


This three-credit CPE course offers targeted professional development to teachers who have

been in the profession for five years or less - those who are transitioning out of the

survival phase and ready to hone their skills more deeply. It is an opportunity to step

back from their developing teaching practices and examine whether or not change is

needed in order to maximize student achievement. It calls on participants to deeply

examine evidence-based practices, implement them and, using their own collected

data, reflect on corresponding student outcomes.

Project Based Approaches

The goal of this course is to impact student learning by using specific classroom scenarios in which teachers explore characteristics and benefits of Project- Based Learning (PBL). Throughout the course, teachers consider their own teaching practice as they follow a teacher new to project-based learning who discusses strategies with a mentor teacher. They also consider the ways that technology supports project-based approaches. Planning and project design modules guide teachers through organizing the curriculum, the classroom, technology, and students for successful 21st century projects. By improving PBL design and delivery, students will development skills that will prepare them for today’s world. These skills include but are not limited to research, teamwork, problem solving, analyzing and synthesizing information. The assessment module demonstrates strategies for assessing students’ 21st century skills throughout an open-ended project. The course offers opportunities to apply the PBL concepts with action planning exercises.
