Course Overview and Materials
Residents will engage in four intensive graduate courses. Summer courses provide an opportunity to build community and develop the knowledge base and philosophical orientation for a successful residency year. Courses will be listed by credential type; syllabi and additional course information will be accessible soon on Canvas (Alder’s learning management system).
Alder’s registration department will enroll you in your courses between June 1 - June 10, 2024, and will send a confirmation email once you are registered. Please note that you must meet the enrollment requirements before you can be registered. You will be able to view your courses on Populi under the “student” tab.
The Alder GSE residency is state-wide and will hold summer courses in various locations in the California regions we serve. In deep consideration of your learning experience, we are able to offer courses in regional locations and have assigned each cohort to a location based on proximity. Please see the details for your cohort-based summer course location. All courses will follow a schedule of 8:30a-5:00p daily.
Details (including parking info, specific classroom assignments etc.) will be linked soon.
