Course 1: Building a Culture for Learning

Building a Culture for Learning is an independent, online course that can be initiated upon acceptance into the program, and must be complete prior to beginning Course Two. With a focus on creating a culturally responsive classroom that maximizes learning, this course involves developing social emotional learning foundations, building supportive relationships, embracing a growth mindset and designing classroom routines.

Course 2: Maximizing Learning for All

Maximizing Learning for All is completed while the participant is teaching in the classroom. This course supports teachers' abilities to define learning outcomes for students, develop effective lessons, infuse disciplinary literacy, use formative assessments effectively, build trusting relationships, and provide effective feedback with culturally responsive teaching. Includes an orientation for distance learning and hybrid options. (Look for details about online distance learning and hybrid options in earlier sections.)

Course 3: Completing Your Educator Portfolio

Completing Your Educator Portfolio is an independent, online course held during the Winter semester weeks immediately following Course Two. This supports teachers as they work to master the requirements of the NC performance assessment for licensure.
